Everything else we know about Tapu Fini
Tapu Fini makes its home on Poni Island and is one of the four guardian deities for the Alola region. The other deities - Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu - made their debut in Pokémon Go before Tapu Fini, making it the last Land Spirit Pokémon to be released into the game.
Tapu Fini’s design appears to take inspiration from two very different creatures - it’s physical body resembles a mermaid, while its shell, especially the horn, brings to mind both a swordfish and a marlin.
The name - Tapu Fini - is a combination of the Hawaiian word for sacred or holy - tapu - and fin, which could be derived from either finish or final. If this is the case, then it could be a reference to how Poni Island, the island Tapu Fini protects, is the last island in the island challenge in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Good luck catching Tapu Fini in Pokémon Go!
