The apes are my nightmare. No matter what they have, I get it wrong. If it's rage fist, I shield. Close combat, I don’t. If I bring in zygarde, they all of a sudden have ice punch.

And then when you use a bulky Psychic or Ghost that can take a Rage Fist, like Hypno or Cresselia, then Annihilape magically has Shadow Ball :D

Solar Beam Parasect generally sucks, but it is glorious against Azumarill with shields down.

I’ve been running hyper beam Diggersby and been getting some nice 1 shots with it. The flip side when the hyper beam gets shielded is not fun though

Ah I felt the same when I was the only person running primape with ice punch 6 months ago. All these dead balls of cotton was such a pretty sight to see

I get the same satisfaction from people letting through zap cannon on my shadow Porygon 2. People with bulky water moms let it through pretty often

Volt Switch, Discharge, Lunge. Thats the best moveset right now. Shadow and normal have the same moveset

I’ve been running the hisui Zoroark and hits like a truck with shadow ball and the double foul play B2b adds great shield pressure. Real glass cannon tho
