▸ How it works
Both attackers scale with fallen allies — Kingambit through Supreme Overlord, Basculegion-M through Last Respects. The longer the game runs, the harder these two punch.
▸ Strengths
- +By turn 5, both Pokémon are dealing 1.3x+ damage from accumulated KOs — the math gets terrifying.
- +Supreme Overlord Kowtow Cleave + Last Respects covers nearly every defensive type in the format.
- +Both threats benefit from the same supporting structure (Tailwind, Fake Out partners).
▸ Weaknesses
- −Slow start — if you can't trade evenly in the first 2-3 turns, neither Pokémon comes online.
- −Both die to Mach Punch / Sucker Punch priority from Iron Hands and Marshadow.
- −No special attacker means Eviolite Chansey and bulky Steel walls can stonewall the back half.
