Physical Sweeper Anorith (Swift Swim)
Anorith excels as pretty popular Physical Sweeper during single battles. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with heavy-hitting physical attacks. Life Orb boosts the power of Anorith's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. The Shell Bell item option is to help Anorith recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Swift Swim, Anorith's speed is doubled during rainy weather.
◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil). ◆ Slash is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (high critical hit ratio). ◆ X-Scissor is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Bug-type move that deals a substantial amount of damage. ◆ Bug Bite is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Bug-type move (Anorith steals and eats the target's berry). ◆ Rock Slide is a physical STAB-boosted 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to make the foes flinch). ◆ Rock Tomb is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Rock-type move (100% chance to lower the target's speed by 1 stage). ◆ Knock Off is a physical 65-base power Dark-type move (1.5x damage if foe holds an item; Note: This will also remove that item).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
