[SET COMMENTS]
Body Press allows Kommo-o to use its good Defense to threaten Pokemon like Lycanroc-D, Krookodile, and Zarude. Flamethrower pressures Aegislash, Amoonguss, and Buzzwole, while Earthquake is an alternative that retains coverage for Aegislash and threatens Nihilego and Nidoking. Draco Meteor is an option over Body Press to OHKO offensive Salamence and pressure Thundurus and Nidoking, which would otherwise switch in safely. Toxic cripples Tangrowth, Salamence, and Buzzwole. Leftovers improves Kommo-o's longevity while Rocky Helmet punishes contact moves from Pokemon like Lycanroc-D, Zarude, and Buzzwole,(RC) but it has lower reduces longevity. Bulletproof allows Kommo-o to check Aegislash locked into Shadow Ball, Tangrowth, and if another Pokemon has been put to sleep, Amoonguss. Overcoat is an alternative to prevent Spore and Sleep Powder from Amoonguss and Roserade. 56 Speed EVs allows Kommo-o to outspeed Aegislash, while 16 Speed EVs can be used to increase its bulk and still outspeed Adamant Crawdaunt. A Bold nature is preferred if running Flamethrower, but a Impish nature should be run if Earthquake is opted for.
Defensive Kommo-o is found on bulky offense teams as a Stealth Rock setter and good check to Pokemon such as Zarude. Since Kommo-o is hard walled by Salamence, checks such as Chansey, Umbreon, and Nihilego help against it. Chansey provides Teleport and checks specially defensive Aegislash, Moltres, and Necrozma; Umbreon deals with threats such as Nidoking and Azelf and helps Kommo-o retain longevity with Wish support; and Nihilego checks Flying-types like Galarian Moltres and appreciates Kommo-o setting Stealth Rock so it can run other moves such as Toxic Spikes or sets such as offensive Power Herb. Wallbreakers such as Starmie and Lycanroc-D appreciate Kommo-o checking Pokemon such as Zarude and Aegislash and setting up Stealth rock to wear down foes. Jirachi, Assault Vest Galarian Slowbro, and Assault Vest Tangrowth help deal with Fairy-types such as Primarina and Hatterene. Jirachi can also provide Wish support to keep Kommo-o healthy. Clerics such as Sylveon and Togekiss can remove status, which would otherwise cripple Kommo-o.
