Calm Mind Tapu Fini's combination of high bulk and Taunt allows it to set up on numerous defensive staples such as Buzzwole, Clefable, and Blissey, making it very adept at punishing the use of common walls and tanks. While Scald cannot burn grounded foes while Misty Terrain is active, it can still annoy and cripple certain foes like Enamorus and Celesteela. While weak, Draining Kiss provides a massive amount of recovery to Tapu Fini, letting it remain healthy as it sweeps through opposing teams. The given EV spread provides enough Special Attack for Tapu Fini to OHKO Excadrill with +1 Scald and lets it outspeed Adamant Bisharp, with the rest maximizing its physical bulk. Tapu Fini best fits on bulky offense and balance teams that want an end-game wincon, supporting wallbreaking teammates such as Iron Hands and Mega Tyranitar. It's overwhelmed by fast offensive foes that can hit it super effectively such as Meowscarada, Iron Moth, and Serperior. Teammates like Skarmory can check Meowscarada while Iron Moth checks opposing Iron Moth and Serperior. Mega Venusaur is another troublesome matchup, and it can be threatened by teammates such as Mega Latias and Latios.
