The Corviknight I posted is a nifty team player, but it’s a slow slog in solos and it’s easy to run out of timer. So I went back to the lab and built the mon below specifically to abuse this Eevee raid. And it’s awesome in solos! I have cleared it solo twice, barely taking any damage and clearing the raid with almost half the timer left both times. Check it out:
Kommo-o @ Clear Amulet
Tera Type: Fighting
Ability: Soundproof
Impish Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Defense
- Body Press
- Drain Punch
- Iron Defense
- Swords Dance
This Kommo-o is basically perfect for the Eevee raid in almost every way. By using the Soundproof ability, you are immune to Eevee’s only special attack, Hyper Voice. That means you are only going to take physical attacks, one of which you resist. And Defense is Kommo-o’s highest base stat anyway, and we go all-in on top of that with Max Impish EVs. We supercharge this defensive beast by boosting with Iron Defense, making it damn-near invulnerable to Eevee. The icing on the cake is to then get double-use out of the monster Defense stat, by using it as the attacking stat with STAB Body Press. It all fits together flawlessly.
If you catch a crit or maybe a Hyper Voice on the ability-wipe turn, then you can heal it back with a Drain Punch. That’s originally why I gave Kommo-o the Clear Amulet, because I didn’t want my attack lowered on the turns where I needed to Drain Punch. But after seeing how it plays in battles, I would leave the Clear Amulet there, even if I DIDN’T have DPunch in the moveset. Here’s why: Eevee is obsessed with Charm against this Kommo-o! I’m not sure exactly what’s going on with the AI, but it seems to know that Soundproof makes Hyper Voice pointless, and that defensively Kommo-o is through the roof after a single Iron Defense so it doesn’t want to Double-Edge. And like we have noted many times in the past, the AI simply never recognizes that Clear Amulet is canceling the Charm effect. So it just uses Charm over and over again most of the time! Honestly the ONLY turns that I even care what it uses is the wipe turn, because both Soundproof and my ID boosts are gone. But even on those turns, it’s amazing how often Eevee chooses to use Charm, which is negated, because the wipe turn doesn’t affect Held Items. I love it!
I put Swords Dance in there just in case I need to get a little more oomph out of my Drain Punch after a crit or something, but it’s not essential.
In my first build of this, I made Kommo-o with a Lax nature because I wanted to thumb my nose at Eevee’s inability to use Hyper Voice. And because I don’t think I have ever used a Lax Mint EVER lol! And it worked just fine, tbh. But to be truly optimized, it is remiss to lower your SpDef instead of SpAtk when you have a chance to take a special hit on the rare occasions of the ability-wiped turns. So yeah, I went to Impish, like a responsible adult should.
I wouldn’t recommend this mon for anyone other than tinkerers that like making raid-specific mons. But if you have the means, Kommo-o is near-perfect for this Eevee raid.
