A gunslinger, a bard, or a caster. They work decent (not great) for rogues once you get Dex to damage.
Kobolds make pretty good bards, though, thanks to the Jester alternate trait.
Yeah, alchemist would work, too.

I knew you would have a quick answer for this.
Do you just stalk the forums for kobold threads? :P
There's a new racial trait that also boosts their Draconic bloodlines.
The best thing about Kobolds is the Kobold Confidence feat though. Can grant a massive FORT boost to a Sorcerer or Wizard.
Since it only has two important stats, you could actually pull off a fairly good kineticist. Sure, penalty in con, but bonus in dex. And since you can dump the hell out of other stats, you can get to acceptible levels.
If memory serves, kobolds make funny oracle dragon disciples... aince they are the ONLY oracle dragon disciples lol
Ninja
Paladin (small size and str penalties get mitigated a lot by Smite)
Fighter (Swarm Fighter archetype)
Trapper Ranger
All of that is good. Range, sneaky, and casty they do very well.
Unchained rogue two weapon fighter - go with the Dragonmaw alternate racial trait and the Tail Terror feat and you're going to get a ton of attacks per round. Each one isn't going to do a lot of damage but when you stack on sneak attack damage then it's going to start to really add up.
In honor of the greatest Kobold of all time the only right and proper class for a Kobold would be a Psion. If you're not into 3pp, I guess you could try the psychic.

...that kobold's name wouldn't be Billy, would it?

Not even close. Goes back to the Great Ones of 3e. Everyone should be terrified of Kobold Psions.
Pun-Pun wasn't a psion, though. I'm sure he's lost me.
Hehe.
Natural attack focused Barbarian/Sorcerer into Dragon Disciple.
Mini-dragon.
Probably not super min-maxed effective, but cool nonetheless.
Not optimal, but very very playable.

His original version was. Later on new methods were found that changed the class, lowered the level, and removed the Kobold requirement.
I'm familiar with the 3.5 version, which did require you be a kobold. That's arguably the more well-known one.

I'm not going to have a huge tangent about it, but here is a slightly more complete history at 1d4chan
As I recall they reliably got the Psion levels required down to 8 before delving into more exotic builds like the one you posted. Depending on how certain rules were interpreted the Pun Pun build could be achieve by any Race/Class combination assuming you could succeed at a high enough Knowledge Check. This would let you know that the Demon Prince Pazuzu could be summoned by repeating his name three times and he would reward you with a Wish that could be used to set off a complex chain of events that allowed you to achieve the Pun Pun power in under 10 rounds.
But as I said before the Original Pun Pun was a Psion.
Not optimal, but very very playable.Hehe.

Why not oracle?
Oracle meshes beyyer due to larger BAB and HD and a Battle Oracle Barbarian Dragon Disciple would be funny.
My favourite I played before was actually a monk in 3.5 that went the whole Master of Draconic Mysteries prestige class. These days I'd probably go oracle or sorcerer though.
Kindergarten at a tough reform school .
Kobolds are the only race that can be Oracle Dragon Disciples, because reasons...
Rogue/Assassin.
There is such a feat...Interesting.
But, unless there has been some clarification, it's still a bad idea to go with Oracle into DD.
The Dragon Disciple rules state that the Draconic bloodline powers for existing Sorcerer levels advance as you advance in the DD prestige class. Scaled Disciple states that your spontaneous divine spell casting advances as Dragon Disciple levels advance, but there is nothing that indicates any of the other Oracle abilities advance as DD goes up. You get Draconic Bloodline powers, but at a delayed pace relative to a character who had previous Draconic Sorcerer levels.
The Oracle would be stuck with the level 2-3 Oracle curse effect and a couple of the low level Revelations that haven't advanced. He'd have roughly 1 BAB higher than a Sorcerer/Martial mix, and a slower advancement of the Draconic bloodline abilities.
If Scaled Disciple allowed the Oracle Mystery to advance the same way that it allowed the Sorcerer Bloodline to advance, it would probably be an awesome option. Advancing simultaneously in both a Mystery and the Draconic Bloodline from DD would open up a lot of interesting stuff.
Your curse still advances. If you read.curses they still advance just slpwer. Which is why single level dips for barbs are awesome
Kobold fighter has basically a light version of sneak attack as FCB. Combine that with bite attack, tail attack and two short swords and over the course of levels (and feats), you will teach your opponents the horror of the 1d4.
Speaking of horror: The Frightener alternative racial trait sounds like fun too. Let those big people run in fear!
Oh TECHNICALLY the feat also works for i.inquisitors.... just a thing to note...
I vote advanced player guide summoner. Then again, I'm biased.
Depending on what you GM will allow you to take...
1: Draconic Aspect
2: Draconic Breath
3: Noxious Bite
Just pick up the alternate racial trait that gives you a bite attack and you're set. That combo is nasty! A definite must for any melee kobolds. Druid might not be a bad choice for that, but going for fighter or barbarian to maximise your chances of getting that bite to hit isn't a bad idea either.
