Build Notes
Defiant raises Attack by two stages on any stat drop. Every Intimidate attempt grants a free +2 Attack boost, and in a format where Incineroar is ubiquitous, Defiant triggers frequently without requiring any setup investment. Swords Dance provides an additional +2 Attack for snowballing late-game sweeps. Kowtow Cleave never misses for reliable Dark STAB. Sucker Punch provides priority for finishing weakened faster targets. Black Glasses amplifies all Dark moves. Adamant maxed HP and Attack creates maximum physical bulk and damage output simultaneously. Defiant's Intimidate punishment makes Kingambit one of the strongest end-game sweepers. The format's most common support tool inadvertently fuels its sweep.
