ElectricElectric, GrassGrass, and PoisonPoison-type moves are all super effective any of the three work well, so bring whatever you have powered up.

The big thing to avoid: DragonDragon-type moves deal 0.39× damage thanks to Tapu Fini's double resistance. Don't bring Dragonite or Rayquaza here they'll TickleNormal it. FireFire, IceIce, and WaterWater moves are also resisted. Stick strictly to ElectricElectric, GrassGrass, or PoisonPoison! 🚫

✨ Shiny Tapu Fini Worth Hunting?

Shiny Tapu Fini is one of the most visually striking shinies among all four Guardian Deities its usual purple and white body transforms into a sleek black with lighter accents. Easy to spot and absolutely beautiful. 🖤

The Shiny rate from 5-Star Raids is 1 in 20 (5%) excellent odds that mean most active raiders will see at least one in a solid session. If you find one, it's a guaranteed catch swap to Pinap Berry for bonus Candy! 🍬

🤔 Is Tapu Fini Worth Catching?

Honest answer Tapu Fini is an F-Tier WaterWater-type attacker and not recommended for Raid battles at all. Its Defense stat is impressively high but its Attack is too low to compete in PvE content.

Where it truly shines is PvP. Tapu Fini is a B-Tier FairyFairy-type attacker and a genuine threat in both Great and Ultra League. Its bulk lets it survive hits that would knock out most other FairyFairy-types, while Nature's Madness and SurfWater give it solid coverage. In the right team composition, it's tanky, threatening, and hard to deal with.

💡 Skip powering it up for raids entirely but if you play PvP, a good IV Tapu Fini is worth the investment. And with that incredible black shiny on the table, raiding several times is an easy yes regardless! 🌊

Good luck out there may the Sea Deity bless your Premier Balls! 🌊✨
