Hello, everyone!

Tapu Fini is quite a prominent Pokemon in the VGC18 scene. Despite having dropped in useage recently, it is still the fourth most common Pokemon, and on nearly a third of all teams. With a powerful Water typing and good defenses, Tapu Fini is a 'mon with potential.


 
Set One: Calm Mind

Tapu Fini @ Wiki Berry 
236 HP/4 Def/204 SpA/12 SpD/52 Speed
Modest Nature
Ability: Misty Surge
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
- Protect
- Muddy Water/Scald/Ice Beam
This set takes advantage of Fini's defensive stats and makes sure it has ample attacking power. Already a powerful Pokemon without any boosts, Calm Mind raises Fini's SpA and SpD to make it both bulky and hard hitting. Moonblast is essential, and can be used on various Dragon threats and as STAB. Muddy Water is a great option if you need double-hitting moves, but if you need Water STAB, Scald is what you're looking for. Ice Beam is also an option for Landorus-Therian, one of the meta's biggest threats. 
Set Two: Choice Specs

Tapu Fini @ Choice Specs
108 HP/252 SpA/108 Spe/20 Def
Modest Nature
Ability: Misty Surge
- Moonblast
- Scald 
- Muddy Water/Dazzling Gleam
- Ice Beam
Two STAB coverage moves and the option to go for double-hitting attacks make this a great offensive option.This set is designed to be more of a sweeper than an all-around Pokemon, but its useful nonetheless. Because of Choice Specs, this Tapu Fini is an all-out attacker for high damage. 


Good Matchups:

Incineroar has surpassed Landorus-Therian as the most commonly used Pokemon on the PGL. Due to Fini's excellent typing, it can easily check the John Cena lion.



Hope y'all enjoyed! I will add calcs in the future and update some of the less-elaborated parts. For now, I just wanted the thread published. Enjoy your VGC journey!
