Description

This set aims to take Annihilape into a powerhouse sweeping mon and take full use of its signature move, that being Rage Fist. Bulk Up as the perfect set up option, increasing both Annihilape's bulk and damage output. Taunt is to shut down any try of stopping Annihilape from setting up involving status like leech seed or the AI's Taunt, but for this slot Substitute is also an option to stop said things. Bear in mind hits towards the Substitute DON'T COUNT towards Rage Fist, so it is counter productive to use this option, although it has better longevity. Drain Punch and Rage Fist as your attacking options, the former increasing the longevity of Annihilape, therefore increasing the power of the latter. The ability depends on situations, vs a sleeping lead Vital Spirit is prefered, in any other situation Defiant is better. For items Leftovers is the better option almost by a landslide, increasing the longevity of Annihilape yet again and pairs nicely with both Substitute and Taunt, but Mental Herb also has its uses, mainly vs Taunt leads which may try to stop how from setting up. And for last, Impish and Careful are natures that increase Annihilape's bulk so it stays longer on the field, which is the gameplan of this entire set. It may be tricky to pull off, but it is satisfying to say the least to unleash +3/+4 250 bp STAB Rage Fists and watch as everything on the enemy team falls like flies.
