Kingdra @ Scope Lens / Razor Claw
Ability: Sniper
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 252 SpA, 252Spe, 4 HP
-Surf/Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam/Blizzard
-Draco Meteor
-Focus Energy

*Critical Hit mechanics have been revamped in Gen VI, and this set takes full advantage of it. Critical hits have a 6.25% chance of occurring, and a 12.5% one if you hold an item that boots the odds or use a move with a higher Crit ratio. With Two boosts, a Critical Hit is a 50/50 chance, and if you have [I]three[/I] boosts (i.e. Focus Energy + Scope Lens) then a Crit is 100% ensured. To balance this, Crits will normally do 1.35x damage. With the Sniper boost (1.5x extra for crits), however, Critical Hits will do a quite respectable 2.25x. Plus, since Crits will ignore both your stat drops and the opponents stat boosts, you can happily spam Draco Meteor to your heart's content, and [I]that[/I] is the basis of this set. Massive damage, and the strongest Dragon-Type move in the game with zero drawbacks. However, the turn necessary to set up a Focus energy can leave you open to all sorts of attacks or setup opportunities, so be wary.

Kingdra @ Scope Lens OR Choice Specs [Img]http://serebii.net/itemdex/sprites/choicespecs.png[/Img]
Ability: Swift Swim
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 HP
-Surf
-Ice Beam/Blizzard
-Scald/Hydro Pump/Focus Energy
-Draco Meteor

*This is more of a Doubles and Triples Set. It absolutely needs Rain to function, so keep that in mind when building your team. There are two real options here: Either you can attempt to recreate the Sniper Setup above and guarantee Critical Hits, or you can go the brute force route. Choice Specs give a 50% boost to Special attack, which, when combined with Kingdra's respectable base 95 SpA, allows for quite the formidable boost in power. Naturally, it it impossible on a Crit-oriented set. Since you are locked into one move, you are unable to set up Focus Energy and still attack, ergo the option to go with either Scald (weaker but a 30% burn chance) or Hydro Pump (massive power but lower accuracy). A Specs-boosted Surf in the Rain will do MASSIVE damage to the rest of the field, so make sure you plan accordingly.

[B]1. Galvantula:[/B] [Img]http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/596.gif[/Img]

*Since Kingdra's speed is hardly the best, some support doesn't hurt. Galvantula is one of the only Pokemon with Sticky Web, a new entry hazard that gives all Pokemon that touch the ground a level one speed drop when entering the battle.  This greatly helps, as Kingdra is outsped by just about every Choice Scarf user in the metagame. Galvantula is also a respectable Special Attacker.
