Chaos King - Darkinium-Z Kingambit Offense (HIT #1 ON LADDER, 1950 ELO!)

Kingambit
Iron Valiant
Slowbro
Raging Bolt
Iron Treads
Mega Charizard Y

Analysis

As soon as Tera got the axe in this format, I wanted to try out something involving Darkinium Z Kingambit. It seemed to be incredibly potent after viewing a few calculations, securing OHKO's on things like Corviknight, Alomomola, Landorus, and other Kingambits. I'll get to those later, though. This team is designed to lay on constant pressure with vicious attackers like SD Valiant, Charizard Y, and of course Kingambit, while allowing for some room for error with defensive Iron Treads and Slowbro. Well, without further ado, let's get down to my teambuilding process and what these Pokemon fulfill for this team.

Analysis

I'll start the RMT with a proper introduction as to who I am. Hello everyone, my name is YaVR_1 on smogon however I'm known as Blue on PS! The main reason I built this team was to see how well could a breaker like choicespecs Raging-bolt perform in the current National Dex meta where offense and bo have been thriving whereas most balance teams have been struggling due to the sheer number of wall breakers as well as z moves plaguing the meta and I must admit, Raging-bolt performed admirably well on this specific balance team meant to have a positive mu into offense. Now I began building the team around choicespecs raging-bolt as the teams main breaker. Thunderclap provided it with valuable priority, enabling it to rkill pokemon faster then it such as diancie-mega or iron-valiant . However, I noticed that it struggled vs ferrothorn , ting-lu shedinja & blissey , hence I decided to add kingambit . Not only did kingambit pursuit trap blissey & shedinja , making it easy for raging-bolt to break through stall, but vs bo, it was able to break past ferrothorn via knock off and cripple ting-lu by removing leftovers. Since the core lacked longevity, I decided to run weezing-Galar since it's one of the only pokemon capable of defogging on gholdengo, enabling this team to beat those hazard stack teams. Sd + sub samurott-hisui also has a good mu vs this team and weezing-Galar helps with that mu asw. rockyhelmet corviknight + assaultvest alomomola form the complete defensive core of the team, with alomomola alleviating the mu into sun & rain teams. choicescarf great-tusk acts as the teams speed control, rkilling many offensive powerhouses such as tapu-lele & diancie-mega
