[SET COMMENTS]
With its decent mixed offensive prowess, Kommo-o can use a mixed set with Close Combat to put more pressure on opposing Steel, Dark, and Dragon team's defensive cores. Close Combat pulverizes Hisuian Goodra, Heatran, Ting-Lu, and Empoleon which otherwise can try and scout other Kommo-o sets. Close Combat also deals with Scrafty, which is troublesome for most Dragon teams. Clanging Scales punishes switchins like Dragapult, Sableye, and Archaludon, 2HKOing the latter defensive walls. Flamethrower deals with Steel team's switchins in Skarmory and Gholdengo. Vacuum Wave picks off faster threats like Meowscarada and Greninja. 92 Atk EVs coupled with Expert Belt ensures Kommo-o OHKOs Hisuian Goodra. A Rash nature is preferred as it lets Kommo-o 2HKO non-Specially Defensive Gholdengo with Flamethrower and reduce the chip needed for Vacuum Wave to KO Hisuian Samurott and Greninja late-game.
Mixed Kommo-o struggles with bulkier defensive cores such as that of Flying and Water teams, and is unable to 2HKO Specially Defensive Corviknight, so breakers such as Choice Specs Dragapult and Latios make for great team mates. Dragapult also deals with faster threats like Choice Specs Flutter Mane and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, and loves Kommo-o's ability to punch through special walls like Ting-Lu and Hisuian Goodra. Latios deals with Poison-types like Clodsire and pressures Flying and Fighting teams, and can even run Flip Turn if using a Choice Scarf to pivot Kommo-o in against Ting-Lu, Empoleon, and Gholdengo which check Latios. Both also appreciate Kommo-o's ability in Bulletproof, as it covers for their weakness to Shadow Ball. Kyurem and Raging Bolt devastates defensive cores of Water and Flying teams and loves Kommo-o's ability to remove their checks in Iron Treads, Ting-Lu, and Empoleon. Kyurem also deals with Clodsire, while Raging Bolt zaps Corviknight and Toxapex for Kommo-o. Hisuian Goodra and Archaludon provide useful neutralities, with Hisuian Goodra dealing with Primarina, Flutter Mane, and Greninja, and Archaludon covering for physical threats like Roaring Moon and Meowscarada. Archaludon also provides Stealth Rock, which help chip down speedy threats to the point where Kommo-o can safely remove them with Vacuum Wave. Hisuian Goodra can also Knock Off items from walls, allowing Kommo-o to plausibly 2HKO Specially Defensive Corviknight after Stealth Rock. Choice Scarf Roaring Moon deals with faster threats like non-Choice Scarf Dragapult and Flutter Mane, and also pivots Kommo-o in against walls like Skarmory. Swords Dance Garchomp appreciates Kommo-o's ability to break down Steel and Dragon teams, which paves a way for Garchomp to sweep. It also deals with Volcarona and Articuno which wall Kommo-o. Other setup sweepers like Dragonite benefit from Kommo-o breaking its checks in Skarmory and Archaludon.
