[OVERVIEW]
While Kingler boasts an impressive Attack stat complemented by a decent movepool, Sheer Force, and Agility, which gives it a decent matchup against offensive teams, it sadly struggles to break through walls like Vaporeon and Seismitoad. Moreover, its bad special bulk makes it extremely hard for it to set up and leaves it easily revenge killed by faster threats such as Sceptile and Magmortar and by priority move users like Comfey after setup. It also suffers from competition from other Water-types wallbreakers such Samurott, which has higher bulk, Aqua Jet, and Megahorn and can afford to use a Z-Move, giving it a stronger Bug-type move in Savage Spin-Out.

[SET COMMENTS]
With this set, Kingler aims to wallbreak and potentially sweep thanks to its access to Swords Dance and Agility, decent movepool, and ability to force out threats such as Incineroar and set up. However, Kingler has a hard time setting up and breaking past walls such as Vaporeon and suffers from competition from Samurott, as Aqua Jet allows the latter to somewhat avoid revenge killing from the likes of Togedemaru without relying on Agility to do so.
