Choice Scarf Annihilape is an extremely niche, but potentially very lethal revenge killer while also having decent utility options and a solid offensive typing. Final Gambit is the main draw of Annihilape, allowing it to achieve OHKOs on Zacian, Magearna, and Mewtwo and OHKOing Arceus formes after Stealth Rock. U-turn gives Annihilape momentum for its team, setting it set the pace of the game. Stealth Rock gives Annihilape utility, allowing it to capitalize on the switches it forces against on Pokemon like Giratina and Great Tusk. Close Combat is an option instead to give Annihilape alternative STAB instead of just relying on Rage Fist. Tera Ghost can be used to boost the power of Rage Fist, although it's not recommended to Terastalize Annihilape unless absolutely necessary. Annihilape fits best on teams looking for a revenge killer who specifically takes out threats like Mewtwo and Ogerpon-H to help enable teammates. Pokemon like Chien-Pao, Arceus-Poison, and Palkia-O all appreciate Annihilape taking out their checks with Final Gambit. Pivots like Iron Bundle, Landorus-T, and Solgaleo can create a powerful pivot core with Annihilape, and Annihilape also enjoys switching into pivot moves to boost Rage Fist. Due to Annihilape's ability to bait in Fairy- and Ghost-types like Zacian, Magearna, and Giratina and ability to deal massive damage to them with Rage Fist, Pokemon like Arceus formes and Zamazenta who are enabled with these threats removed are great partners to have.
