[SET COMMENTS]

Kommo-o is one of the best setup sweepers on Dragon thanks to Kommonium Z allowing it to omni-boost with Clanging Scales, and its useful coverage moves allow it to threaten various types such as Steel, Dark, Normal, and Poison. Clanging Scales is needed to use Kommonium Z, and it is also useful to hit Pokemon behind a Substitute such as Zapdos and Suicune. Drain Punch allows Kommo-o to take care of troubling Normal-, Steel-, Ice-, and Dark-types such as Blissey, Heatran, Mamoswine, and Urshifu-S while giving it some passive recovery. Flamethrower goes well with its Fighting typing, as it enables Kommo-o to take care of other Steel- and Ice-types such as Mega Scizor, Corviknight, and Avalugg. Taunt is used to avoid phazing from Whirlwind users like Skarmory and Hippowdon and Toxapex's Haze, along with blocking Toxic from Pokemon like Aegislash and Blissey. Clangorous Soul is an option over Taunt to boost Kommo-o's stats even further, but it makes Kommo-o prone to being phazed by Mantine and a healthy Skarmory and has a huge drawback of costing a third of its HP. Soundproof is used to make Ditto and opposing Kommo-o unable to revenge kill Kommo-o with Clanging Scales. A Naive nature with 252 Speed EVs allows it to outpace Pokemon like Mamoswine, speed tie with Nidoking, and outspeed Mega Lopunny and Zeraora after using Kommonium Z.

Garchomp is great to pair with Kommo-o, as it can set up Stealth Rock and take care of Pokemon like Jirachi for it. Kyurem is great to help beat Water-types that can hinder Kommo-o like Tapu Fini and Greninja with Freeze-Dry. Dragalge can provide Toxic Spikes to make it easier for Kommo-o to sweep in Normal- and Dark-type matchups and can use Flip Turn to safely bring in Kommo-o. Dragalge's Poison typing also allows it to come into special Fairy-type attacks from Tapu Koko and Tapu Fini and take care of them with Sludge Wave. Dragalge can also absorb Toxic Spikes to protect Kommo-o from being poisoned. Mega Altaria pairs well with Kommo-o, forming a Dark-type breaking core with Mega Altaria taking care of Mega Sableye and Mandibuzz while Kommo-o takes care of Bisharp and Urshifu-S. Latias is great speed control for Dragon teams, as it can take care of Keldeo, Mega Swampert, and Cloyster after it uses Shell Smash. It is also useful to get rid of entry hazards with Defog and bring back Kommo-o to full health with Healing Wish. Mega Latias is a great teammate for Kommo-o, as it can help greatly in the Flying-type matchup by taking care of Tornadus-T and Zapdos thanks to its BoltBeam coverage. Hydreigon helps greatly in the Psychic- and Ghost-type matchups taking care of threats like Blacephalon and Celebi. Hydreigon can also bring Kommo-o in with U-turn.

Checks and Counters

**Fairy-types**: Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele, Tapu Koko, Mega Diancie, and Mimikyu all can take any of Kommo-o's attacks, block Kommonium Z, and take care of it with their STAB attacks.

**Psychic-types**: Psychic-types such as Mega Gallade, Alakazam, Alolan Raichu, and Mega Gardevoir all can outpace Kommo-o and take care of it with their STAB attacks. Bulkier Psychic-types like Hatterene and Slowking can tank many attacks from Kommo-o and use their super effective STAB moves to take care of it.

**Faster Pokemon**: Faster Pokemon such as Mega Altaria, Choice Scarf Greninja and Latios can outpace and OHKO Kommo-o with super effective attacks.

**Status**: Kommo-o being paralyzed makes it unable to outpace key Pokemon like Hydregion even after setting up with Kommonium Z, while Toxic puts it on a timer for the rest of the game.

