[SET COMMENTS]
Kingambit acts as valuable sweeper and cleaner on offensive teams, providing a refreshing blend of offensive and defensive utility in the form of strong priority in Sucker Punch and the option of having a valuable type immunity. Swords Dance boosts Kingambit's Attack to nuclear levels, OHKOing physically defensive Manaphy and threatening to 2HKO Fluffy Corviknight with Kowtwo Cleave after light chip. Adaptability provides even more power; with Black Glasses, it can let Kingambit achieve feats like OHKOing threats such as Dragonite after a Swords Dance. Well-Baked Body allows Kingambit to check and set up on Ogerpon-H, Heatran, and Iron Moth and provides an immunity to burn, while Earth Eater turns Dragonite, Roaring Moon, and double dance Garchomp into setup fodder. The given EV spread allows Kingambit to outspeed RegenVest Manaphy and Jirachi. Kingambit requires teammates that can threaten Fighting-types like Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Zamazenta, as these Pokemon can freely switch into it. As a result, Pokemon like Latios, Zapdos, and Pixilate Scream Tail make for good teammates with their ability to comfortably force them out. Offensive pivots that can break holes in the opposing team like the aforementioned Latios and Zapdos, Roaring Moon, and Barraskewda are strongly recommended to enable Kingambit to clean late-game. Entry hazard setters like Great Tusk, Empoleon, and the aforementioned Scream Tail pair well with Kingambit by helping to passively wittle down its checks like Corviknight, physically defensive Manaphy, and Zamazenta.
