Physiology[]
Being completely different from its pre-evolution, its fur turns ash gray and sticks up while the tips of them turn white. with bits of white hairs floating around it. Its eyes turn red, has dark gray legs and arms and has two broken shackles on each of its legs, but has one cracked shackle on its left arm, however its right arm does not have a shackle.

They are unfettered by the limits of their physical bodies and unleashes their wrathful punches to completely annihilate their opponents. Despite their anger they are incredibly calm in a sense, due to accepting anger as a part of their lives.

Evolution[]

Trivia[]
- Annihilape and Marshadow are the only Fighting/Ghost-type Pokémon.
- Annihilape is the first Kanto-originating cross-generational evolution to not be a regional form.
Origin[]
It appears that Annihilape is based on monkeys from the order of primates, due to the Pokémon's general body structure and behavior.
Due to the Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sun mentioning that Primeape can grow so angry that they die, it is believed that, alongside Onryō from Japanese folklore, is what lead to the creation of Annihilape's design and type.
Annihilape's floating hair is a reference to the Japanese phrase dohatsu shoten, meaning "so angry that one's hair stands on its ends to the high heavens". Dohatsu gains its inspiration from Japanese Buddhist art depictions of ashura, the reincarnation of overly ambitious people and prideful warriors as demigods of immense wrath and neverending strife.
Being in Paldea, it could also be inspired by the Basajun, a hairy, ape-like cryptid from Basque folkolre.
Etymology[]
Annihilape is derived from "annihilate" and "ape".
