Defiant	・ Rage Fist ・ Drain Punch ・ Bulk Up ・ Screech
Held Item
Shell Bell

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.

Held Item
Throat Spray

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.

This Heat Rotom build is specially designed to counter Iron Treads.
