MetaVGC currently tracks 496 teams in this catalog. The first page highlights representative examples such as #1st – The Drywalls Seriers #4 - Champions! — QueerCrocodile, #1st – Dark Storm Team testing #7 — Lorbrun, and #2nd – The Drywalls Seriers #4 - Champions! — Orttega15. Each card links to a complete team page where you can inspect all six Pokémon, held items, abilities, moves, EVs when available and the Showdown-ready paste.
When comparing Kingambit teams, look for repeated partners, tournament structures and the way players cover difficult matchups. Frequent names in this slice include Basculegion-M, Garchomp, Charizard Mega Y, Sneasler, and Floette Mega. Those patterns help separate a one-off idea from a stable core you can test on ladder, bring to community events or adapt for preparation against the current meta.
Use this list as a starting point for building, testing and adapting teams. Copying a paste is fast, but the real value comes from understanding why Kingambit appears on these teams, what role it fills and which moveset, item or partner changes can improve your matchups in the current regulation.
After you find a promising structure, open the full team, compare it with other examples from the same page and move the idea into the team builder or damage calculator. That process turns a list of results into practical preparation: you identify patterns, test variations and learn which choices are essential for keeping the concept competitive.
