Tapu Fini's Role
Tapu Fini sets the stage with Misty Terrain, preventing status conditions such as confusion. Its bulk and supportive moves like Heal Pulse aid in Muk's longevity, making it a formidable tank.
Alolan Muk's Contributions
Muk-Alola thrives alongside Tapu Fini, exploiting Swagger boosts to increase its already high attack. With a Gluttony and Figy Berry set, it becomes a resilient force.
Move Synergy and Coverage
Muk's Knock Off and Gunk Shot paired with Tapu Fini's Muddy Water and Moonblast offer broad coverage. Both Pokémon can handle various threats across the VGC 2017 meta.
Countering Common Threats
This core effectively counters common threats like Marowak-Alola and Kartana. Muk's Dark typing and Fini's Water typing provide necessary defensive and offensive checks.
Strategic Positioning
Positioning is key. Maximize the core's potential by switching Tapu Fini in to set terrain at crucial moments, and pivot Muk to preserve its offensive momentum.
