[SET COMMENTS]
Kingambit is one of Ubers UU's most threatening wallbreakers and late-game cleaner thanks to its naturally high Attack, decent defenses, an incredible ability in Supreme Overlord, access to Swords Dance, and great offensive typing allowing it to threaten Pokemon like Solgaleo, Mewtwo, Giratina, and Clefable. While Kowtow Cleave is normally preferred to have a more consistent Dark-type STAB move than Sucker Punch, Low Kick is an option to hit threats like Dialga and opposing Kingambit for super effective damage. Sucker Punch is extremely valuable, allowing Kingambit to operate as a revenge killer against Pokemon like Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Choice Scarf Kyurem-W. Black Glasses boosts Kingambit's Dark-type STAB moves, making it a more powerful threat and achieve valuable damage thresholds like OHKOing offensive Arceus formes after a Swords Dance when five teammates have fallen. Alternatively, Leftovers can give Kingambit a slight amount of consistent recovery, and Lum Berry allows it to avoid crippling status from Pokemon like Dialga and Giratina. Tera Flying gives Kingambit a great defensive typing, flipping the matchup against Pokemon like Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Zamazenta-C. 12 Speed EVs allow Kingambit to outspeed paralyzed Arceus formes. Kingambit fits best on offensive and hyper offensive teams looking for a powerful physical wallbreaker and late-game cleaner. Kingambit's inability to deal much damage against bulky Fighting-types like Great Tusk and Zamazenta-C can be problematic, so Pokemon that can take these threats on like Palkia-O, Landorus, Chi-Yu, and Palafin are nice to have. Kingambit can remove Psychic- and Ghost-types like Mewtwo, Giratina, and Gholdengo, which allows partner Pokemon like Zamazenta-C have an easier time attempting a sweep themselves.
