AG Kingambit [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

[SET]
name: Setup Sweeper
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Kowtow Cleave
move 3: Sucker Punch
move 4: Iron Head / Low Kick
item: Leftovers / Black Glasses
ability: Supreme Overlord
nature: Adamant
evs: 112 HP / 252 Atk / 144 Spe
tera type: Flying / Dark

[SET COMMENTS]
Kingambit is a strong late-game sweeper thanks to Supreme Overlord and a strong priority in Sucker Punch. Low Kick can be used over Iron Head to punish Ting-Lu, opposing Kingambit, and Tera Dark Chien-Pao, but is generally outclassed by Iron Head's consistency. The given EV spread allows Kingambit to outspeed uninvested Corviknight, Skeledirge, and Alomomola. Tera Flying lets Kingambit take on Ground- and Fighting-type attacks, turning Great Tusk and Iron Treads into setup fodder. Alternatively, Tera Dark—when used with Black Glasses—boosts Kingambit's Dark-type attacks to impressive levels, allowing it to accomplish feats such as OHKOing Miraidon with +2 Sucker Punch. Leftovers allows Kingambit to come in repeatedly on bulky Pokemon such as Toxapex and non-Body Press Corviknight to wear them down, whereas Black Glasses increases the likelihood of Kingambit sweeping. Kingambit fits on offensive teams that appreciate it cleaning up after other setup sweepers and wallbreakers have broken through or weakened its checks. Offensive Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Great Tusk, and Koraidon are great teammates, as they can weaken walls like Dondozo, Corviknight, and Great Tusk for Kingambit, and vice versa. Entry hazard setters such as Glimmora, Froslass, and Great Tusk are appreciated to wear down Kingambit's checks, since they tend to not have reliable recovery. On non-hyper offense teams, Kingambit appreciates defensive support to fall back on, such as Great Tusk or Toxapex for Koraidon and Ting-Lu, Clodsire, or Iron Treads for Miraidon.

[SET COMMENTS]
Kingambit is a strong late-game sweeper thanks to its access to Supreme Overlord and strong priority in Sucker Punch. Low Kick can be used over Iron Head to punish Ting-Lu, listed first since it's the most important target opposing Kingambit, (add comma) and Tera Dark Chien-Pao, and whilst Tera Blast can be paired with Tera Fairy Flying for super-effective super effective damage on Great Tusk and Koraidon, reordered since Great Tusk is probably the more important target Miraidon, and Great Tusk, but these options are generally outclassed by Iron Head's consistency. The given EV spread maximizes Kingambit's Attack stat while allowing it to outspeed uninvested Corviknight, Skeledirge, and Alomomola. Tera Flying also lets Kingambit take on Ground- and Fighting-type attacks, letting it use turning Great Tusk and Iron Treads as set-up setup fodder. Tera Ghost lets Kingambit take on Fighting-type coverage from Koraidon, Annihilape, Great Tusk, and Chien-Pao, while providing a neutrality to Ground-type attacks and a neutrality to Ice-type attacks from Iron Bundle and Chien-Pao. Tera Fairy also provides an resistance to Fighting-type moves, but paired with Tera Blast, Kingambit can threaten more damage on Great Tusk and Koraidon. Alternatively, Tera Dark when in tandem with Black Glasses boosts Kingambit's Dark-type attacks to impressive levels, allowing it to accomplish feats such as OHKOing Corviknight and Toxapex with Kowtow Cleave after Stealth Rock and a Swords Dance and OHKOing Miraidon at +2 with Sucker Punch. Leftovers allows Kingambit to come in repeatedly on bulky Pokemon such as Toxapex and non-Body Press Corviknight to wear them down, whereas Black Glasses increases the likelihood of Kingambit sweeping. you can rewrite this section as desired Kingambit fits on offensive teams that appreciate it cleaning up after other set-up setup sweepers and wallbreakers have broken through its checks, such as Great Tusk and Koraidon. Koraidon is a fantastic partner for being able to wear down physical walls such as Great Tusk, Skeledirge, and Toxapex to faciliate a Kingambit sweep, while Kingambit can similarly use Tera to take on one of these walls early game to open up Koraidon late game. Similarly, Chien-Pao and Offensive Great Tusk can act as are offensive teammates this already implies that Great Tusk is offensive that can break through or weaken physical walls and Fighting-types such as Defensive Great Tusk, Kingambit struggles with both defensive and a healthy offensive Great Tusk Iron Hands, and Koraidon for Kingambit. Entry hazard setters such as Glimmora, Froslass, and Great Tusk are appreciated for being able to wear down Kingambit's checks, since they tend to not have reliable recovery. You could also mention how Kingambit (when on non-HO teams) appreciates having defensive Pokemon to fall back on vs faster threats such as Great Tusk or Toxapex for Koraidon, Clodsire or Ting-Lu for Miraidon etc.

Low Kick can be used over Iron Head to punish Ting-Lu, opposing Kingambit, and Tera Dark Chien-Pao, and Tera Blast paired with Tera Flying hits Great Tusk and a Koraidon for super effective damage, but these options are generally outclassed by Iron Head's consistency. The given EV spread maximizes Kingambit's Attack stat while allowing it to outspeed uninvested Corviknight, Skeledirge, and Alomomola. Tera Flying also lets Kingambit take on Ground- and Fighting-type attacks, turning Great Tusk and Iron Treads into setup fodder. Alternatively, Tera Dark, when used with Black Glasses, boosts Kingambit's Dark-type attacks to impressive levels, allowing it to accomplish feats such as OHKOing Miraidon at +2 Attack with Sucker Punch. Leftovers allows Kingambit to come in repeatedly on bulky Pokemon suhc (fix typo) as Toxapex and non-Body Press Corviknight to wear them down, whereas Black Glasses increases the likelihood of Kingambit sweeping. Kingambit fits on offensive teams that appreciate it cleaning up after other set-up sweepers and wallbreakers have broken through or weakened its checks, such as Great Tusk and Koraidon. Koraidon is a fantastic partner for being able to wear down physical walls such as Great Tusk, Skeledirge, and Toxapex to faciliate a Kingambit sweep, while Kingambit can similarly use Tera to take on one of these walls early game to open up Koraidon late game. Similarly, Chien-Pao and Great Tusk are offensive teammates that can break through or weaken physical walls and Fighting-types such as Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Koraidon for Kingambit. Offensive Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Great Tusk, and Koraidon are great teammates as they can weaken defensive walls like Dondozo, Corviknight, and Great Tusk for Kingambit. Similarly, Kingambit can also weaken defensive walls for the aforementioned teammates. (I believe this explains it, just merged them to make it more concise. you can rewrite as desired) Entry hazard setters such as Glimmora, Froslass, and Great Tusk are appreciated for being able to wear down Kingambit's checks, since they tend to not have reliable recovery. On non-HO teams, Kingambit appreciates defensive support to fall back on, such as Great Tusk or Toxapex for Koraidon, and Ting-Lu, Clodsire, or Iron Treads for Miraidon.

Offensive Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Great Tusk, and Koraidon are great teammates, (ac) as they can weaken defensive walls like Dondozo, Corviknight, and Great Tusk for Kingambit, (ac) and vice versa. Similarly, Kingambit can also weaken defensive walls for the aforementioned teammates. (i assume the walls that kingambit weaken are the aforementioned dondozo corv & tusk for them as well?)
