Tapu Fini is a great bulky Water-type due to its support options that can effectively deal with threats such as Kyogre and Calyrex-S. Moonblast is its main STAB move, hitting Urshifu-R while being able to lower Calyrex-S's and Xerneas's Special Attack. Nature's Madness patches Tapu Fini's lack of offensive presence, being able to damage Zacian-C and Xerneas for half of their remaining HP. Icy Wind aids slower allies such as Landorus in outspeeding and threatening Zacian-C, while Heal Pulse is great for healing Tapu Fini's partners and punishing defensive play. Misty Surge enables Tapu Fini to soft check Pokemon that rely on status conditions such as Amoonguss, Volcarona and Zapdos. Wiki Berry paired with Tapu Fini's EV spread allows it to take many hits such as +1 Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade, +2 Xerneas's Moonblast, +1 Nihilego's Sludge Bomb, and Rillaboom's Grassy Glide in Grassy Terrain.
For restricted partners, Zacian-C, Groudon, and Necrozma-DM are great allies, being able to check Rillaboom easily while Tapu Fini threatens Urshifu-R and protects them from burns. As for non-restricted Pokemon, Incineroar and Entei are great to quickly check Grass-types like Tsareena and Rillaboom for Tapu Fini, while it checks Urshifu-R and Kyogre in return. Landorus is another good option, being able to OHKO Nihilego, Zacian-C, and Stakataka. Rillaboom's and Incineroar's Fake Out pressure offers Tapu Fini opportunities to easily damage opposing threats, leaving them in range for a potential Grassy Glide or Flare Blitz.
