Tapu Fini

Tapu Fini (Japanese: カプ・レヒレ Kapu-Rehire) is a possible Legendary Pokémon of the Water/Fairy-type. It is one of four Alolan guardian deities, protecting Poni Island.
==Biology==
Tapu Fini is a vaguely swordfish-like specie. It has a black body shaped similarly to a mermaid or fish. It has light blue eyes, white eyelids, and a light blue, fin-like marking around the outer corner of each eye. It has a white T-shaped marking on its forehead and a small, white V-shape on its chest. Around its shoulders are segmented purple rings and its long thin arms have webbed hands with three fingers. Each finger is tipped with a purple claw. On the front of its lower body is a light blue, fin-like projection with three spikes. It also has light blue fins on top of its head that resemble long, flowing hair.
Tapu Fini's main body resides inside a violet shell that resembles a swordfish head when closed. The top half of the shell has a fin with light blue webbing on top and a thin, pointed spine on the front. On each side of the top shell are two C-shaped markings facing each other to form a rough circle. One marking is white and one is light blue, but both are outlined in black. These markings form the "eye" of the swordfish. Along the edges of both shell halves are a series of white triangles with black outlines.
As the guardian of Poni Island, Tapu Fini can freely manipulate water and gains energy from ocean currents. To avoid harm to itself in battle, it shrouds its surroundings in a mysterious fog that sends its opponents into a self-destructive trance. The guardian also unleashes this fog as a test for those who seek the special water it can create, which is said to purify anything it touches. Many humans have attempted this trial, including those with ill intent; disgusted by this history, Tapu Fini does not care much for humans. Despite this, it is willing to help those who prove themselves worthy. As shown in the anime, Tapu Fini has shown to be able to make water clocks out of water and bridge the world of the living with the world of the dead using mist. Long periods of exposure to this mist can trap people within it forever, specifically targeting those who cannot endure the pain of seeing a deceased loved one again.
==Appearances==
===Pokémon Dazzling Platinum===
Tapu Fini is playable in Pokémon Dazzling Platinum, which serves as a special edition of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Tapu Fini can be found inside the Alola Room at Ramanas Park where four pedestals are. An Alola Slate is required to gain access to the portal towards the Guardian Area, which can be obtained by exchanging small or large Mysterious Shards that were dug up at the Grand Underground. Tapu Fini is on Level 70, and only one exists in the whole game. A remixed signature theme music of the Alola Ruins Quartet will play during the battle, negating the background vocals to make the theme sound more appropriate.
