a slightly damaged Metagross, Incineroar, and even the all bulky Diancie! Incineroar and Diancie while also retaining its normal defensive utility of disrupting opposing terrain and blocking Sleep from Amoonguss. This set gives Tapu Fini great immediate offensive pressure, as Choice Scarf lets it outspeed pretty much every foe, and can grab a few surprise KOs as it is surprisingly strong, and can heavily distrupt enemies with Trick. Hydro Pump is Fini's main STAB choice, as it deals a lot of damage without having drawbacks. Moonblast can heavily damage foes like Kyurem-Black trying to switch into Hydro Pump, leaving them very low. Ice Beam as coverage suits Tapu Fini perfectly as it needs to hit Amoonguss and Rillaboom, so it will have a way harder time threatening Tapu Fini's teammates.
