[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to Supreme Overlord, STAB-boosted Sucker Punch acting as vital priority, and its high Attack, Kingambit cements itself as a good late-game cleaner and revenge killer, that offensively checks Arceus and Calyrex-S. Swords Dance-boosted Kowtow Cleave allows Kingambit to 2HKO Toxapex and Landorus-T. Iron head hits Arceus-Fairy and other Tera Fairy Pokemon such as Toxapex and Skeledirge. Dread Plate is the preferred item of choice because it boosts Kingambit's Dark-type moves, allowing Sucker Punch to more effectively clean up late-game. Alternatively, Leftovers provides Kingambit with more longevity throughout the game, allowing it to potentially outlast its checks. 132 Speed EVs allow Kingambit to outspeed Skeledirge. Tera Dark boosts Kingambit's Dark-type moves to horrifying levels, allowing it to OHKO Landorus-T, Eternatus, offensive Arceus-Ground, and Miraidon at +2, and OHKO Toxapex with 1 layer of Spikes at +2. +2 Tera Dark Sucker Punch with 5 allies fainted allows Kingambit to achieve amazing feats, such as OHKOing Extreme Killer Arceus and offensive Arceus-Ground, as well as 2HKOing Koraidon and Zacian-C after 1 layer of Spikes. On the other hand, Tera Flying lets Kingambit set-up against Pokemon such as Ting-Lu, Arceus-Ground, Landorus-T, and Koraidon. Tera Fire makes Kingambit immune to Will-O-Wisp from Skeledirge, Giratina-O, and defensive Arceus formes and gives it a much-needed resistance to attacks like Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Zacian-C's STAB moves. Kingambit struggles with Toxapex, Landorus-T, and defensive Arceus formes, so offensive checks to them such as Arceus-Ground, Calyrex-S, and Miraidon are appreciated. Kingambit also struggles with Koraidon and Arceus-Ground, so checks to them such as Toxapex, Landorus-T, and Ting-Lu are appreciated. Teammates such as Arceus, Koraidon, and Zacian-C weaken physical walls like Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Landorus-T for Kingambit. Arceus in particular shares the burden of checking Calyrex-S alongwith Kingambit. Glimmora as a suicide lead can set up entry hazards, which Kingambit appreciates to break through defensive Arceus formes.

Thanks to it's ability, Supreme Overlord and its high Attack, Kingambit cements itself as a good late game cleaner and revenge killer, while offensively checking Arceus and Calyrex-S. Swords Dance-boosted-Kowtow Cleave allows Kingambit to 2HKO Toxapex, Skeledirge (skeledirge has unaware, ik youre talking about kowtow here but it can be confusing, just mention something else other than dirge), and Landorus-T. Iron head is the main way of hitting through hits Arceus-Fairy and other Tera Fairy Pokemon such as Toxapex and Skeledirge. Sucker Punch gives Kingmbit Kingambit a vital priority, allowing it to move first, <- remove this comma and lets it clean up in an endgame. Dread Plate is the preferred item of choice because it boosts Kingambit's Dark-type moves, <-remove this comma allowing it to effectively break through it's its checks (sd already does this, no? maybe say something about dread plate achieving some benchmarks unboosted, otherwise just reword this sentence). Alternatively, Leftovers provide Kingambit with more longevity throughout the game and recovery, allowing it to potentially outlast its checks. Tera Dark boosts Kingambit's Dark-type moves to respectable levels, allowing it to OHKO Landorus-T, Eternatus, Arceus Ground, and Miraidon at +2, OHKO Toxapex, defensive Arceus-formes with 1 layer of Spikes (mention how +2 tera dark sucker has chances of OHKOing koraidon w 5 fainted teammates after a singular spike). On the other hand, Tera Flying makes Kingambit immune to its ground Ground-type weakness, and gives it a resistance from Koraidon's Low Kick. Tera Fire makes Kingambit immune to Will-O-Wisp, while giving it a much-needed resistance to attacks like Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade STAB moves (you resist both behemoth and play rough). Kingambit struggles with Toxapex and Landorus-T, so offensive checks to them such as Arceus-Ground, Calyrex-S, Miraidon, and Koraidon are appreciated. Kingambit also struggles with Koraidon and Arceus-Ground, so checks to them such as Toxapex, Landorus-T, and Ting-Lu are appreciated. (you should definitely mention offensive teammates as well, not only checks to threats to you. mention zac, korai, arc formes, HO leads w spikes like glimmora, etc. talk about how these offensive teammates break holes for kingambit and viceversa, mention kingambit's useful ghost resist which can let it be a one-time switch into caly)

Thanks to it's ability, Supreme Overlord and high Attack, Kingambit cements itself as a good late game cleaner and revenge killer, while offensively checking Arceus and Calyrex-S. Swords Dance-boosted-Kowtow Cleave allows Kingambit to 2HKO Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Landorus-T. (Swords Dance doesn't really apply to Skeledirge) Iron head is the main way of hitting through Arceus-Fairy and other Tera fairy-types such as Toxapex and Skeledirge. (mention Low Kick as an alternative that hits Ting-Lu and Arceus on teams that have Pokemon like Zacian-C to handle Arceus-Fairy) Sucker Punch gives Kingmbit a vital priority, allowing it to move first, and lets it clean up in an endgame. (you can just mention STAB Sucker Punch in Kingambit's list of traits in the first sentence instead to avoid dex info and repetition) Dread Plate is the preferred item of choice because it boosts Kingambit's Dark-type moves, allowing it to effectively break through it's checks. (any specific calcs it achieves? or just say it lets Kingambit clean up with Sucker Punch more easily or something) Alternatively, Leftovers provide Kingambit with more longevity throughout the game and recovery, allowing it to potentially outlast its checks. (mention that the Speed EVs let Kingambit outspeed Skeledirge) Tera Dark boosts Kingambit's Dark-type moves to respectable levels, allowing it to OHKO Landorus-T, Eternatus, Arceus Ground, (specify offensive Arceus-Ground) and Miraidon at +2, OHKO Toxapex, defensive Arceus-formes with 1 layer of Spikes. (it wouldn't be at +2 vs Landorus-T, and it doesn't OHKO defensive Arceus formes after a layer of Spikes with no fallen teammates. Tera Dark also lets Sucker Punch do crazy damage to Koraidon and Zacian-C with 5 fainted) On the other hand, Tera Flying makes Kingambit immune to its ground weakness, (you could mention that this helps against Pokemon like Landorus-T, Ting-Lu, and Arceus-Ground) and gives it a resistance from Koraidon's Low Kick. (and Zacian-C's Close Combat) Tera Fire makes Kingambit immune to Will-O-Wisp, (you could specify that this helps against defensive Arceus formes, Giratina-O, and Skeledirge) while giving it a much-needed resistance to attacks like Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade. (I assume you meant Play Rough instead) (mention that Kingambit fits on bulky offense/offense/hyper offense teams that can weaken teams enough for Kingambit to sweep late-game and appreciate the extra insurance it gives against Calyrex-S) Kingambit struggles with Toxapex and Landorus-T, so offensive checks to them such as Arceus-Ground, Calyrex-S, Miraidon, and Koraidon are appreciated. (remove Koraidon from this list. you could also mention defensive Arceus formes) Kingambit also struggles with Koraidon and Arceus-Ground, so checks to them such as Toxapex, Landorus-T, and Ting-Lu are appreciated. (you should mention that Pokemon like Arceus, Zacian-C, and Koraidon weaken physically defensive walls for Kingambit, and you should definitely highlight that Arceus also wears down Zacian-C and Koraidon and shares the burden of checking Calyrex-S)
