The Komodo dragon commands respect as a potent setup sweeper in UU! After one Dragon Dance boost, Kommo-o outspeeds and OHKOes some of the top offensive threats in the tier, such as Greninja and Excadrill. The combination of Drain Punch and Thunder Punch allows Kommo-o to hit a majority of the tier for at least neutral damage. Taunt aids greatly versus defensive Pokemon, preventing Pokemon like Rotom-W and Skeledirge from impeding Kommo-o's setup progress via Will-O-Wisp. Soundproof blocks Torch Song, letting Kommo-o beat Skeledirge in a one-on-one with Taunt + Tera. Not only does Tera Electric remove Kommo-o's regular weaknesses, it also boosts the power of Thunder Punch, granting an OHKO on Tornadus-T and Azumarill. Tera Electric also allows Kommo-o to safely set up on Zapdos, as well as removing the worry of Static. Latios, one of the only Pokemon Kommo-o can't hit at least neutrally, happens to be one of the best Pokemon in the tier, so teammates that can safely switch into it, such as Tinkaton and Assault Vest Tornadus-T, are extremely valuable partners. Both of these Pokemon can also help versus Hydrapple, another Pokemon Kommo-o struggles to deal with.
