Kommo-o Sun & Moon Guide
For Sun & Moon, we rate Kommo-o B-Tier: a solid option in Sun & Moon for the right team. At 600 BST, it fits the tank role. Clangingscales with Kommoniumz is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, Kommo-o's biggest threats include Mimikyu (Fairy), Kyurem (Ice), and Talonflame (Flying), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Mimikyu is the most dangerous since Fairy moves deal 4x damage. Psychic and Dragon-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Kommo-o has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Bulletproof is the go-to ability for Kommo-o. It protects against bullet, ball, and bomb-based moves. Its hidden ability Overcoat can work in specific setups. Soundproof is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
Base 85 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Kommo-o is a mixed attacker with base 110 Attack and 100 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a tank.
For Sun & Moon, the core moveset is Clangingscales, Close Combat, Drain Punch, and Dragon Dance. Clangingscales leads at 0% usage. This set covers the tank role with a mix of damage and utility.
