Checks and Counters
===================
**Crobat**: Crobat can easily come in on a sub, and Brave Bird right past it
**Quagsire**: Quagsire is a straight stop to all physical Kommo-o's as it stops/prevents the sweep from happening
**Klefki**: Klefki can take on DD variants of Kommo-o lacking Eq, as it lives a +1 Close Combat, and does not let BD set up
**Faster Scarfers**: Latias and Hydreigon outspeed at +1 and can ko back
**Hippowdon**: This mon counters the BD variant as it tanks a +6 Drain Punch and can Whirlwind Kommo-o out
**Tentacruel**: Tenta takes on both sets, as it tanks +6 Shadow Claw, and +1 Z Outrage, and can threaten with haze, and Liquid Ooze in BD's case
- Kommo-o has great natural bulk with 75/125/105, which allows for easier set up, and more difficult to Revenge Kill
- Its defensive typing gives useful resistances in Bug/Dark/Electric/Fire/Grass/Rock/Fire
- Kommo-o also has 3 useful abilities in Soundproof, Bullet Proof, and Overcoat which all have their uses
- Great movepool which allows for mixed capabilities
- Average offensive stats, which are both outclassed by better offensive Dragons
- Unfortunately, its average speed tier leaves it outsped by better wall breakers in the tier
- Defensively weak to common Pokemon in the tier

Moves
========
- Substitute to avoid status, and put your health at 75%, so when you BD you will be at 25% to activate Salac Berry
- Belly Drum to maximize Att, and paired with Substitute will be able to set up safely, and " "
- Drain Punch is used to recover all the damage dealt when setting up, and also helps to be able to set up again if taken previous damage
- Shadow Claw helps the most with coverage being able to nail everything Drain Punch can't, and hits more mons for neutral, that the other 2 moves can't, Gliscor most importantly
- Alternatively Fire Punch can be used to hit Doublade, Amoonguss, and Celebi for super effective damage and KO, whereas Drain fails to pick up the KO
- Poison Jab is really helpful for nailing the fairy types in the tier such as Azumarril, Mega Altaria, Primarina, and Togekiss
Set Details
========
- The evs are the to maximize the Att and Speed of this mon, as it wants to outspeed all it can, and hit as hard as possible
- The only really important ev is the 4 hp, where it gives Kommo-o even hp so after a sub + BD it will activate the Salac Berry at 25%
Usage Tips
========
- Kommo-o is one of the better win cons in the tier with this set.
- Do not attempt to use it before in the battle too much, as Kommo-o wants to be above 75% for when it's ready to set up and sweep.
- Preserve it until all faster scarfer mons are gone, like Latias and Hydreigon.
- Be careful around Crobat, as it can go right through the sub and pick up the KO.
- Try to set up on more passive mons like Alomomola, Rotom, Empoleon, and even Sylveon.
Team Options
========
- Aurora Veil works great with Kommo-o, as it furthers its alread above average bulk
- Pursuit Trappers like Alolan Muk greatly help eliminate Latias, while also being able to take on scarf variants of Hydreigon
- Kommo-o loves having free switchins, so some Volt/turn is always nice
- Kommo-o also appreciates a way to get around Quagsire, so either T spike support, or a way to get rid of Quag like strong special attackers are nice

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
- Dragon Dance is the name of the set, and turns Kommo-o into a scary Sweeper
- Close Combat is its most powerful STAB fighting move, and is easily spammable due to its 100 accuracy
- Outrage provides a 1 time nuke with the Z move, capable of OHKO'ing mons like Amoonguss, and Mega Stoise, Rotom-W (most of the time).
- Poison Jab helps deal with the fairy types in the tier, Togekiss, Azumarril, Sylveon, while also hitting Celebi
- Iron Tail is more powerful than Jab, but more innacurate risk v reward there
- Earthquake is always welcomed coverage, and hits mons like Tentacruel for more damage, but than Kommo-o is walled by Togekiss, and has a harder time dealing with fairies
Set Details
========
- Max Attack investment allows Kommo-o as hard as possible
- Max speed is essential as at +1 it can outspeed Mega Aero, the fastest mon in the tier
- Dragonium Z allows Kommo-o to use Z outrage, which allows a one time nuke, and not to be locked into Outrage
Usage Tips
========
- Dragon Dance Kommo-o should be used as a wincon, when its checks/counters are weakened
- Be sure to scout for faster scarfers, like Hydreigon and Latias
- If Overcoat, don't be afraid to set up on Amoongus, as its immune to powder moves such as Spore
========
- Aurora Veil is great for Kommo-o as it increases its natural bulk further
- Pursuit Trappers such as Alolan Muk helps trap faster Pokemon like Latias
- Breakers like CB Entei help wear down and burn everything for Kommo-o to clean up
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
- Specs seems good on paper, since it also has Clanging Scales, are more spammable, but slightly weaker Draco, and a great Special movepool, but is mostly outclassed by other special dragons like Lati and Hydreigon
- Mixed Wallbreaker is also an option, but again, it outclassed by Hydreigon with its superior mixed capabilities and better speed
Checks and Counters
===================
**Crobat**: Crobat can easily come in on a sub, and Brave Bird right past it
**Quagsire**: Quagsire is a straight stop to all physical Kommo-o's as it stops/prevents the sweep from happening
**Klefki**: Klefki can take on DD variants of Kommo-o lacking Eq, as it lives a +1 Close Combat, and does not let BD set up
**Faster Scarfers**: Latias and Hydreigon outspeed at +1 and can ko back
**Hippowdon**: This mon counters the BD variant as it tanks a +6 Drain Punch and can Whirlwind Kommo-o out
**Tentacruel**: Tenta takes on both sets, as it tanks +6 Shadow Claw, and +1 Z Outrage, and can threaten with haze, and Liquid Ooze in BD's case
