[OVERVIEW]
- Bulky attacker that pressures the opposing team throughout the match simply because of the mere threat of its powerful priority Drain Punch.
- While it has great special bulk, the number of special attackers that can hit it super effectively is rather notable.
- Rev is still kinda new to the competitively relevant scene so ima wait a bit to flesh this out better later, might include separate bulky and offensive triage sets later but idk, gotta play more.

Moves
========
-Drain Punch is a very powerful priority move thanks to Triage and usually will heal off its own LO damage plus some extra.
-Shadow Claw is Revenankh's strongest physical Ghost-type STAB and hits some would-be switch ins such as Tapu Lele quite hard.
-Moonlight allows Revenankh to heal off damage before any foe can hit it, thanks to Triage.
-Power Whip provides powerful coverage to hit threats such as Tapu Fini and Mega Swampert in the rain (since Moonlight stalling isn't viable in the rain).
-Bulk Up boosts Revenankh's ability to take hits and increases damage output.
Set Details
========
An Adamant nature coupled with 252 Atk EVs allow Revenankh to hit as hard as possible and makes sure Drain Punch heals as much as possible. 252 HP EVs give optimal bulk [THIS IS A LIE AND IS FILLER- NEED TO DO RESEARCH ON OPTIMAL BULK... in theory having lower HP (with EVs into the defenses instead) so that Drain Punch heals more). Triage allows Drain Punch and Moonlight to have +3 priority, practically guaranteeing that they move first. A Life Orb makes Revenankh's modest attack power much more threatening.
Usage Tips
========
Hit stuff and bam bam bam, heal heal heal.
Team Options
========
Pair it with stuff to deal with Psychic-Types, Fairy-Types, and Flying-Types. To this end, Celesteela can make a good defensive partner. Offensively, Revenankh makes Fighting-type spam plausible and can be partnered with Kerfluffle so that they can chip away at each other's threats.

Other Options
=============
-Maybe bulky triage set if it doesn't get a full one above
-Shed Skin used to do stuff a loooooong time ago.
-Knock Off
-Shadow Sneak
-idk other stuff
Checks and Counters
===================
**Tomohawk**: Totally dicks on Revenankh.
**Fairy-types**: Totally dick on Revenankh.
**Unaware Mons**: Clefable really dicks on Revenankh. If Revenankh is lacking Power Whip, Arghonaut becomes a fearsome check, able to set up on its own while not caring about Revenankh's STABs.
**Flying-types**: Mega Pinsir, Tornadus-T, and Flynium Z Landorus-T (or Salamence/Dragonite) totally dicks on Revenankh.
**Psychic-Types**: While Revenankh can potentially hit many Psychic-types with STAB Shadow Claw, if they are able to come in for free then faster Psychic-types such as Tapu Lele can threaten Revenankh out or easily dispose of him.
