What are the best counters against Tapu Fini in Pokémon GO? We’ll show you the answer to that question in this guide on how to quickly defeat the Legendary level 5 raid boss from Alola.
Debuting alongside the Poni Adventure Special Research Story, Tapu Fini is now available in the game’s level 5 raid battles.

The creature’s Shiny variant is not yet available, but you should go on the hunt regardless – after all, your Pokédex wants to be completed.

Tapu Fini, sporting 40,978 competition points (CP) as a level 5 raid boss, is especially vulnerable to Poison, Grass, and Electric-type attacks. Which category you should focus on probably depends on which mega evolution you currently have in reserve – coordinate with your raid partners to set yourself up as effectively as possible.
Four to five trainers around level 40 with appropriate monsters and the support of mega evolutions should easily handle Tapu Fini. After a victory, you may capture the Legendary with a strength between 1,556 and 2,041 CP, with rain and overcast weather making for more powerful specimens.
