Kommo-o @ Throat Spray
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Clangorous Soul
- Clanging Scales
- Aura Sphere
- Protect

Even though Kommo-o doesn't have access to Clangorous Soulblaze anymore, the alternative introduced in this generation—Clangorous Soul—does a good job at turning Kommo-o into a truly scary setup sweeper! The clanger is able to use huge Doubles presences such as Incineroar and Rotom-W as setup fodder and proceed to clean the opposing team, outpacing the entire unboosted metagame after a Clangorous Soul and destroying the likes of Dragapult, Excadrill, and Venusaur; the latter notably is unable to cripple Kommo-o with Sleep Powder due to Overcoat. Throat Spray capitalizes on Clangorous Soul being a sound move and makes Kommo-o even more difficult to handle defensively. Kommo-o is totally helpless against Fairy-types such as Togekiss and Sylveon, so a check to them like Excadrill is a mandatory teammate.

One of the most important aspects of Kommo-o's rise is Overcoat -- Venusaur has been quite popular recently and having something that won't be crippled by Sleep Powder is nearly mandatory on every team, and Kommo-o has that built in. An offensive setup sweeper that thwarts Venusaur spreading sleep and matches up against the best Pokemon in the metagame right now -- Melmetal -- is an incredibly value thing to many teams. Other than that, everything you've mentioned is solid, so I'll leave it to you to figure out how to best keep it brief and concise.

If you want me to take another look after you've made your edits, I'll be happy to do so, but I'll give a QC 1/1 dependent on emphasizing my above points a bit more.

With Melmetal banned, you should just be fine removing both mentions of it. I don't think either place it's mentioned really needs other examples and it'd be conjecture to say what would replace its role regardless.
