Best Tapu Fini Raid Counters in 2022

Tapu Fini Raid Counters

Another new Pokemon Go event and raid has arrived, so we prepped up the Best Tapu Fini Raid counters in 2022.

After a change to Mega Evolutions, Niantic has held a variety of events to celebrate the occasion. At the start of the month, Niantic announced the Mega Moment event adding Mega Kangaskhan to Pokemon Go. Following this Mega event, Niantic followed this event up with the Pokemon Air Adventures; during this most recent event, Niantic added Mega Latias and Mega Latios to Pokemon Go.

This marks the first Mega Legendary raid in Pokemon Go. Once the Pokemon Air Adventures event is complete, Pokemon Go will host the Water Festival. In celebration of the Water Festival, Niantic is bringing back the Mega Blastoise raid while introducing the Tapu Fini raid from May 10th to May 25th, 2022.

Now check out our Tapu Fini Raid guide below to learn the best raid counters!

Tapu Fini Raid Counters

Going into the Tapu Fini Raid, trainers will need Pokemon with high attack stats or type effective attacks. Overall, Tapu Fini is one of the easier guardian diety Legendary Pokemon to take down in Pokemon Go with a well-rounded team. This raid can be easily completed by a team of 3 to 5 trainers; a team of 6 to 20 trainers is overkill but makes for a better completionist bonus (More Balls). Using Mega Pokemon such as Mega Venasaur, Mega Beedrill, or Mega Manectric will make trainers’ lives easier. Ultimately, you will want to use Poison, Grass, or Electric-type Pokemon. Be careful, because the raid can be difficult if using fighting, bug, fire, water, ice, dark, or dragon-type Pokemon.

Here are the best counters to overcoming the raid. Some of these recommendations can be substituted out for Pokemon with type advantage or a better move set.
