Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Ground moves are bad against Flying.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Kingambit is: Ghost
Considering the amount of shared resistances against typings this Pokemon is usually weak to, we also recommend: Water, Dragon, Rock, Fire or Flying
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Dark or Steel ) could also prove useful.

Physical Sweeper Kingambit (Supreme Overlord)
Kingambit is a notable Physical Sweeper in single battles. It's purpose is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Choice Band will increase the damage of Kingambit's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Kingambit's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Supreme Overlord, Kingambit's attack and special attack raise by 10% per fainted teammate.

♦ Night Slash is a physical STAB-boosted 70-base power Dark-type move (high critical hit ratio).
♦ Foul Play is a physical STAB-boosted 95-base power Dark-type move (uses target's attack stat in damage calculation).
♦ Shadow Claw is a physical 70-base power Ghost-type move (high critical hit ratio).
