Comatose: It’s always drowsing and will never wake up. It can attack without waking up.

Nice for lower tier! This is quite random and we all know isn't a luck-based game.
Seems a filler for the in-game pokedex. At least you can't be poisoned, burned or paralyzed. Not much else to say.

It could make a decent Bulk Up user à la Miltank, since it has neat Special Defense and doesn't care about burns. Reliance on Wish to heal and poor coverage sucks, though.

A bit irrelevant, but GameFreak was really generous with boosting moves and U-Turn this generation. I can't see a Pokemon that's always asleep do any type of dance, let alone a Swords Dance.
 
Haha I find Ironic that this doesnt get rest. It looked like it would probably evolve to.

I could see it having a CB set with that kind of attack and Immunity to Scald burns and Willowisp or a Utility or boosting attacker set. This is definitly one of the worst new pokemon I have seen easily. It not complete shit like Unknown but its like a step above.
 
The fact that its two best stats are Attack and Sp.Def would make it proficient with an Assault Vest.
And it's access to Wish gives it good sustain, allowing it to support a bit.
(Not both at the same time, or course).
 
Shocked that this think has an attack that high but also disappointed at the lower defense, honestly wouldve preferred its defense and attack swapped lol...if you can get bulk ups off it has a high enough special defense that you could actually get some work in. gonna have to run Wish cuz unfortunately it didnt get Slack Off, get Sucker Punch which could be good priority if youre 115 at +2, Return is obviously good stab, get EQ but overall coverage is poor. Hey Im just glad its not complete trash.
 
feel like they shouldve really ditched the sp.atk seeing as its only special moves are hidden power and then spit up. like the rest of you have mentioned before, it really needed some better defensive stat. i understand that it has a great ability but it feels almost wasted with the defense stat. fighting type just wrecks it.

on a lighter side. you can accomplish some shenanigans with stockpile and then stockpile z move (100% recovery) its a one time recovery option, but seeing as it doesnt get rest its the only option (besides stockpile/swallow, but that just nullifies the stat raises unfortunately)

does comatose mean that it cant get confused from thrash? :3

Don't forget Round! But yeah, the Sp. Atk is pretty unnecessary, so it could've been bulkier.

I doubt that Comatose will stop confusion. Odds are it only prevents non-volatile status ailments.

But yeah, this movepool is not shit, and neither are those stats. Bulk Up, Swords Dance, Stockpile, Yawn, Wish, Rapid Spin, Wood Hammer, Play Rough, Sucker Punch, Earthquake (how?), Acrobatics, Brick Break, Low Sweep, AND U-Turn, and it can attack while asleep...WHAT IS THIS THING?!?

Congratulations NU - you know have the best Mono-normal wallberaker this side of Stoutland, with a support movepool on the side :P
(Maybe Kangaskan/Zangoose, but the former suffers from burn - and the latter just puts itself on a timer, really, as hard as it CAN hit.)

EDIT: Komala get's Rapid Spin... just food for thought :D

haha I know, that's why I mentioned that it does XP This thing is just over one foot tall and is always half asleep, and its got a higher BST than Breloom, Skarmory, Forretress, and Crawdaunt. I say we test it for steroids.

Geez, Komala packs a punch (or rather a swinging kick)! And from what I can tell that's what it's mainly going to do: dish out a lot of damage. Only other decent stat is Special Defense, but it has low HP and Speed so it'll probably focus on doing as much damage as it can. Well, when it isn't resting that is. Thinking about it maybe GF knew what they were doing when basing a Pokemon on a koala: cute, violent, and sleeps a lot (and it learns Toxic and the Stockpile/Swallow/Spit Up moves too!).

Wait, that's that? IT DOESN'T GET REST? Well that's a missed opportunity, especially if you gave it Sleep Talk and Snore *sigh*. Well not only does it get Thrash but Rapid Spin so you can choose a powerful STAB or one that's more meant for utility. Well Normal-type so it has a lot of coverage: Rollout (+ Defense Curl), Sucker Punch, Wood Hammer, Earthquake, Brick Break, Acrobatics, Shadow Claw, Payback, Rock Slide, and U-turn (also a utility). Speaking or utility we pretty much covered them all: Rapid Spin, U-turn, and Stockpile/Swallow/Spit Up; there's also Yawn. Egg Moves offers Play Rough and Sing (and Wish though its HP is on the low side).

Despite its heavy hitting, I can't really see Komala making much waves aside as a Rapid Spinner. Had it gotten Rest/Sleep Talk/Snore then maybe it could have had something, but alas.
