Build Notes

This Kingambit runs a specially defensive spread instead of an all-out attacker build, since the team already has plenty of Speed-based offense elsewhere. Adamant with 20 HP and 31 Special Defense lets it survive heavy special pressure, including a Fairy plus Ground combination and multiple strong hits from Fairy attackers. Defiant punishes every Intimidate or Parting Shot used against it, which matters since the Eelektross-Mega Coil plan does not want pivoting or stat drops. Black Glasses compensates for the lighter Attack investment so Kowtow Cleave and Iron Head still threaten the Fairy types that trouble Eelektross-Mega, while Sucker Punch punishes faster, frailer targets.
