Number name (example of recommended technique)

Kingler's Battle Rating: Good (Raid/Gym)/Sad (Competition)

A Pokemon with particularly high attack power among water-types. Water-type "Grab Hammer" is particularly powerful. Since the CP is also high, it is suitable for battles such as raid battles where there is a time limit and you want to have a short-term decisive battle. However, it does not have high endurance, so it is fragile when attacked by its weak points, and the total damage until it falls is not high. Like Gengar, you have to be careful about dodging.

Because clubs before evolution often appear near water, they are easy to capture. If the water type does not have a strong attacker, it would be a good idea to train it.

(Evaluation mainly in raids and gym battles) In interpersonal battles such as trainer battles and GO battle leagues, the evaluation changes greatly depending on the environment at that time, so it is only a guideline, but Kingler's durability is too low and It's also difficult to match with strong Pokemon that are commonly used, and it doesn't have a role in interpersonal battles.

Recommended moves:

Awa (Water) / Club Hammer (Water) Mud Shot (Jimen) / Club Hammer (Water)

* "Mad Shot" is a legacy skill (a skill that cannot be learned newly at present).

Speaking of Kingler:

An old Pokemon that appears from the first Pokemon along with the pre-evolution club. The club now has two thorns on its head, giving it a crown-like silhouette befitting a king. It didn't get much attention due to its simple design like the early Pokémon, and there were no additions such as evolved forms or Mega Evolutions, but in the latest Pokémon work Sword and Shield, you can finally make a special gigantic "Gigantic Max". Selected as a Pokemon. In Pokemon GO, even though he has high attack power, he didn't have the opportunity to play an active role due to his lack of skill. It has become a top-level attacker in terms of damage efficiency. Pokemon GO Water Festival started. Kingler becomes the king of water with a new technique
