Pokemon GO Tapu Fini Best Movesets
Click to enlargeTapu Fini is not the best Pokemon for PvE, and it's not going to radically shake up the PvP meta. However, it's still a powerful Legendary that will do pretty well in the Ultra League, and it can find use elsewhere from time to time.
For both PvE and PvP, Tapu Fini will do well with Water Gun as a fast move. Hidden Power is subpar, so opt for the former in basically every situation.
As for charged moves, Tapu Fini has a handful of choices. Overall, Surf and Moonblast will be its best choices, especially in PvP. Ice Beam can make for an okay coverage move, but it still doesn't measure up to Moonblast or Surf. Tapu Fini also receives the Same-Type Attack Bonus for Surf and Moonblast.
