Kommo-o has been on the rise since USUM's release due to its exclusive Z-Move Clangorous Soulblaze allowing it to omniboost and become a fearsome sweeper that helps against troublesome matchups like Normal, Dark, and Steel. Thanks to Flamethrower and Drain Punch, it can break the common Steel-type core of Heatran + Celesteela + Ferrothorn, which Dragon has a hard time dealing with. It can take on bulky Pokemon like Porygon2 and Chansey, Leech Seed users like Celesteela and Ferrothorn, and Haze users like Toxapex and Mantine thanks to Taunt cutting off their recovery. Taunt from Kommo-o also prevents Stealth Rock being set by the likes of Swampert and Empoleon and can stop slow Defog users like Zapdos and Rotom-W from removing Stealth Rock. Partners like Garchomp and Kyurem-B are nice to pair with Kommo-o because Garchomp can set Stealth Rock to help chip Pokemon, while Kyurem-B can help out in the Water and Flying matchups by pressuring defensive cores of these teams.
