Tapu Fini
Tapu Fini is a Water/Fairy type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7.
Tapu Fini is able to create a special water that purifies both mind and body. But it requires that supplicants wishing to obtain the purifying water demonstrate the strength to withstand the tapu's fog.
Since it hates to risk harm to itself during battle, Tapu Fini prefers to create a thick fog that puts opponents in a trance and leads them to destroy themselves.
