Kingambit throws light in Dark-type Pokemon, and won an epic tournament

Such a king indeed exists.

After a dominant finals match, Kingambit defeated the throne and made it into the king of Dark types in a major Pokemon Scarlet and Violet tournament this weekend in Fresno, California.

With the Regulation C format, which was defined by the addition of four new Dark varietiesTing-Lu, Chi-Yu, Chien-Pao and (not so much) Wo-ChienKingambit had fallen off a slew of usage in recent tournaments. Even at June 11 Fresno Regionals, Kingambit was nowhere to be found among the top 12 Pokemon in usage.

Even though a samurai can be too dangerous, samurai champion Emilio Forbes showed how threatening the Dark/Steel samurai is in the actual meta. Together, Forbes and Kingambit proved you didn’t need one of the Treasures of Ruin to win a Regulation C tournament.

The Kingambit set was all about the offensive, running Sword Dance and Dark Tera Type with the Black Glasses. Between the Tera – Black Glasses, Kingambit could easily overdo it with its signature move Kowtow Cleave or Sucker Punch for priority, but Swords Dance brought that boosted the impact that was needed to tear through teams. He credits Luka Trejgut for his set.

In addition to Kingambits strength, Forbes could keep the samurai safe from all the Fairy and Fighting types who can hit it for super-effective damage, such as Flutter Mane and Iron Hands. Though he didn’t have a single hit in the semifinals and finals, his Kingambit set up a huge knockout stage and was able to get huge knockouts.

As far as Kingambit, Forbes said, “Doing a very timely job to protect himself from falling asleep in Finals second.” This strategy is fun against the Amoonguss, that has occurred over the course of the season, but at the beginning of the day, Forbes won the whole event.

This was the third time he won a regional tournament. He invited for the Pokemon World Championships 2023 in Yokohama, Japanset to begin Aug 11.
