VGC Kommo-o

[Choruto]

[OVERVIEW]
* Kommo-o is a strong setup sweeper thanks to its excellent defensive stats and access to STAB Body Press. Its defensive typing gives it critical resistances to the signature moves of both Urshifu formes, which ignore the Defense boosts from Iron Defense. With proper support, Kommo-o is capable of becoming extremely difficult to remove once it starts setting up Iron Defense, making it an extremely effective sweeper.

* Kommo-o appreciates teammates that help it set up more easily. Incineroar and Amoonguss are great at this, with Incineroar being able to cycle Fake Out and Parting Shot, while Amoonguss provides Spore as well as redirection support. Both give Kommo-o turns to set up and more room to maneuver, and they also have strong defensive synergy with Kommo-o. Ting-Lu is another great partner, as it can whittle down foes with Ruination, and its ability Vessel of Ruin makes Kommo-o harder to remove.

* Ironically, one of Kommo-o's biggest weaknesses is its typing. While Its numerous resistances are valuable, namely into the Ogerpon and Urshifu formes, in exchange, it is weak to a whole host of common offensive types. Strong attackers such as Flutter Mane, Raging Bolt, and Chien-Pao hit Kommo-o for super effective damage, with the former two being special attackers and the latter using Sacred Sword, meaning they all ignore Iron Defense boosts. Kommo-o is often forced to Terastallize, and requires careful positioning around threats to conserve its HP for a late game sweep.

[SET]
Iron Defense Sweeper (Kommo-o) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
Level: 50
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Atk / 36 Def / 100 SpD / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- Iron Head
- Iron Defense
- Protect

[SET COMMENTS]
* Iron Head is used to hit Flutter Mane, which is immune to Body Press.

* Leftovers is used for extra recovery, since Kommo-o will be on the field for long periods of time.

* Overcoat is picked for an immunity to powder moves, allowing it to ignore Amoonguss, which can otherwise redirect a resisted Body Press and slow it down with Spore.

* The Special Defense investment allows Kommo-o to live a Blood Moon from Life Orb Ursaluna-B and makes Shadow Ball from Special Attack Booster Energy Flutter Mane a 3HKO. On the physical side, the Defense investment allows Kommo-o to comfortably live Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash, as well as making Urshifu-S's Wicked Blow a 3HKO after Terastallizing into Steel. The Attack investment gives the best chance for an OHKO on Flutter Mane with Iron Head after Terastallizing into Steel.

* Tera Steel has the best synergy with Kommo-o's original typing since it provides resistances to every type that Kommo-o is weak to. It also gives STAB to Iron Head, allowing for a favorable roll to OHKO Flutter Mane

[OVERVIEW]
* Kommo-o is a strong set up sweeper thanks to it's excellent defensive stats spread and access to STAB boosted (Spread sounds weird when looking at specific stats, Boost is in the STAB acronym.) Body Press. It's defensive typing gives it a critical resistances to both Urshifu formes's secondary STAB moves, which are some of the most common answers to set up sweepers. (Not necessarily true considering set up sweepers arent always IDBP, can reword it to mention how they ignore defense boosts.) With proper support, Kommo-o is capable of becoming extremely difficult to remove once it starts setting up Iron Defenses, making it an extremely effective sweeper.

* Kommo-o appreciates teammates that help it set up easier. Incineroar and Amoonguss are great at this, with Incineroar being able to cycle Fake out and Parting Shot to give Kommo-o room to maneuver, while Amoonguss provides Spore as well as redirection support, both giving Kommo-o turns to set up. (Amoonguss does pre much the same thing. Can reword it if you want to but make sure its at the end.) Both also have strong defensive synergy with Kommo-o. Ting Lu is another great partner, as it can whittle down foes with Ruination and its ability Vessel of Ruin can further boost make Kommo-o's survivability harder to remove.

* Ironically, one of Kommo-o's biggest weaknesses is its typing. While resisting the elemental types and Urshifu formes is valuable its elemental and dark resistances are valuable, namely into the Ogerpon and Urshifu formes (Will leave this up to you but reads of weird and misleads people into thinking you mean wall Urshifus or Urshifu-R not being one of the elemental resistances.), it trades off with being weak to a whole host of common offensive types. Strong attackers such as Flutter Mane, Raging Bolt, and Chien-Pao hit Kommo-o for super effective, with the former 2 being Special Attackers and thus ignoring Iron Defense boosts, and Sacred Sword from Chien-Pao bypassing Defensive stat changes , meaning they all ignore Iron Defense boosts. (Moved it here to cut the Dex info.) Kommo-o is forced to terastallize almost every game often, (Not true and misleading thanks to how valuable Teras on other mons are, can look at stats and see it Terastallize often, but def like less than half of the games.) and requires careful positioning around threats to conserve its HP for a late-game sweep.

* Tera Steel has the best synergy with Kommo-o's original type, and provides many resistances. It also gives a STAB boost to Iron Head, allowing for a positive roll on an OHKO on Flutter Mane.
