1v1 Kommo-o

[UT]

Kommo-o @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 248 HP / 56 Def / 204 Spe
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- Taunt
- Substitute
- Iron Defense

Kommo-o withstands and overwhelms opposing physical attackers with its STAB IronPress and utilizes its good Speed and Taunt to shut down opposing setup threats! Iron Defense + Sitrus Berry enables setup against powerful physical attackers like Booster Energy Iron Hands and Choice Band Great Tusk, then defeating them with +2 Body Press, and its useful set of resistances also gives it a favorable matchup against common threats like Urshifu-R and Kingambit. Taunt shuts down stall Manaphy and non-Mental Herb Corviknight while blocking any cheeky Encore from Donphan. Substitute + Soundproof lets Kommo-o dodge Hyper Beam from any Sylveon that forgot to pack Draining Kiss or Psyshock and avoid Toxic from slower threats like Clodsire. Kommo-o just dies against any Fairy-type other than Sylveon, so teammates like Cresselia and Ogerpon-H are required to deter your opponent from clicking them. Ghost-types also are immune to Kommo-o's only attack, making Dark-types like Chien-Pao and Darkrai solid teammates.

Quick set nitpick, you're going into the "in the middle of nothing" scenario here with going with Impish + 0 Attack IVs. If you want to reduce damage from Foul Play, go with Bold. If you want to increase Struggle's damage, go with 31 Attack IVs.

and its useful set of resitances

a bit of a GP check sorry...

also give it a favorable matchup against common threats like
Ogerpon-H and Meowscarada

The issue here is that Hearthflame actually has a faster Taunt that it can run on its Leech Seed sets, effectively winning it the matchup there. Meowscarada oftentimes runs Play Rough on its physical sets, which just ends up OHKOing Kommo-o.

Taunt shuts down any Cresselia or Corviknight that tries to setup alongside Kommo-o

Cresselia also tends to run a Fairy-type move, namely Moonblast. Corviknight can (and often does) run Mental Herb + Taunt, which also shuts down Kommo-o. I would recommend maybe bringing up Pokemon like Manaphy, but I haven't tested that matchup, so I don't really know if Manaphy would really work there.

Substitue lets Kommo-o dodge Hyper Beam from any Sylveon that forgot to pack Tera Blast or Psyshock

another bit of a GP check, sorry... But anyways, I think explaining Soundproof here might be nice as well because that's a major part of its niche.

Kommo-o just fucking dies against literally any Fairy-type

UT... the children.... but coming to the content part of this, it does sometimes beat Sylveon so there's that so it's not literally *any* Fairy-type....

making Dark-types like Chien-Pao and Ting-Lu solid teammates.

Ting-Lu hasn't really been used in a bit, so maybe saying either Darkrai or Meowscarada instead may be nice.

Idk how Social Media QCing works, but if possible I'd like to look through this one more time after you've implemented some of these changes to make sure everything looks good.

Lumii ready for recheck; mostly need something that Taunt does, since apparently all my examples are bad.

Taunt does nothing cause apparently everything beats Taunt and blocks any cheeky Encore from Donphan.

Substitue
