[OVERVIEW]
After two and a half decades, Kingler has returned to its OverUsed roots on Galarian shores. The addition of Liquidation to its movepool has finally given it a powerful STAB move that synergises with Sheer Force, making it a powerful Swords Dance user that can cleave through teams. Its coverage options in Knock Off, High Horsepower and Superpower allow it to muscle past checks like Slowbro, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn, while its Speed tier enables it to outspeed a number of Pokemon that its main competitor Crawdaunt hopelessly lags behind, such as Volcanion, defensive Zapdos, and Tank Buzzwole. While its nonexistent special bulk, inability to fit all of its coverage moves, and lack of priority moves like Aqua Jet can limit it significantly in some situations, the Kantonian crab will liquidate teams that simply treat it as a homeless man's Crawdaunt with the right support around it.
