Kingambit is a potent Pursuit trapper, utilizing its great bulk to defensively check and trap Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Dragapult, Gholdengo, and Tapu Lele, as well as accrue chip damage on Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Clodsire that are forced out by it. Knock Off allows Kingambit to function as a decent wallbreaker while crippling switch-ins like Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn. Sucker Punch makes up for Kingambit's poor Speed tier, letting it revenge kill faster threats such as Volcarona and Mega Charizard Y, and it can potentially clean late-game if it acquires multiple Supreme Overlord boosts. Tera Dark boosts Kingambit's damage output, letting it threaten post-Tera Dragapult and Gholdengo and clean late-game with Sucker Punch. Defiant is an option to punish Defog attempts from Tornadus-T and Gliscor and punish Intimidate from Landorus-T, letting it wallbreak better, but it is less consistent. Black Glasses boosts Kingambit's already threatening STAB Dark-type moves, allowing it to break more easily, while Leftovers gives Kingambit passive recovery, patching up its lack of longevity. The given EV spread allows Kingambit to outspeed Skeledirge to Knock Off, with the rest in bulk in order to take hits from Dragapult and Gholdengo better. Due to its trapping capabilities, partners that appreciate Ghost- and Psychic-types gone such as Zamazenta, Iron Valiant, and Dragapult work really well with it. While its bulk is great, its lack of longevity leaves it easily worn down in the long-term, so having a solid defensive core utilizing Pokemon such as Toxapex, Slowking-G, Gastrodon, and Rotom-W to help it check threats is key. Entry hazard setters such as Ferrothorn, Mega Diancie, and Garchomp have great synergy with Kingambit, as it removes items from common defensive Pokemon, wearing them down quickly by the entry hazards set. Defiant sets in particular work extremely well, as they are able to punish Defog attempts, threatening to turn Kingambit into a dangerous wallbreaker.

Kingambit is a potent Pursuit trapper in the tier, utilising its great bulk in order to defensively check and trap Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Dragapult, Gholdengo, and Tapu Lele, as well as accruing chip damage on Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Clodsire forced out by it. Knock Off is Kingambit's best Dark STAB, allowing it to function as a decent wallbreaker whilst crippling switch-ins like Ting Lu and Ferrothorn. Sucker Punch makes up for Kingambit's poor Speed tier, letting it revenge kill faster threats, and potentially clean in the late game if it acquires multiple Supreme Overlord Boosts. Dark is the premier Tera type for Kingambit, boosting its damage output in order to properly threaten Espathra and Gholdengo if they Terastallise, as well as boost the damage output of Sucker Punch to clean in the late game. Defiant is an option to punish Defog attempts from Tornadus-T and Tapu Fini there's prob better defog users than tapu fini, letting it wallbreak better, but is less consistent. The given EV spread allows Kingambit to outspeed Skeledirge to Knock Off, with the rest in bulk in order to take hits from Dragapult and Gholdengo better. Due to its trapping capabilities, partners that appreciate Ghost- and Psychic-types gone such as Zamazenta, Iron-Valiant, and your own since u didnt elaborate on the ghost/psychic types this feels odd Dragapult work really well with it. While its bulk is great, its lack of longevity leaves it easily worn down across the course of a match, so having a solid defensive core utilising Pokemon such as Toxapex, Slowking-G, Gastrodon, and Rotom-W are key. this part feels a bit odd cuz u don't mention how those helps gambit, u cld reword this to go through more details methink Entry hazard setters such as Ferrothorn, Mega Diancie, and Garchomp have great synergy with Kingambit as the latter Knocks Off items from common defensive Pokemon, letting them get worn down quickly by the entry hazards set. Defog Defiant (i assume?) sets in particular work extremely well as they are able to punish opposinng Defog attempts, threatening to turn Kingambit into a dangerous wallbreaker.

Kingambit is a potent Pursuit trapper in the tier, utilising use utilising or utilizing; either work tho i would go with the latter EDIT - use utilizing we dont do english spelling its great bulk in order to defensively check and trap Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Dragapult, Gholdengo, and Tapu Lele, as well as accruing chip damage on Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Clodsire that are forced out by it. Knock Off is Kingambit's best Dark STAB, allowing it to function as a decent wallbreaker whilst crippling switch-ins like Ting Lu and Ferrothorn. Sucker Punch makes up for Kingambit's poor Speed tier, letting it revenge kill faster threats such as , and potentially clean in the late game if it acquires multiple Supreme Overlord Boosts. Dark is the premier Tera type for Kingambit, boosting its damage output in order to properly threaten Espathra Dragapult and Gholdengo if they Terastallise, as well as boost the damage output of Sucker Punch to clean in the late game. Defiant is an option to punish Defog attempts from Tornadus-T and Gliscor, and enabling it to punish Intimidate from Landorus-T, letting it wallbreak better, but is can prove to be less consistent. Black Glasses boosts Kingambit's already threatening STAB Dark-type moves, allowing it to break more easily, while Leftovers can gives Kingambit passive recovery, being able to patch up it's lack of longevity. The given EV spread allows Kingambit to outspeed Skeledirge to Knock Off, with the rest in bulk in order to take hits from Dragapult and Gholdengo better. Due to its trapping capabilities, partners that appreciate Ghost- and Psychic-types gone such as Zamazenta, Iron-Valiant, and Dragapult work really well with it. While its bulk is great, its lack of longevity leaves it easily worn down across the course of a match, so having a solid defensive core utilising same case with above Pokemon such as Toxapex, Slowking-G, Gastrodon, and Rotom-W to help it check threats are key. Entry hazard setters such as Ferrothorn, Mega Diancie, and Garchomp have great synergy with Kingambit as the latter Knocks Off items from common defensive Pokemon, letting them get worn down quickly by the entry hazards set.
