Kingdra is a potentially deadly wallbreaker on rain teams thanks to its brutally strong STAB moves as well as its respectable natural power that, when combined with Swift Swim, lets it claim KOs left and right, especially against offensive teams. It, however, faces significant challenges in trying to accomplish this; namely, its poor bulk and mediocre typing mean it is revenge killed rather easily if it predicts an opponent incorrectly or misses an attack. It is also easy to scout because of Choice Specs locking it into a move. Hydro Pump, when boosted by Tera Water and in rain, becomes nigh-unwallable, heavily denting even stopgaps like Ferrothorn and rendering attempts to scout Kingdra using Alomomola or Toxapex highly dangerous. Draco Meteor is the other of Kingdra's incredibly powerful STAB moves, crushing common switch-ins like the aforementioned Alomomola, Ogerpon-W, Toxapex, and Raging Bolt. Flip Turn lets Kingdra keep momentum against the bulkiest of special walls like Chansey and Assault Vest Galarian Slowking that can take it on. Surf is a good mid-ground option that forgoes some immediate power for reliability, letting Kingdra revenge kill Pokemon like Iron Valiant in Rain while not having to worry about Hydro Pump's sometimes maddening accuracy. Pelipper is a must for Kingdra, as it is entirely unviable out of Rain. It also provides entry hazard control with Defog as well as a slow U-turn to give Kingdra the most chances at breaking through opposing teams with its breathtaking power. Nasty Plot Tornadus-T is a great partner for Kingdra, as it threatens the Grass-types that trouble it such as Ferrothorn and Rillaboom. In return, Kingdra helps to overload Steel-types like Heatran and Corviknight easily under rain, paving the way for other teammates. Zapdos is another option to take care of bulky Water-types more directly as well as check Rillaboom long-term. Mega Swampert is another great partner, as the two form a brilliant wallbreaking core that hit each other's checks: Draco Meteor crushes Grass-types like Ogerpon-W, while Mega Swampert beats special walls like Chansey thanks to its incredible physical power. Iron Treads is able to dictate the hazard game on rain teams by both setting Stealth Rock and by removing opposing hazards with Rapid Spin.

Kingdra is a potentially deadly wallbreaker on Rain teams thanks to its brutally strong STAB moves as well as its respectable natural power that, when combined with Swift Swim, lets it claim KOs left and right against offensive teams. Hydro Pump lets Kingdra annihilate common stopgaps like Corviknight and Zapdos in Rain, these are both awful against rain if you meant stopgaps to that teamstyle in particular; if you meant kingdra, then corv is free momentum and zap still dies to draco and when boosted by Tera Water, it becomes nigh-unwallable, achieving feats like 2HKOing Alomomola and Slowking-G. mola hates draco + gking gets pumped in rain, mention other stuff like denting ferro more heavily + reword mola mention to include it and pex but also state how they can't safely regen scout as much Draco Meteor is the other of Kingdra's incredibly powerful STAB options, crushing common switch-ins like the aforementioned Alomomola, Ogerpon-W, Toxapex, and Raging Bolt. Flip Turn lets Kingdra keep momentum against the bulkiest of special walls like Chansey and Assault Vest Slowking-G that can take it on. Surf is a good midground option that forgoes some immediate power for reliability, letting Kingdra revenge kill Pokemon like Iron Valiant in Rain while not having to worry about Hydro Pump's sometimes-maddening accuracy. Pelipper is a must for Kingdra, as it is entirely unviable out of Rain. It also provides entry hazard control with Defog as well as a slow U-turn to give Kingdra the most chances at breaking through opposing teams with its breathtaking power. Nasty Plot Tornadus-T is a great partner for Kingdra, as it obliterates the Grass-types that trouble it such as Ferrothorn and Rillaboom. It appreciates Kingdra being able to break through bulky Steel-types like Heatran and Aegislash in return. you don't actually break through steel types because none of them want to switch in on you besides ferro; i would instead add in on the last sentence that you overload ferro quite easily under rain. zap should also be mentioned as a way to more handily threaten waters + long term check rilla. Swampert-Mega is another great partner, as the two form a brilliant wallbreaking core that hit each others' checks: Draco Meteor crushes Grass-types like Ogerpon-W, while Earthquake shatters Steel-types like Assault Vest Iron Crown. just mention its good mu into special walls instead Iron Treads is able to dictate the hazard game on Rain teams as well as threaten out Fairy-types like Enamorus, you're clicking water stab 90% of the time, fairies aren't an issue. which makes it a good choice alongside Kingdra on Rain teams. Barraskewda is a horrifyingly powerful physical wallbreaker on rain, letting it effortlessly cleave through Kingdra's few reliable answers like the aforementioned Blissey and Assault Vest Slowking-G while bringing it in with Flip Turn on temporary checks like Urshifu-R. ngl barra does the same for kingdra that pert does but just without the ground stab giving it a better mu into pex, idt it's worth highlighting.

hello, mostly just fixing wordings
Kingdra is a potentially deadly wallbreaker on Rain teams thanks to its brutally strong STAB moves as well as its respectable natural power that, when combined with Swift Swim, lets it claim KOs left and right especially you still pressure other teams rather easily against offensive teams. i think its quite important to also talk about the downsides, why is kingdra C-? mainly how it has to rely on specs so its prediction reliant, has below average bulk and not such a good typing Hydro Pump, when boosted by Tera Water and in rain, becomes nigh-unwallable, with defensive stopgaps like Ferrothorn being heavily dented and attempts to scout Kingdra using Alomomola or Toxapex highly dangerous. Draco Meteor is the other of Kingdra's incredibly powerful STAB options, crushing common switch-ins like the aforementioned Alomomola, Ogerpon-W, Toxapex, and Raging Bolt. Flip Turn lets Kingdra keep momentum against the bulkiest of special walls like Chansey and Assault Vest Galarian Slowking that can take it on.

Pelipper is a must for Kingdra, as it is entirely unviable out of Rain. It also provides entry hazard control with Defog as well as a slow U-turn to give Kingdra the most chances at breaking through opposing teams with its breathtaking power. Nasty Plot Tornadus-T is a great partner for Kingdra, as it obliterates threatens ferro is scared of fblast and rilla of hurricane, they also cant really make progress on torn so they wont try to stay in; rather you use it to threaten then double out or stuff the Grass-types that trouble it such as Ferrothorn and Rillaboom. In return, the two overload Steel-types like Heatran and Corviknight easily under rain, paving the way for other teammates. Zapdos is another option to take care of bulky Water-types more directly as well as check Rillaboom long-term. Mega Swampert is another great partner, as the two form a brilliant wallbreaking core that hit each other's checks: Draco Meteor crushes Grass-types like Ogerpon-W, while Mega Swampert crushes beats u 1v1 them but u dont flat out ohko, pretty sure chansey can tank like two eqs even special walls like Chansey thanks to its incredible physical power. Iron Treads is able to dictate the hazard game on Rain teams how?, which makes it a good choice alongside Kingdra on those Rain teams.
