Learn the best strategies and tips for catching the legendary Water/Fairy-type Pokémon Tapu Fini in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, including its weaknesses and abilities.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Tapu Fini is a Level 60 Water/Fairy-type Pokémon.
  2. 2
    Its Misty Surge Ability creates Misty Terrain, weakening Dragon-type moves and preventing status conditions for grounded Pokémon for 5 turns.
  3. 3
    Tapu Fini uses Hydro Pump and Muddy Water for STAB, Aqua Ring for HP recovery, and Nature's Madness to halve opponent's HP.
  4. 4
    To counter Aqua Ring, inflict a burn using Will-O-Wisp.
  5. 5
    A TM for Will-O-Wisp can be obtained west of Diglett's Tunnel in Akala Island.
  6. 6
    Consider using non-Fire-type Pokémon that can learn Will-O-Wisp, such as Gastly, Drifloon, Misdreavus, or their evolved forms, as Fire-types are weak to Tapu Fini.
  7. 7
    Wait for Misty Terrain to expire or remove it yourself before using Will-O-Wisp.
  8. 8
    Will-O-Wisp has an 85% chance to cause a Burn, which cancels out Aqua Ring's healing and aids capture.
  9. 9
    Use Net Balls from the Paniola Town Poké Mart to further improve your odds of catching Tapu Fini.
Tips
  • Resistances to Water-type moves include Water, Grass, and Dragon. However, Grass-types should be cautious of their STAB moves, and Dragon-types cannot use Dragon-type moves effectively due to Tapu Fini's Fairy typing.
  • If impatient, you can overwrite Misty Terrain with your own terrain using another Tapu.
  • A burn from Will-O-Wisp is an efficient way to counter Aqua Ring, as it cancels the healing and makes catching easier.
  • Net Balls are recommended for increasing capture chances.
