PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Counter and Close Combat is easily the best moveset that Annihilape can use on offense.
  • Shadow Ball is a great move, but Annihilape has no Fast Move to capitalize on it.
  • Low Kick, Low Sweep, Night Slash, and Ice Punch are all pretty bad for Annihilape.... and objectively mediocre at best.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Counter is outright better than Low Kick once again.
  • Close Combat takes far too long to use and makes Annihilape easy to wall by anything that resists Fighting Type moves.
  • Low Sweep comes out frequently, but it's another move that can leave Annihilape easy to wall.
  • Night Slash has counter-coverage some of against Annihilape's counters and comes out frequently, making it a prime choice for defense.
  • Ice Punch has a chance to fire once against Rayquaza and Mega Rayquaza, which hardly even view Annihilape as a speed-bump. It's also got good coverage against a number of common gym-cleaners.
  • Shadow Ball is fairly easy to dodge, but it also boasts perfect neutral coverage alongside Counter, making it very much worth considering.

PVE Overview

Pokemon is all about love and partnership with our Pokemon; growing and learning together while going on an adventure. It's the beautiful story of forging bonds, working together, and getting a wild and highly aggressive pig-ape so angry that it literally dies.

When evolving, Primape becomes Annihilape and gains one of the absolute best offensive dual-typing in the game; Fighting and Ghost. This is a typing that can hit everything in Pokemon Go for at least neutral damage, and has the same record in the main series minus a handful of Pokemon that use shenanigans to escape this horrible fate. However, perfect neutral STAB coverage doesn't really help much when you lack a move that reflects one of your two types, and it also falls behind given the fact that Annihilape doesn't have a great Attack stat, and also doesn't have a single good move to its name minus Counter. 

Honestly, at this point Annihilape's only hope for the future is that its Ghost Type Signature Move, Rage Fist, is given really good stats when it drops, and that Annihilape also gets a good Ghost Type Fast Move, like Shadow Claw (which it can learn in the main series). That scenario aside, it's probably best to let Annihilape rest in peace... angry, angry peace.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Counter + Shadow Ball & Close Combat or Night Slash or Ice Punch

Counter remains one of the best Fast Moves in Pokemon Go PvP, hitting hard and generating a lot of energy. This makes it the ideal pick, and has perfect neutral coverage when combined with Shadow Ball. This combo also provides great damage, and can be paired with Ice Punch for valuable coverage, Close Combat for a relatively low energy cost nuke, or Night Slash for shield baiting and buff fishing.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 5 / 5 

Despite being fairly glassy, Annihilape has a tremendous offensive presence backed up by a STAB combo that no Pokemon in the game can resist. It hits hard, hits often, and can beat down most opponents in short order.

Ultra League: 4 / 5

Annihilape retains its great offensive presence that grants it some key wins against a few big name Ultra League Pokemon, but it also has some key losses, meaning it's going to need to be on the right team to keep up momentum.

Master League: 3.5 / 5

Annihilape suffers a bit in the Master League due to its relatively low stats  when compared to the big-names of the league, but it still has a number of key victories that make it very much worthy of consideration depending on the team.
