[SET COMMENTS]
Annihilape finds a good niche in the metagame, as it fares well against Pokemon such as Chi-Yu, Incineroar, and Zamazenta-C. Final Gambit deals immense damage if Annihilape cannot pick up an OHKO. Shadow Claw deals decent damage without needing to be hit like Rage Fist. Coaching has the ability to boost the power of allies like Calyrex-I, while U-turn helps with positioning, chipping Rillaboom in the process. Choice Scarf allows Annihilape to outspeed and deal damage to faster foes such as Calyrex-S, which faints to a Shadow Claw. Tera Grass allows it to ignore Spore and Rage Powder from Amoonguss, which can survive a Final Gambit and support its allies.

Choice Scarf Annihilape struggles against strong priority moves like Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and Rillaboom's Grassy Glide, which weaken Final Gambit. Farigiraf is also an issue, as it is a bulky Pokemon that is immune to Shadow Claw, deals great damage to Annihilape with Psychic, and has enough HP to survive a Final Gambit. Calyrex-I is a great partner for Annihilape, as Annihilape is able to either give it a Coaching boost or remove an annoying or powerful foe to Calyrex-I like Zamazenta-C or Calyrex-S with Final Gambit or Shadow Claw, respectively. In return, Calyrex-I is able to threaten Raging Bolt and Rillaboom for great damage. Smeargle is also a favorable partner, as it can redirect attacks away from Annihilape with Follow Me, allowing for a full-HP Final Gambit.

Annihilape is a strong and threatening Pokemon. Annihilape finds a niche in the current metagame as it (By current meta standards, its not very strong and threatening) fairs well against Pokemon such as Chi-Yu and Incineroar, while also matching up well against Zamazenta-C. Annihilape carries Final Gambit to deal immense damage if not picking up a an OHKO. Shadow Claw is the preferred Ghost-type STAB as it does more damage than Rage Fist (depends on if Annihilape has taken damage or not.), as Annihilape doesn't want to get hit because it weakens Final Gambit. Coaching is a supportive tool, much like it is seen on Choice Scarf Urshifu-R (not necessary, mention how does it boost Pokemon like Calyrex-I). U-turn is a momentum tool which helps with positioning,(Add comma) chipping Rillaboom and getting in partners. Choice Scarf is used as it allows Annihilape to out speed outspeed and deal damage to faster opponents such as Calyrex-Shadow Calyrex-S and Flutter Mane, (almost all Flutter Mane sets are speed booster, so this isn't true) which are proven to be tough opponents, yet drop to a Shadow Claw. (the statement seems confusing and contradicting in nature) Tera Grass allows it to ignore Spore and Rage Powder from Amoonguss, which can take live a Final Gambit and save support its allies.

This set runs into a bit of a roadblock when facing Choice Scarf Annihilape struggles against strong priority moves like Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and Rillaboom's Grassy Glide, which weakens Final Gambit. Farigiraf is also a issue, as a bulky Pokemon which is immune to Shadow Claw, deals great damage, and has enough HP to survive a Final Gambit. Calyrex-Ice Calyrex-I is a great partner for Annihilape as it is able to either give a Coaching boost to Calyrex-Ice Calyrex-I or remove a an annoying or powerful foe (like?) with Final Gambit or Shadow Claw. It is also able to hit Rillaboom and In return, Calyrex-I threatens Raging Bolt and Rillaboom for great damage. for great damage, while threatening Raging Bolt and Tera Fire Rillaboom with High Horsepower. Calyrex-Ice also loves the removal of annoying Calyrex-I also appreciates Final Gambit from Annihilape OHKOing Zamazenta-C, A a daunting matchup. Smeargle is also a favorable partner as it can redirect attacks away from Annihilape with Follow Me, allowing for a max power full HP Final Gambit, or it Smeargle can use Spore and put opponents to sleep.
