[SET COMMENTS]
Tapu Fini is a excellent Defogger that pressures and beats a large number of entry hazard setters such as Heatran, Landorus-T, and Kommo-o. Its amazing typing and multiple utility moves in Taunt and Nature's Madness, as well as its great bulk, allow it to be a sturdy check to terrifying threats such as Ash-Greninja, Weavile, and Heatran as well. However, due to its lack of consistent recovery and its vulnerability to all entry hazards, it is easily worn down throughout the match. Scald allows Tapu Fini to threaten burns on the likes of Tapu Bulu, Landorus-T, Corviknight, and Rillaboom, as well as pressuring Heatran consistently. Nature's Madness greatly chips its switch-ins like Amoonguss and Ferrothorn for its teammates. Taunt lets Tapu Fini prevent Pokemon such as Ferrothorn from setting up entry hazards in front of it and the likes of Mega Scizor and Clefable from setting up on it; Taunt also lets it force out Pokemon like Toxapex and Slowking in combination with Nature's Madness. Knock Off is another option that can punish common switch-ins such as Tangrowth and Galarian Slowking by removing their items, as well as removing Leftovers, Heavy-Duty Boots, and Black Sludge from the likes of Toxapex, Amoonguss, Slowking, and Tapu Bulu, greatly reducing their longevity and effectiveness. The given EV spread allows Tapu Fini to live a boosted Acrobatics from Hawlucha and OHKO it back, as well as outspeeding and 2HKOing offensive Heatran with Scald, with the remaining EVs in Special Defense to check the likes of Heatran and Ash-Greninja better.

Tapu Fini fits on bulky offense teams, which appreciate it checking big offensive threats such as Heatran and Ash-Greninja, as well as providing good Defog support. Physical attackers that fear being burnt such as Kartana, Garchomp, Mega Scizor, and Melmetal, as well as Pokemon generally susceptible to status like Tangrowth, Volcarona, and Mega Tyranitar, synergize well with Tapu Fini due to Misty Terrain protecting them from status. Due to Tapu Fini being weak to Electric- and Grass-type moves, Pokemon that can take these attacks such as Gliscor, Ferrothorn, Zapdos, and Mega Latias are solid teammates. In return, Tapu Fini takes the Ice- and Fire-type attacks directed at them. Pokemon such as Mega Lopunny and Mega Scizor that appreciate its reliable Defogging are also good partners. Lastly, it checking offensive behemoths like Greninja and Heatran makes Volcarona and Gliscor stellar partners.

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

A more offensive Choice Scarf set can be utilized with Trick, Hydro Pump, Moonblast, and either Defog or a coverage move of choice. This set trades off a lot of the bulk of a normal Defog set in order to become a solid revenge killer, as well as providing good offensive prowess. Choice Scarf Tapu Fini is usually used on offensive teams that appreciate it soft checking Heatran and Greninja while also revenge killing the likes of boosted Mega Gyarados, Mega Lopunny, and Ash-Greninja.

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

**Grass-types and Grass-type Coverage**: Bulky Grass-types such as Tangrowth, Ferrothorn, Amoonguss, and Tapu Bulu can reliably switch into Tapu Fini and force it out, and can they easily recover off the damage dealt. However, they all fear losing their item to Knock Off, and Tapu Bulu doesnt want to switch into a Scald, fearing a burn. Offensive Grass-types such as Serperior, Rillaboom, and Kartana all force it out, but the latter two are threatened by a Scald burn and don't appreciate a Moonblast, so they can't switch in as easily. Grass-type coverage from the likes of Mega Charizard Y and 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 they can get easily worn down by switching in multiple times. Zapdos is especially a good switch-in due to it easily recovering off the damage dealt to later pressure Tapu Fini out again. Electric-type coverage moves from the likes of Clefable, Blaziken, and Victini can also force it out.

**Poison-types**: Poison-types such as Mega Venusaur, Galarian Slowking and Gengar all pressure Tapu Fini consistently with their STAB moves, although Gengar struggles to switch in repeatedly due to its frailty, and Galarian Slowking fears being rendered much less effective by a Knock Off.

**Chip Damage**: Due to Tapu Fini’s lack of reliable recovery, chip damage can easily rack up, eventually wearing it down into range of the likes of Greninja and Heatran. Since Tapu Fini is going be removing opposing entry hazards, it also has to worry about switching into them, worsening its longevity as the game goes on.

**Strong Wallbreakers**: Strong wallbreakers such as Z-Move Heatran, Mega Medicham, and Tapu Lele can dent Tapu Fini massively, greatly reducing its lifespan.
