[overview] **Draft Order**: Round 2 onwards **Price Range**: 15-16 points **Overview**: Tapu Fini is a top-tier defensive utility Pokemon in the metagame. Its Water / Fairy typing along with its great defensive stats let it check many top-tier wallbreakers and retaliate with its utility moves...
Tapu Fini can very effectively run a physically defensive spread consisting of 248 HP / 156 Def / 40 SpD / 64 Spe to better handle the likes of Mega Charizard X and Mega Swampert, with 156 Defense EVs allowing it to avoid the 2HKO from Mega Medicham's Zen Headbutt from full health with Leftovers. 64 Speed EVs let Tapu Fini always outspeed ...
However, forgoing Taunt or Defog loses out on Tapu Fini's utility, which makes shutting down walls and supporting its team needlessly more difficult.

While Kyogre can wash away thing Tapu Fini still struggles with like Ho-Oh, Solgaleo, Metagross, Melmetal, Snorlax, Xerneas, Wild Charge Zacian, Ursaluna, and Mewtwo, Fini still handles the big Ground and/or Rock types other than Ursaluna and boatload of Dragons that Kyogre has no real shot against, to include Zygarde, Dragonite, Palkia, and ...
Tapu Bulu is a good wallbreaker and has perfect defensive synergy with Heatran, making it a decent pick. Choice Scarf and Choice Band Victini benefits greatly from the pivoting and Defog support provided by Landorus-Therian, Tornadus-Therian and Tapu Fini respectively and is a good offensive pokemon overall.
In return, Tapu Fini prevents Urshifu-R from getting burned by Pokémon such as Spectrier and Toxapex. The combination of Tapu Fini and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R is also quite dangerous for Dark-type teams, as Urshifu-R deals with foes such as Tyranitar, Weavile, and Bisharp while Tapu Fini handles Mandibuzz and Hydreigon.
Fini is the only Guardian Deity we can currently sneak into Great League, as thanks to its high bulk but lower Attack, there are 31 IV combinations after trading with a Best Friend, and 300 Ultra Friend trade IV combinations, that allow a Level 20 Tapu Fini to hit 1500 CP or less. And of course, many players have already succeeded in this.
