Calm Mind Tapu Fini acts as a threatening wincon and defensive piece, being able to answer common offensive threats such as Zamazenta, Urshifu-R and Weavile with ease. It can also leverage its ability, Misty Surge, very well, allowing it and its teammates to setup or pivot without fearing status. Draining Kiss, when coupled with Calm Mind, can turn Tapu Lele Fini into a dangerous wincon, being able to damage and recover health against foes such as Alomomola and Slowbro. Taunt is used to deny recovery from foes such as Toxapex while also denying Galarian Slowking and Slowbro from switching out, all on top of denying Ferrothorns Leech Seed and Toxic from the aforementioned Toxapex and Alomomola after Misty Terrain has ended. 192 Speed EVs are used in order to outspeed max speed Modest Heatran. Leftovers is the item of choice in order to improve its longevity across a game, making up for its lack of reliable recovery.
Calm Mind Tapu Fini firs primarily on bulky offense teams, where its role as a bulky wincon and switchin against Dark- and Fighting-types is appreciated. Teammates such as Gholdengo and Pecharunt that struggle with Dark-types like Weavile and Hisuian Samurott therefore appreciate Tapu Fini's defensive capabilities, with both in return providing a switch in against Grass-types such as Rillaboom and Serperior. Other good partners include Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Heatran, both of who provide another Grass-type resist, with the former being able to answer Ogerpon-W decently well, as well as a Steel-type resistance against opposing Mega Scizor and Melmetal . In return Tapu Fini provides a Fighting-type resistance against foes such as Zamazenta and Urshifu-R. Tapu Fini also often finds breaking down Steel-types difficult, meaning teammates such as your own Zamazenta, or Fire-types such as Volcarona are greatly appreciated. In exchange Tapu Fini can switch in on and find setup opportunities against Water-types such as Toxapex and Slowbro who could otherwise prove troublesome. Tapu Fini struggles to break through Assault Vest Alomola, making teammates like Ogerpon-W who can prevent it from gaining momentum and immediately threaten it with Power Whip excellent partners. In exchange Tapu Fini can threaten Dragon-types like Dragonite that would otherwise be able to set up on Ogerpon-W. Another problem Tapu Fini can have is against Electric-types such as Tapu Koko and Raging Bolt, meaning Ground-types such as Ting Lu and specially defensive Gliscor are excellent partners, with Tapu Fini in return providing an excellent Water-type resist against Urshifu-R and Scald Toxapex, neither of which they would want to stay in against. Tapu Fini is able to break through common Fighting-types such as Zamazenta and Great Tusk as well as Dark-types like Hisuian Samurott, meaning Dark-types such as your own Hisuian Samurott and Kingambit enjoy Tapu Finis presence. As well as this Tapu Finis Misty Terrain makes them less vulnerable to Burns from foes such as Toxapex and Moltres as well as Static from Zapdos. In exchange these Dark-types can muscle their way through Pokemon such as Galarian Slowking and Slowbro which Tapu Fini can otherwise struggle with. Fighting-types like Zamazenta, Urshifu-R and Mega Lopunny who can break through Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Kartana also make good teammates, with Tapu Fini in return providing a soft check against foes such as Dragonite.
