Kingdra @ Choice Specs
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Dragon Pulse
Kingdra continues to rain on Monotype's parade! Despite its tame stat spread by modern standards, Kingdra is still a solid threat on rain teams, being just fast enough to outspeed common Choice Scarf users like Roaring Moon and Meowscarada and eliminate them. Hydro Pump and Draco Meteor serve as high-power options, with Draco Meteor cleaning through the likes of Raging Bolt, Kyurem, and Meowscarada, while Hydro Pump cleans through threats such as Hatterene and Gholdengo. Furthermore, rain-boosted Hydro Pump now cleanly 2HKOes specially defensive Articuno and Assault Vest Hoopa-U after Stealth Rock. Surf and Dragon Pulse serve as more reliable options, with rain-boosted Surf still being enough to 2HKO specially defensive Corviknight and OHKO Ogerpon-H, while Dragon Pulse cleans up against the likes of Latios and unboosted Dragapult. Kingdra greatly appreciates teammates like Hisuian Samurott and Urshifu-R, which can help break through special walls that stop it such as Blissey and Hisuian Goodra, with Hisuian Samurott also being able to set Spikes with Ceaseless Edge to further wear down foes like Primarina and Water Absorb Clodsire.
