[SET COMMENTS]
Taking advantage of Tapu Fini's ability, good defensive typing, and high defensive stats, this set is a powerful setup sweeper in the Monotype metagame and poses a threat to many types, including Fire and Flying. Scald deals with Steel- and Ground-types such as Corviknight and Nidoking, and it threatens to burn incoming physical attackers such as Celesteela, which Tapu Fini can then use as setup fodder. Draining Kiss hits Dragon-types like Dragapult and Hydreigon super effectively and lets Tapu Fini regain health. Taunt allows Tapu Fini to thwart Haze attempts from foes like Toxapex and Mantine. Substitute can be used over Taunt to prevent foes like Toxic Victini from statusing it once Misty Terrain runs out, in addition to blocking Celesteela's Leech Seed. It also lets Tapu Fini safely damage offensive checks such as Thundurus-T, and it prevents Clear Smog Gastrodon from clearing Tapu Fini's boosts. 184 Defense EVs ease the matchup against Celesteela and Dragonite, and 8 Special Attack EVs guarantee Scald 2HKOes Thundurus-T when Tapu Fini is at +1. 8 EVs in Special Defense prevent Gastrodon from breaking its Substitute with Earth Power. 56 Speed EVs let Taunt Tapu Fini outspeed Jolly Azumarill to prevent it from using Belly Drum, as well as Mantine to stop its Haze.

Klefki is a superb teammate for Tapu Fini, as not only does it set dual screens to let Tapu Fini set up more easily, but it is also immune to Poison. It can also set Spikes to assist Tapu Fini's sweep attempts. Tapu Bulu is also a great teammate, as it can deal with Toxapex and Mantine, both of which cause trouble for Tapu Fini. However, the latter is only problematic if using Substitute. Tapu Bulu can also deal with troublesome Steel- and Poison-types, such as Ferrothorn and Galarian Slowking, with Close Combat and High Horsepower. Tapu Lele is another solid option, as it threatens Poison- and Water-types such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Mantine with Psychic and Thunderbolt, all while pressuring Kyurem and drawing in Dragalge to chip it. Tapu Koko threatens Water-types and Cinderace and brings Tapu Fini in against foes such as Landorus-T with U-turn. Clefable is a strong utility option, providing Knock Off and Stealth Rock support while threatening Steel-types such as Ferrothorn with Flamethrower. Azumarill is also a good teammate for Tapu Fini, as it can remove items from foes like Tornadus-T and Thundurus-T, making them prone to Stealth Rock wearing them down. In addition, it is a physical wallbreaker that can take on Victini, Galarian Slowking, and Steel- and Poison-types for the team.

Tapu Fini can also run a set consisting of Calm Mind, Iron Defense, Draining Kiss, and Stored Power. This set can surprise offensive teams that don't run phazing, like Dragon teams, and decimates Ground teams that forgo Clear Smog on Gastrodon. However, this set is prone to Haze from Mantine and Toxapex due to the lack of Taunt.

Taking advantage of Tapu Fini's unique movepool and high defensive stats, this set is a powerful setup sweeper in the Monotype metagame. Scald is used to hit Steel- and Poison-types such as Corviknight and Nidoking, as well as threaten to burn incoming physical attackers that would otherwise pose a threat such as Bisharp. Draining Kiss is used to allow Tapu Fini to hit Dragon-types like Dragapult and Hydreigon super effectively, while also offering a way for Tapu Fini to regain health. Taunt allows Tapu Fini to thwart Haze attempts from foes like Toxapex and Mantine. It also prevents foes like Bisharp from setting up alongside Tapu Fini. Substitute can be used over Taunt (if youre mentioning it here, id put it as a slash in the set/ask mods if they want it in oo) to prevent foes like Toxic Victini from statusing it once Misty Terrain runs out. The given EV spread allows Tapu Fini to survive a Power Whip from Choice Scarf Zarude when at full health while also having a good chance (i would be more specific as to how you beat it @ +1 if you can make it concise) to beat SubRoost Kyurem at +1 Special Defence. 12 Speed EVs (set shows 68 speed evs) are used to allow it to outspeed an uninvested Rotom-W. Leftovers provide Tapu Fini with reliable recovery, which is important for setting up (i probably wouldnt really explain lefties, self-explanatory and kind of fluff).

Klefki is a superb teammate for Tapu Fini, as not only does it set screens to allow Tapu Fini to setup easier but it also functions as an immunity to Poison-type attacks. Tapu Bulu is also a great teammate for Tapu Fini, as it can deal with Toxapex and Mantine, both of which cause trouble for Tapu Fini. Tapu Bulu can also deal with troublesome Steel- and Poison-types such as Special Defensive Heatran and Galarian Slowking with High Horsepower. Tapu Lele is another solid option, as it threatens Poison- and Water-types such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Mantine with Psychic and Thunderbolt respectively. Tapu Koko is another good teammate for threatening Water-types, as well as bringing Tapu Fini in against foes such as Landorus-T and Kingdra with U-turn (assuming you pivot move on their swap? cant volt on lando and tbh kingdra isnt gonna hard into koko, this is worded kinda odd). Clefable is also a decent teammate is a strong utility option, providing Knock Off and Stealth Rock support as well as threatening Steel-types such as Ferrothorn with Flamethrower.

