All three versions of Annihilape can work well together as they all add unique strategies. Annihilape from Paldean Fates can deal up to 350 damage, depending on how many Prizes your opponent has taken. Meanwhile, the one from Destined Rivals deals 280 damage if it takes a mere 20 damage. Finally, Surging Sparks Annihilape can be used in a mutual KO, which can be beneficial if you manage to KO a Pokemon ex.

The plan is to use all three Annihilapes depending on the situation to get KOs or deal massive damage while taking damage themselves.

Here’s the strategy for this deck:

  • Use the different Annihilapes from the three expansions to deal damage to the opponent.
  • Dusknoir is another option that can deal some damage from the Bench at the risk of a KO. However, this powers up Annihilape from Paldean Fates so that its Rage Fist becomes stronger.
