anyone else seeing Comfey use on the ladder? I find it funny how it's being used to counter Lokix cause triage moves before first impression
no... comfey is just a sweeper that can take advantage of tera fire and tera ground and use boosted drianing kisses to clean games.. still niche considering even with LO it isnt hitting that hard but it can be a terror into offense MU's. Also its dead weight without tera
comfey prob doesnt want to take a knock off anyway considering how valuable the extra power from life orb is.

Also another clanger post
i think SD is a very solid option
@ Loaded Dice
Ability: Bulletproof
Tera Type: Steel / Electric
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Close Combat / Drain Punch
- Iron Head / Thunder Punch
Well what does it do? well compared to regular dd this has much much more power after a boost... compared to regular clanger you can still take advantage of its passivity esp at +1 with relying on drain punch and thunder punch (non stab until after tera). With an SD up you all of a sudden can nuke stuff like slowking, def zapdos, tinkaton, etc
+2 252 Atk Kommo-o Scale Shot (4 hits) vs. 252 HP / 172 Def Slowking: 292-348 (74.1 - 88.3%) -- approx. 2HKO
+2 252 Atk Kommo-o Scale Shot (4 hits) vs. 252 HP / 160+ Def Zapdos: 256-304 (66.6 - 79.1%) -- approx. 2HKO
+2 252 Atk Kommo-o Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Metagross: 279-328 (76.6 - 90.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
this is a lot of damage to pokemon, and while dd kommo-o with lefties has a lot of defensive utility this one sacrifices it to make sure you can punch a team in its face at underestimating how much dmg kommo-o does. Esp with scale shot boosts you can really get out control.
"But why should i use this?"
well... it has a lot of surprise factor behind it, surprise factor is smth a lot of people look over esp on ladder and in tours where people wont know what ur going to bring, using +2 scale shot to kill zapdos with a 5 hit scale shot and mowing down their team on what they thought "i can force out tera electric and pivot to a counter / they alr used tera electric, this is of no threat to me".
Surprise factor is nice to but I believe this set is also pretty good without the surprise factor, knowing you can com in later in the game and SD on more balance teams and nuke a lot of counters that you would not be able to without the boost is smth a lot of people look over and kommo-o is a versatile pokemon, who knows what its going to do from preview
