Finizen is a Water-type Pokémon and the series’ first dolphin-like Pokémon. Because of its appearance, many players might be keen to add it to their given that it’s the first dolphin in the series and has a unique evolution method.

Tracking down Finizen will be fairly easy once you arrive at the specific areas it spawns, but you need to reach them in Paldea. Finizen has a good chance to appear anywhere there is an ocean, which means you need to reach the continent’s borders to track down this Pokémon. You will normally see it swimming in the water, and you can throw your Pokémon at it to try and catch it. You can explore near the starting zone or go further away from these locations to explore the island before acquiring them.

Finizen is a standard Water-type Pokémon. It will be weak against Electric and Grass-type moves, but it is resistant against Fire, other Water-types, Ice, and Steel-type moves. It may not be the most exciting Pokémon to catch in the Paldea region, but it’s one to add to your Pokédex entries to complete the game.
