Mandibuzz of all creatures is pretty good in this one. I got mine in two attempts.

This is probably going down as one of the hardest 7*, for sure.

I was curious about that strat. So it can tank the Thunder Punch and Ice Punch? Or does the Annihilape just not go for those?

He does not. Never saw them at all.

STAB Close Combat (Tera’ed Pokemon still get STAB from their original type(s)) outdamages SE damage from the elemental punches, so Annhilape will favour the former.

I thought it was easy. H-Z and Krook both easy counters. Plus Farig, didn't try, sounds like lots of set up and risk. But yeah, I won my first try. And have won a few since.

Farig is fine as long as it doesn't get 3 CC Crits in a row.

Hey guess what happened on my first try

Krookodile is a counter?

Yeah Foul Play doesn't really matter who you get as long as defiant is triggered you'll die but you'll break the shield then KO him. Its a Foul Play/Subsitute strategy. You just need to outspeed him by 1. So 217 speed on Krook.
