[SET COMMENTS]

Calm Mind Tapu Fini is a terrifying late-game sweeper, using its immense bulk, typing, and ability to summon Misty Terrain to find multiple setup opportunities throughout the match. It also checks offensive behemoths such as Ash-Greninja and Heatran. However, due to its low Speed stat and time needed to become a huge threat, it is prone to being revenge killed. Calm Mind, besides boosting Tapu Fini's offense, makes it harder for special attackers to revenge kill. Taunt stops Toxapex's Haze from removing its boosts, as well as denying recovery from the likes of Chansey, Blissey, Clefable, and Toxapex. It also blocks status moves after its Misty Terrain wears off. Scald allows Tapu Fini to effectively check Heatran, as well as threatening burns on Pokemon such as Landorus-T, Rillaboom, and Tapu Bulu. Draining Kiss allows Tapu Fini to consistently recover HP alongside its Leftovers while wearing down the foe, as well as outhealing the likes of Chansey and Blissey. The given EV spread lets it outspeed Modest Heatran.

Tapu Fini fits best on bulky offense teams that appreciate having a sturdy wincon as well as a check to the likes of Heatran and Ash-Greninja. Pokemon that appreciate Tapu Fini pressuring bulkier teams work well with it, including Pokemon that can pressure offense such as Mega Lopunny and Zeraora. Pokemon that can wear down or remove bulky Grass-types such as Tangrowth, Amoonguss, and Ferrothorn are great partners, such as Mega Latios and Heatran. Mega Medicham, Ash-Greninja, and Rillaboom break holes in opposing teams to pave the way for Tapu Fini to clean. Magnezone works great with Tapu Fini due to it removing the likes of Ferrothorn for it. Pokemon such as Mega Mawile and Gliscor that appreciate Heatran and Ash-Greninja being pressured are also good partners.

Tapu Fini has no viable other options.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Grass-types and Grass-type coverage**: Bulky Grass-types such as Tangrowth, Amoonguss, and Tapu Bulu can reliably switch into Tapu Fini and force it out, and they can easily recover off the damage dealt. Ferrothorn especially is extremely threatening to Tapu Fini, as it resists both of its STAB options and also offsets Draining Kiss recovery with Iron Barbs. Offensive Grass-types such as Serperior, Rillaboom, and Kartana all force it out, but the latter two are threatened by a Scald burn, so they can't switch in as easily. Grass-type coverage from the likes of Mega Charizard Y and Energy Ball Manaphy also greatly threatens it.

**Electric-types and Electric-type coverage**: Pokemon such as Zeraora, Magnezone, and Tapu Koko all can threaten Tapu Fini out with their STAB moves, but switching in multiple times can easily wear them down. Electric-type coverage moves from the likes of Mega Medicham, Blaziken, and Victini can also threaten it.

**Offensive Pressure**: Due to how long Tapu Fini takes to become threatening, as well as its lack of reliable recovery, constant offensive pressure from Pokemon such as Heatran and Mega Mawile can easily wear it down.

Calm Mind Tapu Fini is a terrifying late game sweeper, being able to abuse its immense bulk and ability to negate status to shred through teams. However, due to its low Speed stat and how it takes a while for it to get going, it is prone to being revenge killed easily as it lacks immediate power. Calm Mind allows Tapu Fini to boost its bulk and offenses at the same time, making it harder for it to be revenge killed By special attackers Clarify here since you just mentioned that its revenged easily in the previous paragraph once it gets going. Taunt lets Tapu Fini prevent its boosts from being Hazed away from Toxapex, as well as denying recovery from the likes of Chansey, Blissey, Clefable and Toxapex. Scald allows Tapu Fini to effectively check Heatran, as well as threatening burns on Pokemon such as Landorus-T, Rillaboom and Tapu Bulu. Draining Kiss allows Tapu Fini to consistently recover HP alongside its leftovers, as well as outheal the likes of Chansey and Blissey. The given EV spread allows Tapu Fini to outspeed Modest Heatran, and the rest are used to maximise its bulk.

