Sun Historically, people in areas all over the world have ridden Tauros, but the practice is said to have started in Alola.
Moon Although it’s known to be a fierce Pokémon, Tauros in the Alola region are said to possess a measure of calmness.
Ultra Sun They live in groups. The one with the longest, thickest, and most-scarred horns is the boss of the herd.
Ultra Moon The climate seems to be related to the reason Tauros in Alola are a little calmer than those in other regions.
Let's Go Pikachu

Sword When Tauros begins whipping itself with its tails, it’s a warning that the Pokémon is about to charge with astounding speed.

Combat Breed

Scarlet This Pokémon has a muscular body and excels at close-quarters combat. It uses its short horns to strike the opponent’s weak spots.
Violet This kind of Tauros, known as the Combat Breed, is distinguished by its thick, powerful muscles and its fierce disposition.

Blaze Breed

Scarlet When heated by fire energy, its horns can get hotter than 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Those gored by them will suffer both wounds and burns.
Violet People call this kind of Tauros the Blaze Breed due to the hot air it snorts from its nostrils. Its three tails are intertwined.

Aqua Breed

Scarlet This Pokémon blasts water from holes on the tips of its horns—the high-pressure jets pierce right through Tauros’s enemies.
Violet It swims by jetting water from its horns. The most notable characteristic of the Aqua Breed is its high body fat, which allows it to float easily.
