It’s best to focus on making Tapu Fini a Water-type attacker.

Tapu Fini best moveset in Pokemon Go

The best moveset for Tapu Fini in Pokemon Go is Water Gun as a Fast Move and Surf as a Charged Move.

There are only two Fast Moves to choose between, and Water Gun is probably your best option as it will always benefit from STAB. Hidden Power is too unpredictable as it can end up being any attack type.

Pair this with Surf as a Charged Move and you’ve got a pretty good duo of attacks that can deal some huge Water-type damage. If you can afford a secondary Charged Move, go with Moonblast for extra coverage.

Is Tapu Fini any good in Pokemon Go?

The short answer is that Tapu Fini serves as more of a Pokedex filler than anything else, but it does have some potential in the Pokemon Go Battle League.

Let’s start with the positives: Tapu Fini has really good bulk, which helps it last longer on the battlefield. A Water/Fairy typing also gives it several resistances, including a double resistance to Dragon-type attacks.

Tapu Fini does show some potential in the Great League and Ultra League, where it can fill a similar role as fellow Water/Fairy-type Azumarill. You’ll probably want to give it a miss in the Master League though.

As it’s got such a defensive stat distribution, Tapu Fini won’t be worth using in Raid Battles.

Two things holding Tapu Fini back in PvP are its low Attack stat and the lack of a decent Fast Move. This could always change if Tapu Fini gets access to new moves in the future, but that seems unlikely.
