Best Tapu Fini Counters For Pokemon GO Raids: Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Throughout the months of March and April, Pokemon GO has featured each one of the Island Guardians from Pokemon Sun & Moon, and now it’s Tapu Fini’s turn. Starting in May, players can take on Tapu Fini in 5-star Pokemon GO Raids. Here is how to beat it!

Tapu Fini Weakness & Type Effectiveness

Tapu Fini is a Water/Fairy-type Pokemon, so it is weak to Poison, Grass, and Electric-type attacks. That said, Tapu Fini has four different move types it can bring to battle: Water, Fighting, Fairy, and Ice. This means Grass-type Pokemon could be susceptible to Super Effective attacks if Tapu Fini uses Ice Beam as its charged attack.

Pokemon	Type	Vulnerable To	Strong Against	Resistant To
Tapu Fini	Water/Fairy	Poison Grass Electric	Fire Ground Rock Flying Dragon Normal Ice Dark Steel Fighting	Fighting Bug Dark Fire Water Ice

Tapu Fini can know Water Gun, Hidden Power, Ice Beam, and Moonblast, leaving itself vulnerable to most of its weaknesses. There’s only a 1/4 chance that Tapu Fini will bring Ice Beam, which is safe enough for players to risk bringing Grass-type Pokemon. There’s also a 1/4 chance that Tapu Fini brings two Water-type moves to play, which works in a trainer’s favor if they bring a Grass-type.

However, you can’t go wrong with strong Electric or Poison-type Pokemon.
