Build Notes

Swords Dance provides +2 Attack directly. Combined with Defiant's response to Intimidate, Kingambit reaches +4 Attack from a single Swords Dance turn behind Aurora Veil. Black Glasses amplifies Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch. Kowtow Cleave never misses. Sucker Punch provides priority for finishing weakened faster targets. Protect allows safe positioning during Aurora Veil turns. Adamant maxed HP and Attack. Aurora Veil from Mega Froslass halves incoming damage. Under Veil, Kingambit survives hits that would stop a setup sweep and reaches the Attack threshold needed to KO through any defensive investment.