Taking advantage of Tapu Fini's unique movepool (its not unique, I think part of Fini's success is due to Misty terrain and its unique typing [neutral to steel + Water is a good typing]) and high defensive stats, this set is a powerful setup sweeper in the Monotype metagame (Can you tell which types Fini poses a threat to?). Scald is used to hit Steel- and Poison-types such as Corviknight and Nidoking, as well as threaten to burn incoming physical attackers that would otherwise pose a threat such as Bisharp (Misty Terrain prevents Bisharp from being burned, unless its floating w/ balloon. Change this example). Draining Kiss is used to allow Tapu Fini to hit Dragon-types like Dragapult and Hydreigon super effectively, while also offering a way for Tapu Fini to regain health. Taunt allows Tapu Fini to thwart Haze attempts from foes like Toxapex and Mantine. It also prevents foes like Bisharp from setting up alongside Tapu Fini (Bisharp is faster, so this is a bad example. you could try Reuniclus though, but thats pretty niche. Ig its more on Hazers then). Substitute can be used over Taunt to prevent foes like Toxic Victini from statusing it once Misty Terrain runs out. The given EV spread allows Tapu Fini to have a decent chance at surviving a Power Whip from Choice Scarf Zarude* and SubRoost Kyurem at +1. 68 Speed EVs are used to allow it to outspeed Tyranitar. (More than ttar [Adamant ttar too, not all Ttars], there's also Azumarill, Rotom-W, and base 60 [specs Aegis, for one] in general.)

*252 Atk Zarude Power Whip vs. 252 HP / 24 Def Tapu Fini: 320-380 (93 - 110.4%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
PLS double check the spread before adding that misleading info!

Klefki is a superb teammate for Tapu Fini, as not only does it set screens to allow Tapu Fini to setup easier but it also functions as an immunity to Poison-type attacks. Tapu Bulu is also a great teammate for Tapu Fini, as it can deal with Toxapex and Mantine, both of which cause trouble for Tapu Fini. Tapu Bulu can also deal with troublesome Steel- and Poison-types such as Special Defensive Heatran and Galarian Slowking with High Horsepower. Tapu Lele is another solid option, as it threatens Poison- and Water-types such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Mantine with Psychic and Thunderbolt, respectively. Tapu Koko is another good teammate for threatening Water-types, as well as bringing Tapu Fini in against foes such as Landorus-T and Kingdra (King wont come into Koko. This example is weird) with U-turn. Clefable is also a strong utility option, providing Knock Off and Stealth Rock support as well as threatening Steel-types such as Ferrothorn with Flamethrower.

[SET COMMENTS]
Taking advantage of Tapu Fini's ability, good defensive typing, and high defensive stats, this set is a powerful setup sweeper in the Monotype metagame that poses a threat to many types including Fire, Poison, and Stall Water (Stalll Water is relatively uncommon, and I think you'd still struggle vs the una user + pex). Scald is used to hit deals with Steel- and PoisonGround-types such as Corviknight and Nidoking, as well as threaten to burn incoming physical attackers that would otherwise pose a threat such as Assault Vest Tornadus-T (doesn't even use a Physical move that scares Fini, Maybe Zeraora could be a mon, and Celesteela too[cant break sub if burned]?). Draining Kiss is used to allow Tapu Fini to hits Dragon-types like Dragapult and Hydreigon super effectively, while also offering a way for Tapu Fini to regain health. Taunt allows Tapu Fini to thwart Haze attempts from foes like Toxapex and Mantine. Substitute can be used over Taunt to prevent foes like Toxic Victini from statusing it once Misty Terrain runs out (while also preventing Leech Seed vs steela and prevents mons like Thundy from just tbolting freely, letting you damage the offensive "checks"). It also prevents Clear Smog Gastrodon from clearing Tapu Fini's boosts. The given EV spread allows Tapu Fini to comfortably setup on Dragonite while allowing Tapu Fini to take on Thundurus-T and Kyurem (you still have a shaky matchup against Thund-T, it 2HKOs even if ur +1) at +1. In addition, 8 EVs in Special Defence prevents Gastrodon from breaking its substitute with Earth Power. 56 Speed EVs allows it to creep Adamant Aegislash so Tapu Fini can fish for a Scald burn (Misty terrain prevents burns, its prevents Azu from blindly Belly Drumming on you, outspeeds Mantine so you taunt it, and still outspeeds uninvested Rotom-W [although dis is of a lesser priority]).
*Def EVs eases your matchup vs Celesteela.
*I forgot what 8 Spa is for ;w;

