Diddy Kong

Diddy Kong is a Zarude created by Shade Cashew. It is a decent all-around attacker, sporting good power, a nice offensive and usable defensive typing, workable speed and surprisingly decent bulk for an offensive mon. What sets it apart from other all-around attackers are its Dark typing, allowing it to threaten cancer despite a lack of Knock Off, and utility through U-Turn and Taunt. While it is a bit lacking in coverage, Close Combat lets it hit things like tank trouble 1 and STAKATAKATAKA harder than its other moves, while Stomping Tantrum is another Steel-hitting move for when it doesn't get that. STAB Darkest Lariat is particularly useful to ignore the Stamina boosts from THICCCLOPS and the aforementioned cancer. While it fulfills multiple roles decently, it doesn't really excel in anything; its power is lacking compared to dedicated breakers, its bulk is nowhere on the level of tanks like Crusader Escaval and its speed leaves it just barely outsped by massive threats like cold turkey and Suicide Birb V2.0. Its typing also makes it extremely vulnerable to opposing U-Turn users.
