Annihilape - Early VGC Guide by 3x Regional Champion

[@NeilVGC]

Anihilape is such a nice design

[@sukhmeet8665]

The fact that rage fist saves revival blessing hits

[@richardkluin6124]

putting this thing along side a pokemon with beat up genuinely sounds terrifying

[@cethxceth4751]

I'm going to trust the process with the first set with the exception of it's ability I'll go Vital spirit instead of defiant due to all these spore users

[@dracish123456789]

Maushold Anihilape is my main core right now

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Maybe I can use max bulk min speed Annihilape as my anti Trick Room pokemon. Max Speed Final Gambit is fun too tho

[@xGatorchomp28x]

min speed still pretty fast tho (for trick room) :)

[@DeagleBeagle]

You left off one of the best ways to use it with the sub leftovers set or rest chesto/lum set with bulk up drain punch rage fist

[@Prince_Spoopy]

Been looking into Annihilape for a bit now kinda love the idea of the bulk up set. Wonder if Rest is a viable option over protect? With the Steel Tera you basically counter Amoongus since you’d be immune to clear smog and chesto berry helps against spore while you can also wake up from using rest. Seems like burning the dead ape is the best way to counter it, but with rest that’s a different story

[@dracish123456789]

I prefer rock over steel to resist fire

[@pokemontrainerray7972]

Love the first set what do u think about assault vest with that first ev spread

[@Schuster21]

So I was thinking of building my annihilape as max HP Max Defense then the rest of the Ev’s on speed with jolly nature and assault vest. My hopes is making him a super tank to make his rage fist super strong. Thoughts anyone? My only worry is not putting Ev’s in attack.

[@kingjaffa618]

Even with no ev in attack mine has nearly 300 but I went a different tank route I use bulk up for defence and put ev into hp and so def

[@Stoh]

Hey Jamie, would you still keep the 172 SpDef investment now that primals aren’t in series 1? Or would you invest elsewhere?

[@abdullahsali899]

What about lum berry?

[@ThangaLang94]

But why the protect tho please let me know
