Updated on May 3rd, 2024 by Md Armughanuddin: The article has been updated with the latest counters for Tapu Fini as per the current meta. Additionally, an overview of the resistances has been provided which should help players in formulating their team for the battle, while the movesets section should assist in getting the right build for Tapu Fini.
Tapu Fini Weakness & Resistances
Tapu Fini is a Water and Fairy-type, which is a pretty fascinating pairing, giving players some very interesting counters to work with. The best strategy is going to revolve around fielding a team full ofthe best Electric, Grass, and Poison types available in the game. Additionally, when it comes to its resistance, players should avoid using Pokemon and moves with Dragon, Bug, Dark, Fighting, Fire, Ice, and Water types, as Tapu Fini takes decreased damage against that.
Thunder Fang
Wild Charge
As always, players should keep in mind that they don’t need to assemble this exact roster in order to successfully take down the big boss. The most important thing is going to be to head into the battle with the correct number of allies (in this case at least four or five other experienced players) and to stick to taking advantage of Tapu Fini’s weaknesses. In this case, that means fielding a roster with the best Electric, Grass, and Poison-types available. Players may also have tospend some Stardust, Elite TMs, and Candyin order to power up the roster and get the best move sets in place.
Best Moveset For Tapu Fini
Once players have caught Tapu Fini, it is crucial that they have the right moveset for it to make the most of the Pokemon. Here are the moves it can possibly learn.
Hydro Pump
Surf
As far as the best moveset for it is concerned, despite Tapu Fini being a Fairy and Water-type Pokemon, its best moveset only comprises Water-type moves. This is to maximize the DPS of the Pokemon, although something like Moonblast can work too. The strategy, like some of the other charged-focus Pokemon, should be to gain as much energy as possible via the fast moves quickly and then use the charged attack. Here are the moves players should use.
