Location
Alola Tapu Village Map.png
Location of Tapu Village in Alola.

Tapu Village (Japanese: カプの Kapu Village) is the site of a former village located on Ula'ula Island of the Alola region.

Places of interest

Tapu Village mostly consists of ruins of buildings that were destroyed by Tapu Bulu, due to a Thrifty Megamart being built on its sacred grounds nearby. As such, the only functioning building in the village is the Pokémon Center.

The village also houses the entrance to Mount Lanakila. In Sun and Moon, the player cannot access the mountain at all until they've defeated Lusamine in Ultra Space, while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the base of the mountain is accessible as soon as the player first visits the village.

Demographics

Pokémon Sun and Moon

The population of Tapu Village is 13, making it the smallest town in Alola. This is likely due to the destruction of most of the village by Tapu Bulu.

At the Pokémon Center Café, the owner will give the player two gifts the first time they buy a drink each day: an item and a dozen Poké Beans.

He will also give the player a Rare Candy if they have fed certain amounts of Poké Beans to their Pokémon.
