Strategy & play
How Kingambit plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Massive Rend) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 140 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥90 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 4 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Kingambit
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥90 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Kingambit is real?
Kingambit is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
