[OVERVIEW]
* Has Sniper and Focus Energy, allowing it to always get a Sniper boosted critical hit.
* Not amazing speed, but gets Agility and Dragon Dance to help with that.
* Water and Dragon is a very good offensive typing, only being resisted by Empoleon and Whimsicott.
* Average speed and bulk makes it hard for it to set up Dragon Dance and Focus Energy
* Fairy-types can usually eat up whatever Kingdra sends at it and KO it back, making it hard for Kingdra to sweep sometimes as Fairy-types are very common.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
* Focus Energy is your set-up move, allowing you to reach 50% crit rate, which with the Scope Lens gives you 100% crit rate.
* Agility allows Kingdra to deal with its low speed tier, making it a fearsome sweeper that is hard to revenge kill.
* Draco Meteor is a very strong STAB attack, and 100% critical hit chance means that Kingdra ignores the Spa drop.
* Hydro Pump allows Kingdra to hit Fairy-types and Steel-types that resist Draco Meteor.
Set Details
========
* Maximum Speed and Spa investment maximizes Kingdra's offensive presence.
* Modest allows Kingdra to wallbreak better, while Timid allows Kingdra to speed tie with Pokemon such as Nidoking
* Sniper boosts critical attack damage from 1.5x to 2.25x, making Kingdra a fearsome wallbreaker.
* Scope Lens raises critical attack rate by 1x, allowing Kingdra to have a 100% crit rate with Focus Energy.
Usage Tips
========
* Do not set up Kingdra on offensive Pokemon that can hit it neutrally, as Kingdra does no appreciate getting hit by even neutral offensive attacks, even with its good defensive typing and decent bulk.
* Kingdra has a mediocre Spa stat before it uses Focus Energy, so be sure to set up before firing off attacks.
* If the opponent has a Choice Scarf user that can revenge kill Kingdra, be sure to set up Agility before sweeping, or to get rid of the Choice Scarf user.
Team Options
========
* Steel- or Fire-types such as Metagross, Honedge, Entei, and Victini are good partners due to their ability to force out Fairy-types that can threaten Kingdra.
* A Fairy-type such as Clefable can scare away Dragon-types that Kingdra cannot set-up on.

Other Options
=============
* List some options for the Pokemon user that are plausible but not always recommended due to either being not consistent enough or too outclassed by other Pokemon in the metagame.
