I think I understand the general idea for Kamonegi's character now. It's introduced as essentially a rogue samurai street slasher, challenging whoever it can to test its "blade", joining Satoshi for the simple promise of getting stronger, seemingly not caring about anything else,
including friendship. It just wants to swing its leek and get stronger, that's all there is to it, it's a warrior, it exists for battle. It doesn't DISLIKE being part of a team but it doesn't really care either, as shown in this week's episode where it starts to get so absorbed
into training it becomes a danger to the people around it, and ignores Satoshi's attempts at socializing, it only listens to him when it's time for battle. When Satoshi starts wielding a leek himself it's not angry but very visibly confused.
So where is this all going?

Rinto (Gallade guy) says "It seems like Kamonegi-kun doesn't understand what's truly important yet" Indeed, I think Kamonegi actually doesn't have a current reason for wanting to get stronger, it's just the life it's lived (maybe we'll find out why, maybe not).
It's a warrior, and war is all it knows. But its evolution is a knight, and what do knights do? They PROTECT. And having someone you want to protect is the best way to become stronger.
In the new trailer Satoshi says "I believe in Kamonegi" and in the same footage we see its eyes glint up a little (the audio could be for a different scene in the actual ep but we'll see).
I think Kamonegi will need to learn to appreciate Satoshi as a friend over simply as a trainer and gain a real purpose for getting stronger. #anipoke
