[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Tapu Fini can outspeed and revenge kill threats like Mega Gyarados and non-Choice Scarf Kartana. While Tapu Fini is traditionally known for other roles, it has a decent offensive presence thanks to its great defensive typing and good bulk, which allow it to check a variety of threats like Mega Lopunny, Heatran, Weavile, and Ash-Greninja to an extent. Misty Surge protects the team from status moves such as Thunder Wave from Clefable and Toxic from Toxapex. Hydro Pump is Tapu Fini's strongest move and chunks Gliscor, Heatran, and Landorus-T. However, Surf is a more reliable option and still does decent damage. Defog allows Tapu Fini to clear entry hazards, but it clears Misty Terrain too. Taunt is an option over Defog to further mess with the defensive Pokemon mentioned, denying them healing or preventing them from setting entry hazards. Hidden Power Fire can also be used to 2HKO Ferrothorn and better revenge kill Kartana. Trick debilitates defensive switch-ins to Tapu Fini such as Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Clefable. The EV spread allows Tapu Fini to survive a +2 Acrobatics from Hawlucha, guarantees an OHKO on Greninja with Moonblast, and still outspeeds +1 Mega Gyarados.

Tapu Fini fits best on more offensive teams, as they appreciate it acting as a defensive switch-in to top threats while also being a respectable revenge killer. Pokemon like Weavile, Mega Lopunny, and Kartana that fear Scald burns from the likes of Toxapex are ideal teammates, since they enjoy Misty Terrain. Steel-types such as Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn, and Heatran that can cover Tapu Fini's weakness to opposing Mega Scizor, Kartana, and Serperior make wonderful teammates. In return, Tapu Fini can remove Ash-Greninja and Mega Lopunny for them. Ground-types like Gliscor and Landorus-T, are amazing partners as they cover Tapu Fini's weakness to Electric and appreciate it switching into Ice- and Water-types like Ash-Greninja and Weavile. Setup sweepers such as Quiver Dance Volcarona, Calm Mind Mega Latias, and Swords Dance Landorus-T appreciate Tapu Fini ruining shared checks such as Blissey and Skarmory via Trick. This Tapu Fini set lacks defensive investment, so it can't check many Pokemon it wants to long-term such as Ash-Greninja and Heatran. Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Garchomp can provide extra insurance against these Pokemon.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

The EV spread can be altered according to what the team needs; Tapu Fini can run maximum Special Attack if the team needs a more solid revenge killer to OHKO Landorus-T, Mega Medicham, and Gliscor, or it can run more Special Defense investment to better check Ash-Greninja and Heatran.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Grass-types and Grass-type Coverage**: Grass-types such as Ferrothorn, Tangrowth, and Kartana can easily swap in on Tapu Fini and force it out with their STAB moves. However, note that the former two hate Trick + Choice Scarf, while the latter has poor special bulk and cannot switch in consistently throughout a game. Several Fire-types such as Mega Charizard Y and Heatran can run Grass-type coverage to break through Tapu Fini.

**Electric types**: Electric-types like Tapu Koko, Magnezone, and Zapdos easily switch in and threaten Tapu Fini, and all but Magnezone can heal off any damage done.

**Residual Damage**: Since Tapu Fini lacks any form of recovery, it is worn down very quickly by entry hazards, especially if it is the team's only form of entry hazard removal. This weakness allows Pokemon it's supposed to check, such as Mega Medicham and Mega Lopunny, to break through.

Tapu Fini is one of the best Pokemon in the metagame Whilst traditonally known for other roles, Tapu Fini makes a decent offensive presence thanks to its great defensive typing and good bulk that allows it to check a variety of threats like Heatran, Mega-Lopunny, Weavile and Ash-Greninja. It also has a fantastic ability in Misty Surge to further support its team from status. Misty Surge continues to support Tapu Fini's teammates and protects them from status. Just re-word this as this is added onto the Tapu Fini analysis, there's not too much of an introduction needed to Fini considering this is 'a set' it CAN run. Choice Scarf allows Tapu Fini to take the role of a revenge killer while still keeping in check the aforementioned Pokemon. Hydro Pump is Tapu Fini’s strongest STAB that chunks Heatran, Gliscor and Landorus-T, however Surf is a reliable option for Tapu Fini as it can reliably 2KO most threats switching in. Moonblast hits the Dragon-Types that resist Hydro Pump Tapu Fini's water type STAB moves such as Garchomp and Kommo-o. Defog allows Tapu Fini to clear the field off hazards, but at the cost of removing its own terrain. Trick cripples defensive switch-ins to Tapu Fini such as Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Blissey and Corviknight. The following EV spread allows Tapu Fini to survive +2 Acrobatics from Hawlucha and guarantee an OHKO on Greninja with Moonblast, while still outspeeding +1 Mega Gyarados.

