Strategy Overview

Water

Kingdra is a solid Swift Swim special attacker for Water teams; however, it is only functional in this role and faces competition from Basculegion-F, which has superior Special Attack. Along with that, rain teams can opt to not run a special attacking Swift Swim threat and instead choose to run Choice Specs Greninja to be less reliant on rain overall.