Klefki is a superb teammate for Tapu Fini, as not only does it set screens to allow Tapu Fini to setup easier but it also functions as an immunity to Poison-type attacks. Tapu Bulu is also a great teammate for Tapu Fini, as it can deal with Toxapex and Mantine, both of which cause trouble for Tapu Fini. (Add that these are only problematic if you're using sub sets) Tapu Bulu can also deal with troublesome Steel- and Poison-types such as Special Defensive Heatran Ferrothorn and Galarian Slowking with Close Combat and High Horsepower. Tapu Lele is another solid option, as it threatens Poison- and Water-types such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Mantine with Psychic and Thunderbolt, respectively (also pressures Kyurem and forces damage on Dragalge). Tapu Koko is another good teammate for threatening Water-types, as well as bringing Tapu Fini in against foes such as Landorus-T with U-turn. Clefable is also a strong utility option, providing Knock Off and Stealth Rock support as well as threatening Steel-types such as Ferrothorn with Flamethrower.*Add Azumarill if possible, it Knocks stuff, takes on Victini, and just wears down stuff in general.

Tapu Koko is another good teammate for threatening Water-types(its also a fast mon that can deal with Cinderace), as well as bringing Tapu Fini in against foes such as Landorus-T with U-turn. Clefable is also a strong utility option, providing Knock Off and Stealth Rock support as well as threatening Steel-types such as Ferrothorn with Flamethrower. Azumarill is also a good teammate for Tapu Fini as it can remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes like Tornadus-T and Thundurus-T, making them prone to being worn down by Stealth Rock (generalize this to just item removal in general). In addition, it can take on Victini for the team. (also a Phys wallbreaker that bullies Galarian Slowking + deals with Steel/Poison which Fini cant)

It cheeses Offense teams w/o phazing like Dragon and non-Clear Smog Gastro Ground a bit better) However, this set is prone to getting phazed by Mantine and Toxapex due to the lack of Taunt.

It also lets Tapu Fini safely damage offensive checks such as Thundurus-T, and it prevents Clear Smog Gastrodon from clearing Tapu Fini's boosts. 184 Defense EVs ease the matchup against Celesteela and Dragonite, and 8 Special Attack EVs guarantee Scald 2HKOes Thundurus-T when Tapu Fini is at +1. 8 EVs in Special Defense prevent Gastrodon from breaking its Substitute with Earth Power. 56 Speed EVs let Taunt Tapu Fini outspeed Jolly Azumarill to prevent it from using Belly Drum, as well as Mantine to stop its Haze.

Klefki is a superb teammate for Tapu Fini, as not only does it set dual screens to let Tapu Fini set up more easily, but it is also immune to Poison. It can also set Spikes to assist Tapu Fini's sweep attempts. Tapu Bulu is also a great teammate, as it can deal with Toxapex and Mantine, both of which cause trouble for Tapu Fini. However, the latter is only problematic if using Substitute. Tapu Bulu can also deal with troublesome Steel- and Poison-types, such as Ferrothorn and Galarian Slowking, with Close Combat and High Horsepower. Tapu Lele is another solid option, as it threatens Poison- and Water-types such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Mantine with Psychic and Thunderbolt, all while pressuring Kyurem and drawing in Dragalge to chip it. Tapu Koko threatens Water-types and Cinderace and brings , as well as bringing Tapu Fini in against foes such as Landorus-T with U-turn. Clefable is a strong utility option, providing Knock Off and Stealth Rock support while threatening Steel-types such as Ferrothorn with Flamethrower. Azumarill is also a good teammate for Tapu Fini, as it can remove items from foes like Tornadus-T and Thundurus-T, making them prone to Stealth Rock wearing them down. In addition, it is a physical wallbreaker that can take on Victini, Galarian Slowking, and Steel- and Poison-types (removed space) for the team.

--------
Tapu Fini can also run a set consisting of Calm Mind, Iron Defense, Draining Kiss, and Stored Power. This set can surprise offensive teams that don't run phazing, like Dragon teams, and decimates Ground teams that forgo Clear Smog on Gastrodon. However, this set is prone to Haze from Mantine and Toxapex due to the lack of Taunt.

ivs: 0 Atk (isn't this automatically set in the builder? I don't think it would make much sense for Foul Play users either + common confusion spreaders [that I know of] like Zapdos aren't things you stay in on. Would remove this, but up to you.)

Chose to keep this because while it does default to 0 Attack IVs in the teambuilder, I'm of the opinion that the analysis should reflect the optimal spread, which includes IVs. The uploader can remove this though if they want.
