[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, threatening whats it threatening (give specific examples here). Adaptability provides even more power; with Black Glasses, it can achieve feats like OHKOing threats like Dragonite after a Swords Dance. Well-Baked Body allows Kingambit to check Ogerpon-H, Heatran, and Iron Moth, allowing it to set up on them, 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 who can threaten Fighting-types like Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Zamazenta, as these Pokemon can freely switch into Kingambit. As such, teammates 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 in the late game. Entry hazard setters like Great Tusk, Empoleon, and the aforementioned Scream Tail pair well with Kingambit by helping to passively wattles down its checks like Corviknight, physically defensive Manaphy, and Zamazenta.

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, threatening to win games on the spot id mention mons you can set up on without the need of an ability here eg. corv ghold scream tail. Adaptability provides even more power; with Black Glasses, it can achieve feats like OHKOing bulky offensive threats like Dragonite and Scream Tail after a Swords Dance possibly mention having rolls to 2HKO Fluffy Corv after rocks or any other relevant corv calcs you can find, could also mention OHKOing Chien Pao after rocks. Well-Baked Body allows Kingambit to offensively you check them defensively too check Ogerpon-H and Iron Moth, allowing it to set up on them, 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 who can threaten Fighting-types like Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Zamazenta, as these Pokemon can freely switch into Kingambit, as such, teammates like Azelf Latios and Zapdos 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 Azelf Latios running azelf with a mon that likes to click sucker isnt ideal and Zapdos, Roaring Moon, and Barraskewda are strongly recommended to enable Kingambit to clean in the late game.

mention psysurge azelf and deos blocking sucker and entry hazard setters helping chip down would-be roadblocks.

Swords Dance boosts Kingambit's Attack to nuclear levels, threatening to win games on the spot While not wrong, it's not very specific, it would be better to add walls that it can break through with the help from SD.

Credit Evie as well for the check

AMQC Feedback

Overall very good check, all changes were good as well as the comments, adding PsySurge users as a counter is subjective but still a good comment per say, only nitpick I could find is that Scream Tail is already KOed by +0 Iron Head from Adapt Kingambit so it would be awkward to include it there, but otherwise very good check!

Well-Baked Body allows Kingambit to check Ogerpon-H, (add comma) Heatran, and Iron Moth, allowing it to set up on them, and provides an immunity to burn, while Earth Eater turns Dragonite, Roaring Moon, and double dance Garchomp maybe ting-lu is more relevant than dual dance chomp but judgement call here into setup fodder.

Mention Azelf / Deo-s also being annoyances as it can block out sucker punch.
