Strategy Overview
Kingdra's niche in RU is carved by its ability to break past Pokemon such as Cresselia and Umbreon thanks to Sniper, Focus Energy, and Scope Lens. A reasonable Speed stat allows Kingdra to outpace metagame staples such as Nidoqueen, Mega Blastoise, and Necrozma, and it can take advantage of its typing to use Pokemon like Milotic and Bronzong as setup fodder. However, Kingdra's mediocre bulk can make it difficult to set up both Focus Energy and Substitute or Agility, especially if the opponent plays wisely enough to pressure it throughout the game.
