EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

- Muddy Water
- Moonblast
- Protect

Tapu Fini is a powerful bulky setup sweeper in National Dex Doubles! Its Water- and Fairy-typing allows it to wall metagame staples like Incineroar, Chien-Pao, and Kommo-o. Tapu Fini runs maximum Defense with a Bold nature to ensure it takes powerful physical attacks like Grassy Glide from Rillaboom and Gyro Ball from Stakataka. Tera Steel allows Tapu Fini to survive Fusion Bolt from Kyurem-B as well as providing resistances to Expanding Force from Deoxys-A, Wood Hammer from Rillaboom, and STAB attacks from Mega Salamence. After a Calm Mind boost, Tapu Fini can OHKO Mega Salamence and Marshadow with Moonblast, as well as Stakataka with Muddy Water. Tapu Fini is a great partner with Rillaboom and Mega Kangaskhan. Rillaboom provides Fake Out and additional healing with its Grassy Terrain, while Mega Kangaskhan also provides Fake Out as well as immediate damage with Seismic Toss. Jirachi is another great partner by providing redirection and healing with Life Dew, allowing Tapu Fini to safely set up Calm Minds. Tapu Fini is also capable of walling common special attackers like Mega Charizard Y, Flutter Mane, and Mega Gardevoir after two Calm Minds.

Tapu Fini is a powerful bulky set up sweeper in National Dex Doubles. It runs maximum defensive bulk with a Bold Nature to ensure it lives powerful physical attacks like Grassy Glide from Rillaboom and Gyro Ball from Stakataka. Tera Steel allows Tapu Fini to survive Wood Hammer from Rillaboom as well as providing resistances to Expanding Force from Deoxys-A, Bolt Strike from Kyurem-B and Mega Salamence's STAB attacks. To account for the significant physical defense investment, Tapu Fini utilizes Calm Mind to increase its offensive power and specially defensive bulk. Muddy Water is Tapu Fini's preferred Water-Type STAB attack for damaging both opponents and Moonblast utilizes its Fairy-type STAB. Protect allows Tapu Fini to regain some health with Leftovers. Tapu Fini is a great partner for various offensive threats, most commonly Stakataka and Mega Kangaskhan, protecting them from status with its Misty Terrain. Jirachi is another great partner providing redirection for Tapu Fini allowing it to safely set up Calm Mind boosts. Tapu Fini is also capable of walling powerful special attackers such as Flutter Mane with its high natural special bulk bolstered by Calm Mind. this point is a little questionable as currently written since a specs flutter can definitely outdamage fini before it calm minds up. i would moreso point that out after two calm minds it walls out common special attackers like zardy, flutter, mega garde

content here is good but this does feel a little brief so consider the following as additional points:
-typing: fini naturally walls chiyu/incineroar, chienpao, and kommo-o, while fairy/water coverage is pretty hard to wall outside of volcanion and amoonguss
-rillaboom as a partner to provide fake out and additional healing
-mega kangaskhan appreciates misty terrain but fini also appreciates fake out and kangaskhan's immediate damage output from seismic toss
-jirachi can also help keep tapu fini healthy with life dew support

would like to look at this one more time before stamping, feel free to send me a discord dm

E: messaged OP on discord, this is approved 1/1

"Tapu Fini uses Calm Mind to increase its offensive power and specially defensive bulk."

replace with "After a Calm Mind boost, Tapu Fini can OHKO Mega Salamence and Marshadow with Moonblast, as well as Stakataka with Muddy Water."
