Tapu Koko first appeared in five-star raids during this season and the other Alola guardian deities - Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini - were released into Pokémon Go during the following months.

There is a Guardian Tapu for each of the islands in Sun and Moon - Tapu Koko for Melemele, Tapu Lele for Akala, Tapu Bulu for Ula’Ula, and Tapu Fini for Poni Island. In the main games, Tapu Koko is the first you’ll encounter once the Elite Four has been defeated in the Ruins of Conflict. Meanwhile, the official Pokédex entry describes them as: “Although it’s called a guardian deity, if a person or Pokémon puts it in a bad mood, it will become a malevolent deity and attack.” Good luck catching Tapu Koko in Pokémon Go!
