Monotype Kommo-o (Dragon)

[maroon]

Kommo-o @ Kommonium Z
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Clanging Scales
- Dragon Dance
- Close Combat
- Earthquake

Thanks to USM releasing Kommonium Z and giving Kommo-o access to a reliable STAB move in Close Combat, it has gotten a fresh breath of light in the USM Monotype metagame. Clangorous Soulblaze and Dragon Dance are Kommo-o's ways to set up, sweep, and take on types Dragon would usually struggle with such as Normal. Close Combat allows Kommo-o to take on Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Heatran when its Air Balloon is intact. Finally, Earthquake in tandem with Close Combat lets Kommo-o break Steel teams and take on Pokemon such as Nidoking and Jirachi, which it would otherwise struggle to beat. A Naive nature is used to not weaken its Z-Move's power while also not being weaker to common priority attacks such as Extreme Speed and Mach Punch. Kommo-o's teammates appreciate its ability to beat Pokemon such as Chansey and set up easily while not worrying about Ditto being able to revenge kill it thanks to Soundproof. Mega Latias appreciates Kommo-o's ability to take on Dark- and Steel-type Pokemon, allowing it to easily set up Calm Mind and sweep with Stored Power.
