![]() Bubble / Crabhammer | A+ Tier |
Kingler is not just a bigger crab than Krabby, it also has a high ATK of 240 and the dreaded Crabhammer, making it a top Water-type Pokémon for PvE. 🌊
It’s definitely worth raising one with high IVs! ✅
💎 Best PvE moveset: Bubble, Crabhammer
⚔️ Raids
Kingler is one of the strongest non-Mega/non-Shadow Water-type Pokémon, ranking just behind Primal Kyogre and Greninja in DPS. However, it’s a glass cannon, so dodging is crucial for optimal performance. 🦀
🛡️ Gyms
Kingler is too fragile, making it an underwhelming Gym defender.
🔮 Max Battles
Gigantamax Kingler takes the crown as the strongest GMax Water Pokémon at the time of its debut. 😎
Bubble provides higher EPS than Water Gun or Waterfall, allowing GMax Kingler to charge up its powerful GMax Foam Burst quickly. 🙌
Gigantamax Kingler has significantly higher DPS than GMax Blastoise and even outperforms GMax Toxtricity in some matchups (e.g., against GMax Charizard). Overall, it’s a fantastic GMax investment. 📈
Dynamax Kingler, on the other (claw), is significantly weaker and is heavily outclassed.
