Komala is a rather unorthodox Pokemon with a very interesting ability in Comastose. However, it has a rather small amount of versatility which confines it to a decent Bulk Up set or a utility set with support options in Wish and Rapid Spin which U-turn to boot.
Potential Sets
Komala @ Leftovers
Ability: Comatose
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Bulk Up
- Return
- Shadow Claw / Sucker Punch
- Wish
This sets focuses on using Komala as a bulky sweeper due to its access to Bulk Up. A specially defensive spread is used as Bulk Up increases Defense as well as Attack. Return is a relatively powerful STAB. Shadow Claw allows Komala to hit Ghost-types which are immune to Return. Sucker Punch is another option that mitigates its poor Speed while still hitting Ghosts at the expense of PP and reliability. Wish is Komala's only source of recovery that gives it much needed longevity aside from Leftovers.
Komala @ Leftovers
Ability: Comatose
EVs: 248 HP / 116 Def / 144 SpD
Impish Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Wish
- Protect
- Toxic
This set utilizes Komala as a modestly bulky support Pokemon with access to Rapid Spin and Wish. Rapid Spin removes hazards on your side of the field and Wish provides longevity as well as a source of recovery for the entire team. Protect guarantees Komala can heal itself with Wish and Toxic is used to make up for its lack of offensive presence.
Conclusion
Komala doesn't show a lot of promise as an OU threat despite an excellent ability due to its mediocre stats and shallow movepool. It's a prime example of a Pokemon that lacks the extra "oomph" to make it a solid choice.
