Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Beedrill, Mega Pinsir, Mega Heracross, Mega Tyranitar, Mega Altaria, Mega Ampharos, Mega Manectric, Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Medicham, and Mega Garchomp. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Tapu Fini, who will have a one-day-only stint as the Five-Star 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
- Regieleki: Lock-On, Thunder Cage
- Shadow Regigigas: Poison-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
- Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
- Shadow Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Eternatus: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Mega Beedrill: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Therian Forme Thundrus: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm
- Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Discharge
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
- Regigigas: Poison-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
- Naganadel: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Crowned Shield Zacian: Metal Claw, Behemoth Blade
- Dusk Mane Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Sunsteel Strike
- Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Moongeist Beam
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Tapu Fini can be defeated by three trainers. 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.
