The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled Might & Mastery, has now begun. This season continues with the focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles, with a focus on Kubfu. For the final month of Might & Mastery, Tier Five Raids will feature Tapu Fini, Tapu Buli, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit, with Shadow Raids featuring Regirock on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Houndoom, Mega Gyrados, Mega Altaria, and Mega Kangaskhan. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Tapu Fini, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Tapu Fini Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Tapu Fini counters as such:
- Mega Sceptile: Bullet Seed, Frenzy Plant
- Mega Gengar: Lick, Sludge Bomb
- Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
- Mega Beedrill: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Shadow Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Discharge
- Mega Manectric: Thunder Fang, Wild Charge
- Mega Venusaur: Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant
- Therian Forme Thundrus: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Tapu Fini with efficiency.
- Zekrom: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt
- Sky Forme Shaymin: Magical Leaf, Grass Knot
- Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip
- Nihilego: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Naganadel: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Roserade: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Moongeist Beam
- Dusk Mane Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Sunsteel Strike
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Tapu Fini can be defeated with three trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have four or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Tapu Fini will have a CP of 1632 in normal weather conditions and 2041 in boosted conditions.
