⚔️ Raids

Kingambit is a decent Dark-type attacker, with DPS figures close to but less than both Tyranitar and Absol. It hits harder than Houndoom and Alolan Muk, so Kingambit is mostly suitable for tier 1 Raids, with a ton of stronger Dark-type options available for more challenging Raids.

Even in the Steel department, Kingambit is decent, behind Genesect and Excadrill in DPS, but ahead of Mega Steelix. As such, Kingambit is adequate for tier 1 Raids in this category as well.

🛡️ Gyms

In Gyms, despite having a double weakness to Fighting, Kingambit is quite bulky and has 11 resistances. As such, it winds up being a pretty good Gym defender!

🔵 Great League

With a variety of moves in its kit, Kingambit is viable in the Great League, although it delivers a very predictable performance. Except Feraligatr, Morpeko, Corviknight, and Cramorant, everything else is a victory due to super-effective damage. But even then, it is unable to take down Deoxys Defense and Mimikyu. Basically, it isn't too hard to take down Kingambit, and the opponent can simply call back their Pokémon to bring in a counter without much thought.

🟡 Ultra League

Kingambit’s stat distribution serves it better in the Ultra League, where it is honestly quite lethal. It beats Giratina Altered, Guzzlord, Regidrago, Snorlax, Guzzlord, Kingdra, Toucannon, Ampharos, Ampharos, and Dondozo. Also, unlike the Great League, Kingambit also eliminates Mimikyu in this format. Since Kingambit's weaknesses are few and easily countered, you can add in a strong Water Pokémon and a Flying Pokémon to build a solid team!

🟣 Master League

Unfortunately, Kingambit is effortlessly checkmated in the Master League due to inadequate power.
