KINGLER Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Swords Dance Body Slam Hyper Beam Crabhammer Move Effect Type Pwr Acc Swords Dance Raises the user's Attack by 2 stages. Normal N/A N/A Body Slam Has a ~30% chance to paralyze the target. Normal 85 100% Hyper Beam In Stadium, the user becomes uncontrollable during its next turn. Otherwise, the user attacks on turn one but it doesn't recharge on turn two if it KOs the target, breaks its Substitute or misses entirely. Normal 150 90% Crabhammer Has a high critical hit ratio. Water 90 85%           Other Options: Mimic, Guillotine if you suck, Amnesia (Tradeback) in combination with Blizzard. Verdict: Kingler is hilarious (as his "KOOKIE KOOKIE" in the Anime attests to), but, as he has low Special and a pretty bleh movepool, not to mention the same type as Starmie and Slowbro, he isn't that good. Swords Dancing and beating things up with Hyper Beam is probably his best option, though Body Slam will help paralyze things for you. Crabhammer is only a really good choice because it gives a STAB option, something to actually hit Rock Pokemon with, and will CH for Kingler almost 100% of the time. At least he gets Amnesia through tradebacks to help him survive and inflict damage (though sadly with Surf instead of his trademark move, as Crabhammer's CH rate nullifies Amnesia in RBY).
