Kingambit is listed as a Dark/Steel type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Kingambit fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Defiant, Chople Berry and Adamant 32/32/2/0/0/0. Its frequent moves include Sucker Punch, Kowtow Cleave, Protect, Iron Head, Low Kick, and Swords Dance. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Kingambit has important weaknesses to fighting 4x, fire 2x, ground 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as sneasler, garchomp, charizard-mega-y, basculegion-male, and aerodactyl appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