Paragraph 2:
Pokemon that appreciate Tapu Fini pressuring bulkier teams work well with it, so Pokemon such as Mega Lopunny and Zeraora are stellar teammates. Pokemon that can wear down bulky Grass-types such as Tangrowth, Amoonguss and Ferrothorn are great partners, so Pokemon such as Mega Latios and Heatran are stellar partners. Furthermore, Pokemon that can break holes in opposing teams to pave the way for Tapu Fini to clean are also appreciated, so Mega Medicham, Ash Greninja and Rillaboom work well with it.

what teams does fini fit on?

mention something like constant offensive pressure here as that's a common way of dealing with it

Calm Mind Tapu Fini is a terrifying late game sweeper, being able to abuse its immense bulk, typing, and ability to summon Misty Terrain to shred through teams this overview is weird, it reads as though Misty Terrain is the reason why Calm Mind Tapu Fini shreds through teams, when of course isn't the case, reword this to say how Misty Terrain allows it to switch into status, and combined with its other attributes gives it multiple setup opportunities , as well as checking prominent offensive behemoths such as Ash-Greninja and Heatran. However, due to its low Speed stat and how it takes a while for it to get going become a huge threat, it is prone to being revenge killed easily. Calm Mind allows Tapu Fini to boost its bulk and offenses at the same time, making it harder for it to be revenge killed by special attackers once it gets going. Taunt lets Tapu Fini prevent its boosts from being Hazed away by Toxapex, as well as denying recovery from the likes of Chansey, Blissey, Clefable and Toxapex. you should also mention how it prevents itself from being affected by status once its Misty Terrain wears off Scald allows Tapu Fini to effectively check Heatran, as well as threatening burns on Pokemon such as Landorus-T, Rillaboom and Tapu Bulu. Draining Kiss allows Tapu Fini to consistently recover HP alongside its leftovers while wearing down the opponent, as well as outheal the likes of Chansey and Blissey. The given EV spread allows Tapu Fini to outspeed Modest Heatran, and the rest are used to maximise its bulk.

Tapu Fini fits best on bulky offense teams that appreciate having a sturdy wincon as well as a check to the likes of Heatran and Ash-Greninja. Pokemon that appreciate Tapu Fini pressuring bulkier teams work well with it, so Pokemon that can pressure offense such as Mega Lopunny and Zeraora are stellar teammates. Pokemon that can wear down or remove bulky Grass-types such as Tangrowth, Amoonguss, and Ferrothorn are great partners tangrowth and amoonguss aren't really worn down that easily because of regenerator , so Pokemon such as Mega Latios and Heatran are stellar partners. Furthermore, Pokemon that can break holes in opposing teams to pave the way for Tapu Fini to clean are also appreciated, so Mega Medicham, Ash Greninja, and Rillaboom work well with it. Magnezone works great with Tapu Fini due to it being able to remove the likes of Ferrothorn for it. Pokemon such as Mega Mawile and Gliscor that appreciate Heatran and Ash-Greninja being pressured are also good partners.

===================

**Grass-types**: Bulky Grass-types such as Tangrowth, Amoonguss, and Ferrothorn can reliably switch into Tapu Fini and force it out, and can easily recover off the damage dealt. you should really emphasize ferrothorn because that's one of tapu fini's absolute worst matchups. Offensive Grass-types such as Kartana, Serperior, Rillaboom, and Tapu Bulu all force it out, but the latter two are threatened by a Scald burn, so they cant switch in as easily.

**Electric-types**: Pokemon such as Zeraora, Magnezone, and Tapu Koko all can threaten it out with their STAB moves, but can get easily worn down by switching in multiple times. you should also mention electric-type coverage as well here and who can use it to overwhelm tapu fini

**Constant Offensive Pressure**: Due to how long Tapu Fini takes to get going become threatening as well as its lack of reliable recovery, constant offensive pressure from Pokemon such as Heatran and Weavile weavile gets abused because of draining kiss and can't really do much in return even without any boosts, so this isn't a good mention, i'd mention mega mawile instead can easily wear it down.
