In-Depth Analysis
Kingambit totals 550 across its base stats, profiling as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Lean on its Attack (135) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Speed (50).
Defensively, the Dark, Steel combination gives Kingambit 9 resistances, 2 immunities, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Fighting moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 25 makes Kingambit a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
