Foils have to meet each other to count. Even then, Annihilape and Swampert being counterparts to each other is quite a stretch.


* DiscOneNuke: As of ''Sun/Moon'', Mankey learns Cross Chop, one of the strongest Fighting-type attacks without a major drawback[[note]]aside from [[PowerfulButInaccurate shaky accuracy]][[/note]], at level ''22''. Annihilape is also disturbingly powerful for a mon that can be obtained as early as level 36, having stats that rival starters and a SignatureMove that can bust down the sturdiest walls with ease.

** Despite not being a starter itself, to the Mudkip line, especially Annihilape and Swampert. Both have amazing typing, great stats (Annihilape and Swampert even share the same BST) and an incredable movepool, both natural and TM based. However, Swampert slightly better defensive stats and typing (only being weak to grass, and uncommon attacking type), while Annihilape is better suited for offense (Ghost is only defensively handled by Normal and Dark types, which Fighting destroys).



* ZeroEffortBoss:
** A trio of Mankey serve as the third-to-last boss fight in ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam''. They are completely identical to the already underleveled regular Mankey enemies you've already fought in the dungeon and deal pitiful damage while most likely dying in one hit. {{Averted}} in the remake, where they are much tougher and more of a proper boss fight, though still much easier than the [[OlympusMons preceding Articuno and following Groudon fights]].
** Utterly [[DefiedTrope defied]] when facing Team Star Leader Eri in ''Scarlet and Violet''; Annihilape is the [[SignatureMon ace]] of the strongest member of Team Star for good reason, and if you are not overleveled or prepared properly, it '''WILL''' get your party wiped.

* {{Foil}}: To the Oddish line, at least in the Kanto games. They are both three-staged Grass/Poison-type families that are version exclusives in ''Red and Blue'' as well as all of their remakes. Bellsprout and Oddish evolve at Level 21 into Weepinbell and Gloom, respectively, then again into Victreebel and Vileplume via a Leaf Stone. Both evolutionary lines possess the same base stat total at each stage. Victreebel is a mixed GlassCannon while Vileplume is a slow MightyGlacier.