Kommo-o is one of the best setup sweepers on Dragon thanks to Kommonium Z allowing it to ommiomni-boost typo with Clanging Scales and useful coverage moves, which allow it to threaten various types such as Steel, Dark, Normal, and Poison. Clanging Scales allows Kommo-o to use Kommonium Z, and it is also useful to hit Pokemon behind a Subsitute such as Zapdos and Suicune. Drain Punch allows Kommo-o to take care of troubling Normal-, Steel-, Ice-, and Dark-types such as Blissey, Heatran, Mamoswine and Urshifu-S while giving it some passive recovery. Flamethrower goes well with its Fighting typing as it enables Kommo-o to take care of Steel- and Ice-types such as Mega Scizor, Corviknight, and Avalugg. Taunt is used to avoid Kommo-o getting phazed from Hippowdon and Toxapex it also prevents status moves like Haze and Toxic from be used against Pokemon like Toxapex and SubToxic Aegislash; mention that. Clongorous Soul is an option over Taunt to boost Kommo-o's stats even further, but makes Kommo-o prone to being phazed from Mantine and a healthy Skarmory the HP loss from using Clangorous Soul is also definitely a flaw that should be mentioned here. Soundproof is used to make Ditto unable to revenge kill Kommo-o with Clanging Scales and opposing Kommo-o. A Naive nature with 252 Speed EVs allows it to outpace Pokemon like Mamoswine, speed tie with Nidoking, and outpace Mega Lopunny and Zeraora after using Kommonium Z.

Garchomp is great to pair with Kommo-o as it can set up Stealth Rock for Kommo-o while it can take care of Psychic-types like Jirachi and Mega Gallade for it just mentioning Pokemon feels a bit oddly specific imo. Kyurem is great to help beat Water-types that can hinder Kommo-o like Tapu Fini and Greninja, and Toxapex Toxapex isn't really a threat to Kommo-o since you shut it down with Taunt anyway with Freeze-Dry that can hinder Kommo-o. Dragalge can provide Toxic Spikes to make it easier for Kommo-o to sweep in Normal- and Dark-type matchups and use Flip Turn to safely bring in Kommo-o. Dragalge's Poison-typing also allows it to come into Special Fairy-type attacks from Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele Another example like Tapu Fini or Mega Diancie would be good since Dragalge can't afford to risk getting KOed by Tapu Lele by Psychic on the switch, and take care of them with Sludge Wave. Mega Altaria pairs well with Kommo-o as they can form a Dark-type breaking core with Mega Altaria taking care of Mega Sableye and Mandibuzz while Kommo-o takes care of Bisharp and Urshifu-S. Latias is great speed control for Dragon, as it can take care of Keldeo, Mega Swampert, and Cloyster after it uses Shell Smash. It is also useful to get rid entry hazards with Defog, and use Healing Wish to bring back Kommo-o back to full health. Add Mega Latias as a teammate to greatly help with the Flying-type matchup, thanks to its good bulk and BoltBeam coverage

Garchomp is great to pair with Kommo-o as it can set up Stealth Rock for Kommo-o while it can take care of Psychic-types Pokemon like Jirachi and Mega Gallade for it [Unsure about the Mega Gallade mention, since it doesn't entirely "take care" of Mega Gallade. Replace with a different example or remove the Mega Gallade mention completely.]. Kyurem is great to help beat Water-types that can hinder Kommo-o like Tapu Fini and Greninja with Freeze-Dry. Dragalge can provide Toxic Spikes to make it easier for Kommo-o to sweep in Normal- and Dark-type matchups and use Flip Turn to safely bring in Kommo-o. Dragalge's Poison-typing also allows it to come into Special Fairy-type attacks from Tapu Koko and Tapu Fini, and take care of them with Sludge Wave. [Mention that Dragalge also absorbs Toxic Spikes and prevents it from crippling Kommo-o.] Mega Altaria pairs well with Kommo-o as they can form a Dark-type breaking core with Mega Altaria taking care of Mega Sableye and Mandibuzz while Kommo-o takes care of Bisharp and Urshifu-S. Latias is great speed control for Dragon, as it can take care of Keldeo, Mega Swampert, and Cloyster after it uses Shell Smash.

Mega Latias is a great teammate for Kommo-o as it can help greatly in the Flying-type matchup with taking care of Tornadus-T and Zapdos that trouble Kommo-o thanks to its BoltBeam coverage. [You can also make a mention about Hydreigon, helps in the Psychic and Ghost MU and can bring Kommo-o in with U-turn.]
