Strategy Overview
With a good typing and solid defenses, Tapu Fini is a strong defensive Pokemon that can check many of the metagame's offensive threats, such as Urshifu-R, Buzzwole, and Weavile, while supporting its own team with Misty Terrain, keeping them safe from status. Tapu Fini further supports its team with access to a handful of powerful utility moves, like Trick, allowing it to cripple opposing defensive Pokemon with a Choice Scarf set, and Taunt, which lets it take advantage of more passive foes to set up and shut down opposing setup sweepers. However, Tapu Fini lacks reliable recovery, only learning Draining Kiss, which is a significant Base Power downgrade from Moonblast, and Rest, which is blocked by Misty Terrain. This makes it reliant on Leftovers and susceptible to being chipped down if it loses them or opts for a Choice Scarf set, which can eventually lead to it being overwhelmed by the Pokemon that it is supposed to check, like Weavile and Urshifu-R. Additionally, many prominent metagame threats like Rillaboom, Kartana, and Tapu Koko pose a serious threat to Tapu Fini.
