Tapu Fini (Japanese: カプ・レヒレ Kapu-Rehire) is a dual-type Water/Fairy Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is the guardian deity of Poni Island, with Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, and Tapu Bulu being the deities of the other islands.

Biology

Tapu Fini has a black torso and light blue hair. It has a white headband-like marking on its head and a white v on its chest. To the sides of this V mark are two violet shell-like extensions from which protrude two arms with three fingers, separated in a way that would befit webbed arms such as those seen in Golduck. It has a fin at the lower front and does not appear to have legs, but an oval shaped platform of sorts on which it stands. Its eyes have light blue eyeshadow-like marks and are light cyan with white eyebrows of sorts. Its shell is purple with a fin on top and a horn—when closed, this shell resembles a swordfish.

Tapu Fini is the guardian of Poni Island. It does not care much for humans, but is willing to help those who prove themselves worthy. It can create a thick fog that puts its opponents into a self-destructive trance; it uses this fog both to defend itself and as a test for people who seek its aid.[1] It is able to create water that is said to purify anything it touches.

Trivia

Origin

Tapu Fini's appearance when it closes its shell resembles a swordfish or a marlin. When its shell is open, Tapu Fini resembles a mermaid or Siren. It may also be inspired by Kanaloa, one of the four major Hawaiian gods and god of the ocean. Kanaloa's association with the underworld may inspire the Ruins of Hope, Tapu Fini's shrine, said to be where "life ends its journey".

Name origin

Tapu Fini may be a combination of tapu (Hawaiian for sacred or holy) and fin.

Kapu-Rehire may be a combination of kapu (Hawaiian for sacred or holy) and 鰭 hire (fin).