Tapu Fini fits best on more offensive teams as they appreciate Tapu Fini’s ability to act as a defensive switch-in to the tiers top threats while also being a respectable revenge killer. Pokemon like Weavile, Mega Lopunny and Kartana, that are susceptible to status are ideal teammates. Steel-types such as Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn and Heatran, that can cover Tapu Fini’s weakness to Grass and Poison-type moves are favorable teammates as they can also reliably pressure foes such as Mega-Scizor, Kyurem and Weavile, which threaten Tapu Fini. Ground type like Garchomp and Landorus-T are amazing partners as they cover Tapu Fini’s electric weakness while also appreciating its ability to switch in on the Ice and Water-type moves aimed at them. Set-up sweepers such as Quiver Dance Volcarona have a good defensive synergy with Tapu Fini as well as Mega Latias, and Swords Dance Landorus-T appreciate it ruining shared checks such as Blissey, Toxapex and Corviknight via Trick.

Other Options
=============

Tapu Fini can run Taunt instead of Defog if the team already has a Defogger. It allows Tapu Fini to further ruin Blissey and Toxapex by preventing them from healing. The EV spread can be altered according to what the team needs, it can run max Special Attack if the team needs a more solid revenge killer to OHKO Landorus, Mega Lopunny and Gliscor or run more Special Defense investment to act as a better Greninja and Heatran check.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Grass-types and Grass-type coverage **: Grass-type Pokemon such as Ferrothorn, Tangrowth and Kartana can easily swap in on Tapu Fini and threaten it out with their STAB. But it is to note that the former two hate being tricked a Choice Scarf, while the latter has poor special bulk and cannot switch in consistently throughout a game. Several fire-types such as Mega Charizard-Y, Volcarona and Heatran can opt to run Grass-type coverage to bust break through it.

**Electric types **: Electric-type Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Magnezone and Zapdos easily switch-in on Tapu Fini and heal off the damage bar Magnezone. Also, none of them mind being tricked a Choice Scarf with the exception of Zapdos.

**Residual Chip **: Since Tapu Fini lacks any form of recovery, it could get worn down really fast, especially if Tapu Fini is the only form of hazard removal the team has.

Whilst traditionally known for other roles, it makes a decent offensive presence thanks to its great defensive typing and good bulk that allows it to check a variety of threats like Mega Lopunny, Heatran, Weavile and Ash-Greninja. Tapu Fini is a Pokemon generally known for defensive roles already, what you should focus on is its (reduced) ability to check these threats in addition to the ones it threatens with Choice Scarf. Misty Surge continues to support Tapu Fini's teammates and protects them from status such as Thunder Wave from Clefable and Toxic from Toxapex. Hydro Pump is Tapu Fini’s strongest STAB that chunks Gliscor, Heatran and Landorus-T, however Surf is a reliable option if the accuracy of Hydro Pump is an issue as it still does decent damage. Moonblast hits the Dragon-Types that resist Tapu Fini's water type STAB moves such as Kyurem and Kommo-o.

Trick cripples defensive switch-ins to Tapu Fini such as Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Blissey and Corviknight. Move the Trick sentence to after the HP Fire mention, just to let the set and paragraph flow together better. Taunt is an option over Defog that lets Tapu Fini further mess with the defensive Pokemon mentioned, denying them healing or preventing them from setting entry hazards. Hidden Power Fire can also be used to 2HKO Ferrothorn and better revenge kill Kartana.

Also, none of them mind being tricked a Choice Scarf. This implies that they don’t care about getting a Choice Scarf, which isn’t really true. I would just omit the sentence since it really depends on what sets they are running.

**Residual Chip **: Since Tapu Fini lacks any form of recovery, it could get worn down really fast by entry hazards, especially if Tapu Fini is the only form of hazard removal the team has. If Tapu Fini is sufficiently chipped by hazards, it can also be revenge killed by Pokemon its supposed to check, like Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham.
