[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
=============
Iron Defense and Calm Mind helps to check physical attacking Pokemon like Garchomp and Sawk and special attacking Pokemon such as Volcarona, Primarina, Moltres-Galar, and Heatran respectively. Draining Kiss provides reliable recovery after a few set up. Taunt helps to stop the opposing Pokemon from setting up such as Swords Dance Garchomp, Quiver Dance Volcarona, Calm Mind Cresselia, and Shell Smash Crustle, while also shutting down stall Pokemon such as Registeel, etc. Surf provides coverage for steel types such as Heatran, Magnezone, Celesteela, Metagross and Registeel. It also allows Tapu Fini to hit Ground- and Fire-types such as Volcarona, Heatran, Landorus-Therian, Assault Vest Entei, Arcanine and Rhyperior.
EVs
=============
Tapu Fini is invested in HP so that it can survive 4 Seismic Tosses. It's Speed investment helps it to outspeed Dracovish and Dracozolt and the rest is dumped into defense for better match ups into Pokemon like Garchomp and Sawk.
Usage Tips
=============
Tapu Fini can set up Iron Defense against Physical attacking Pokemon to maximize it's defense and then recover it's HP back with the help of Draining Kisses. Against Special attacking Pokemon, Tapu Fini has to use Calm Mind to maximize it's Special Attack and Special Defense and then spam Draining Kiss or Surf based on opposing Pokemon's HP left.
Tapu Fini needs to be careful about certain stall Pokemon as it struggles to deal with Pokemon such as Entei and Registeel. So it must taunt them to stop it from stalling Tapu Fini out of its move pp. Tapu Fini also needs to be careful about being Taunted or Tricked into Choice items. Faster Taunt is the only way to stop them.
Against Custap users such as Primarina, Sylveon and Crustle, one must always Taunt turn 1 and then start to set up with Calm Minds and Iron Defenses and then damage them with attacking moves that are Surf and Draining Kiss.
