[SET COMMENTS]
Annihilape is a potent sweeper and wallbreaker due to the combination of Taunt and Bulk Up allowing it to set up on many passive Pokemon, and its high bulk makes it difficult to revenge kill. Taunt forces slower Pokemon to attack Annihilape, denying status from Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Clodsire, and it also prevents Haze Toxapex and Whirlwind Ting-Lu from removing Bulk Up boosts. Rage Fist's Base Power scaling lets Annihilape break through Pokemon with high Defense or Unaware, such as Alomomola or Skeledirge. Drain Punch hits Dark-types that resist Rage Fist and helps keep Annihilape healthy. The given EV spread maximizes Leftovers recovery and lets Annihilape outspeed Gothitelle, which would otherwise cripple it with Trick; the remaining EVs are put into Special Defense, helping it survive hits from Chi-Yu, Iron Bundle, and Miraidon. Tera Water allows Annihilape to resist Koraidon's Flare Blitz, Iron Bundle's Hydro Pump, and Chi-Yu's Overheat as well as being an overall good defensive typing, with Tera Fairy being an alternative that blocks Dragon-type attacks from Walking Wake, Koraidon, and Miraidon. Koraidon and Miraidon are good partners for their ability to use U-turn to get Annihilape in safely to set up on Pokemon that check them. Powerful wallbreakers that can break through Annihilape's bulk like Miraidon are a big issue, so dual screens support from Grimmsnarl or a strong defensive core is greatly appreciated. Entry hazard removal from Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight is helpful to allow multiple setup attempts per game and remove the especially obnoxious Toxic Spikes. Annihilape is a good spinblocker that deters Defog Corviknight because of Defiant, so entry hazard setters like Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Toxapex, which also have solid defensive utility, are helpful. Annihilape struggles to find opportunities against offensive teams, so speed control like Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf Koraidon is appreciated. Annihilape checks anti-offense threats like Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf Chi-Yu, and it heavily pressures defensive cores, making it a good addition to offensive teams.

Please remember to wait until an AG QC member likes your reservation to post the WIP thread; locking (hopefully) temporarily.

Edit: they approved over discord, unlocking. Just be mindful in the future, thanks!

Annihilape is a potent sweeper, stallbreaker, and wincon in the AG metagame due to its high bulk and its unique STAB coverage. i get what you're going for but calling something a stallbreaker because of its high bulk seems weird, probably reword this entirely and say that its a good wallbreaker because of taunt + bulk up letting it set up on passive mons combined with good bulk which makes it difficult to revenge kill. what i typed is too long so you can phrase it however you can. Rage Fist's scaling lets Annihilape break through Pokemon with high Defense or Unaware. Taunt forces slower Pokemon to attack Annihilape, denying status from Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Clodsire, and prevents Haze Toxapex and Whirlwind Ting-Lu from removing Bulk Up boosts. Drain Punch hits the Normal- and Dark-types there are no relevant normal types in ag unless im missing smth, just mention a few dark mons like tinglu iron treads and chiyu instead that resist Rage Fist, and helps keep Annihilape healthy. change move order like it is in the set preview (bu > taunt > rage fist > dpunch). The given EV spread maximizes Leftovers recovery and outspeeds Gothitelle, which would otherwise cripple Annihilape with Trick, with the rest put into Special Defense helping it survive hits from Iron Bundle and Miraidon. if i missed an important example then feel free to add it. Tera Water allows Annihilape to resist Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Chi-Yu's Overheat, as well as being an overall good defensive typing, with Tera Fairy being an alternative that can block Miraidon's Draco Meteor. worth mentioning wwake and outrage from kora as well. Koraidon is an incredible partner for its ability to use U-turn to get Annihilape in safely to setup on Pokemon like Toxapex and Skeledirge intended to check Koraidon. oh so i think you can also add miraidon using uturn or volt switch (just say pivot atp) because ape also loves setting up on clod tinglu treads, you dont have to give examples of these mons just say smth like 'to use U-turn to get Annihilape in safely and setup on Pokemon that check them.' Powerful wallbreakers that can break through Annihilape's bulk like Miraidon are a big issue, so dual screens support from Grimmsnarl or a strong defensive core is greatly appreciated, so Pokemon like Toxapex and Clodsire are good partners. you already talk about these mons later. Entry hazard removal from Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight is helpful to allow multiple setup attempts per game, as well as removing especially obnoxious Toxic Spikes. Annihilape is a good spinblocker that can also deter Defog Corviknight because of Defiant, so Spikes from Ting-Lu and Clodsire, as well as Stealth Rock from Great Tusk and Iron Treads can be so entry hazard setters like Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Great Tusk, Iron Treads and Toxapex which also have solid defensive utility are helpful. Annihilape struggles to find opportunities against offensive teams, so speed control like Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf Koraidon is appreciated.

Annihilape is a potent sweeper and wallbreaker due to the combination of Taunt and Bulk Up allowing it to set up on many passive Pokemon, and its high bulk makes making it difficult to revenge kill. Taunt forces slower Pokemon to attack Annihilape; (comma -> semicolon) denying status from Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Clodsire; (comma -> semicolon) and prevents preventing Haze Toxapex and Whirlwind Ting-Lu from removing Bulk Up boosts. Mention how Taunt denies recovery? Rage Fist's scaling lets Annihilape break through Pokemon with high Defense or Unaware. Drain Punch hits Dark-types that resist Rage Fist, (remove comma) and helps keep Annihilape healthy. The given EV spread maximizes Leftovers recovery and lets Annihilape outspeeds outspeed Gothitelle, which would otherwise cripple Annihilape it with Trick, with the rest put into Special Defense, helping it survive hits from Chi-Yu, Iron Bundle, and Miraidon. Tera Water allows Annihilape to resist Koraidon's Flare Blitz, Iron Bundle's Hydro Pump and Chi-Yu's Overheat, as well as being an overall good defensive typing, with Tera Fairy being an alternative that can block blocks Dragon-type attacks from Walking Wake, Koraidon, and Miraidon.

Annihilape is a good spinblocker that deters Defog Corviknight because of Defiant, so entry hazard setters like Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Great Tusk, Iron Treads, (add comma) and Toxapex which also have solid defensive utility are helpful. Annihilape struggles to find opportunities against offensive teams, so speed control like Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf Koraidon is appreciated. Mention how Annihilape can give offensive teams an answer to anti-offense Pokemon like Iron Bundle?

Annihilape is a potent sweeper and wallbreaker due to the combination of Taunt and Bulk Up allowing it to set up on many passive Pokemon, and its high bulk making makes it difficult to revenge kill. Taunt forces slower Pokemon to attack Annihilape;, (semi-colon to comma) denying status from Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Clodsire;, (semi-colon to comma) and preventing it also prevents Haze Toxapex and Whirlwind Ting-Lu from removing Bulk Up boosts.

The given EV spread maximizes Leftovers recovery and lets Annihilape outspeed Gothitelle, which would otherwise cripple it with Trick, with the rest ; the remaining EVs are put into Special Defense, helping it survive hits from Chi-Yu, Iron Bundle, and Miraidon.

Koraidon and Miraidon are good partners for their ability to use U-turn to get Annihilape in safely to set up space in "set up" on Pokemon that check them. Powerful wallbreakers that can break through Annihilape's bulk like Miraidon are a big issue, so dual screens support from Grimmsnarl or a strong defensive core is greatly appreciated. Entry hazard removal from Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight is helpful to allow multiple setup attempts per game, as well as removing and remove the especially obnoxious Toxic Spikes.
