[SET COMMENTS]
Annihilape is a decent setup sweeper thanks to its good Attack and defensive stats, incredible STAB combination, and incredible signature move in Rage Fist. Taunt is important to shut down walls like Quagsire and Solgaleo that would status or phaze Annihilape. Tera Water gives Annihilape a valuable defensive typing, allowing it to set up on Pokemon like Chi-Yu and Palafin. Tera Fire is an option to provide the ability to set up on Pokemon like Kyurem-W and the aforementioned Chi-Yu and a valuable immunity to Will-O-Wisp, although it comes at the cost of a Stealth Rock weakness. Tera Fairy makes Annihilape immune to Dragon-type attacks, notably allowing it to not get phazed by Dragon Tail from Pokemon like Giratina and Garchomp. Annihilape generally fits on teams looking for a bulky wincon or stallbreaker. Annihilape can struggle against Pokemon like Palkia-O, Arceus-Dark, and Giratina that can cripple it with status, so Pokemon that can take these threats on like Solgaleo and Magearna can be nice to have. If Annihilape is used on hyper offense teams, dual screens support from Alolan Ninetales, Regieleki, and Deoxys-S to help it safely set up can be nice to have.
