The main draw of this build is Annihilape's Defiant Ability, which gives it an attack when one of its stats get lowered. Annihilape also has immunity to Fighting-type moves, making it effective against Great Tusk, and its Fighting-type also gives it an edge over Iron Treads' Steel type.

Skeledirge's Ghost and Fire typing gives it immunity to Great Tusk's Fighting STAB moves, and resistance to Iron Treads' STAB Steel moves. Despite being weak to Ground-type attacks, Skeledirge's bulk along with healing from Slack Off should make up for it.

The best ability for Heat Rotom in Tera Raid Battles is Levitate. This is Rotom's only ability, but works great for Heat Rotom since it should normally be 4x weak to Ground.
