Galvanize (Kommo-o) @ Life Orb / Throat Spray
Ability: Galvanize
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Boomburst
- Clanging Scales
- Close Combat
- Stealth Rock / Clangorous Soul
[SET COMMENTS]
Kommo-o finds a decent niche on offensive teams as a mixed attacker with strong coverage. Boomburst scares off walls such as Mandibuzz, Corviknight, and Manaphy. Clanging Scales threatens Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Pecharunt, while Close Combat notably allows Kommo-o to smack special walls like Blissey, Swampert, and Volt Absorb Empoleon attempting to check it. Stealth Rock synergizes well with Kommo-o's ability to scare away entry hazard removers like the aforementioned Mandibuzz and Corviknight. Clangorous Soul allows it to act as a passable setup sweeper instead, preventing threats like Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder from revenge killing it while increasing its offensive capabilities. Life Orb is typically preferred for its consistent damage boost, but Throat Spray can be used on Clangorous Soul sets to avoid recoil. Kommo-o's lack of longevity necessitates either teammates that can make up for its absent defensive utility like Corviknight and Manaphy or offensive teammates that can keep up the pressure like Iron Moth and Chien-Pao. Select revenge killers like Dragonite, Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, and Azelf naturally outspeed Kommo-o even after a Clangorous Soul, so answers to them like Kingambit, Great Tusk, and Roaring Moon make for good partners. Kommo-o appreciates pivots like Azelf, Walking Wake, and Roaring Moon because they can pivot out on their checks like Blissey, Empoleon, and Corviknight and safely bring it in to start threatening the opposing team. Kommo-o greatly appreciates dual screens support from setters like Corviknight and Deoxys-S allowing it to have an easier time setting up with Clangorous Soul or supporting its teammates with Stealth Rock; alternatively, Sticky Web from Smeargle and Ribombee can help it outspeed Choice Scarf revenge killers like Walking Wake, Azelf, and Roaring Moon after a Clangorous Soul.
