When it has a 10/10 ebin sweper typing? Yes, it should be. Believe it or not some types are good at some roles and bad at others.

On top of having defensive stats on a offensive typing, it has no good moves to exploit it's stabs, no coverate and doesn't even has recovery.

Komoo-o is a total joke. You have to try REAL hard to fuck up a Dragon/Fighting with 600BST.

The problem with Kommo-o is the lack of moves. When your best fighting type move as a fighting type yourself is fucking sky uppercut, you know something is wrong.

Now its clear that its purpose was meant to be a tank rather than a sweeper given its defenses and attack. But then why doesn't it have access to drain punch? Or any of the elemental punches for that matter? Seriously, what sense does it make for Dragonite to be able to learn all 3 of the elemental punches naturally yet the dragon/FIGHTING type can't learn even one of them in any capacity?

It has better STABs and it doesn't pretend to be a defensive Pokemon.

Kommo-o's physical attack is higher than its special attack but its physical movepool is so shit that it has to run special moves anyway. And the best fighting STAB it gets on the special side is fucking focus miss.

Dragon/Fighting is not a great offensive typing. You're still easily stopped by any fairy type since the best Kommo-O can do is a Poison Jab off 110 Attack with no other boosts. That's not to mention there are still many Steels that can take its hits.

Dragon/Ground is a superior offensive typing and neither Flygon or Garchomp are powerhouse sweepers. You could argue that Garchomp is a good offensive Pokemon, but in order to boost both its Attack and Speed to sweep it needs to run Sub + Swords Dance with Salac Berry.

There a very few Pokemon right now that can successfully pull off the traditional sweeper role like Ttar and Mence used to.

First of all, I said Garchomp is a good offensive Pokemon. I just said it can't sweep effectively. Learn to read idiot.

Also, like I said, Dragon/Fighting's best coverage in the final moveslot is Poison Jab. Without some boosting ability like Tough Claws that's not enough. Weak coverage doesn't cut it any more and you'd need something stronger like Gunk Shot, a damage boosting ability, or obscene attack.

It can't even OHKO properly a UU glass cannon sweeper like Gardevoir. Not even Choice Specs Flash Cannon can do anything reliably, not to mention the fact he is slower than every single pokemon tested against (Gardevoir test is scarf one) and gets 1KO 100% back garantee.

Kommo-o is trash.

Has the "pseudo-legendary" title ever been an official thing? I think we can't expect a Pokémon to be good just because of the 600 BST anymore. Like, at all.
It's really obvious that >>32474452 was the one meant to be actually good among the Alola mons, along with a few others. I don't think they cared about making Kommo-o good, they just thought about it as a Totem Boss (which is stupid anyway, since one out of three starters, A-Ninetales and Mimikyu trivialize it completely, but whatever)

There's several "fixes" that Kommo-o could get. The easiest to do is to take a cue from Blaziken and receive several very high base power attacks. Even at 110 attack, High Jump Kick would let it close in on Salamence for raw damage output.

Yes, there is still a sliver of hope for it if move tutors come around and are kind to it. As it stands it is a long way from being good.

It's best feature is Clanging Scales which would lend to a bulky special attacking set, but even then it still barely warrants a team slot.

Kommo-o is simply two generations too late. If it were released in Gen 5 at the height of Terrakion/Keldeo/etc, it'd be great. You wouldn't even need more than Sky Uppercut because stuff like Darmanitan were outliers in terms of raw power outside of Ubers. But after Fairies came both Dragon and Fighting took a huge hit, and the power thresholds changed significantly with the introduction of megas and all sorts of minmaxed stuff. It's sorta like what happened to Gen 3 Metagross compared to Gen 5: counters were added, moves were nerfed, the meta was unkind to it and it couldn't keep up with the rest of the game. Too bad Kommo-o never even had a Gen 3 Metagross moment to begin with.

>Worser than Flygon as a Dragon Dance sweeper

That's because his niche lies in being a Substitute Belly Drum Salac Berry sweeper. It cheeses the Super Battle Tree Singles like you have no idea, to the point the only thing it would actually need to be even better is fuckin' Drain Punch.

But yeah, don't use it as a DD/SD/Choice/Mixed sweeper. Every other dragon ever can do that sort of thing better.

I think I can pinpoint where this thread went wrong. This thread was having a discussion about sweepers and someone comes along talking about Garchomp.

Someone says that Garchomp can't sweep with 102 speed and no way to boost it without scarf. Then the other person thinks people are saying 102 is bad speed (false) when really they mean it is bad for a sweeper with no other way to boost (true).

The chompposter has made a fool of themselves by not realising this mistake, but at the end of the day it is just a comprehension error, not /vp/ being bad at competitive.

How are Lele and Chomp sweeping while only being locked into one move or with unboosted speed?

Assuming you're claiming they will sweep with a scarf, how is this going to eventuate? Will your opponent just let all of their Psychic resists die? Will they just not have any ground immunities?

Think it through man.

You retards in this thread are all fucking aruging two separate things.

One retard is arguing that 102 Speed is "not fast enough to be a sweeper", using Choice Scarf Lele as an example of a common Scarfer that that will outspeed it if it tries to SD sweep. For some reason, this retard is arguing that 102 Speed is too low for Garchomp to sweep SPECIFICALLY when it runs its SD set, even though clearly it's Scarf set is just as capable of sweeping with Lele (minus the obvious downside of being unable to click Dragon moves if Fairies are still alive on the opponents team, but that's irrelevant to the point of having "enough" Speed for a Sweeper).

The other retards are all taking about setup Sweepers, not Scarfers (who can't Boost), and whether 102 Speed suffices for that.

You've both ended up talking across each other's points and both looking stupid in the process. Nobody suggested SD Scarfchomp in this thread, that was only retard one one side misunderstanding the post of a retard on the other.

Everything you say here is right but the Garchomp discussion was originally and exclusively about SDChomp and then some guy that everyone made fun of said it could sweep with 102. Everyone tells him no and then he adds a scarf. It obviously can't sweep with either so I think people mocked him further under the assumption he didn't know how Choice Scarf worked.

Yes because this thread is full of retards who can't read and can't use context. No one was talking about Garchomp outspeeding or not outspeeding Tapu Lele.

You just don't get it. This isn't sweeping unless your opponent lets it happen. These aren't sets you can put in a team and expect it to reliably (if at all) sweep teams against competent opponents.

Do you know how much that takes? Your average team doesn't just have one check to Lele/Chomp and 5 others that get OHKO'd.

And even if it did, your opponent is never going to let that happen, unless your playing at 1200 elo, and I hope you're not.

Of the OU tier, the best ones are Zard X, Mega Gyarados, Mega Pinsir, Salamence, Scolipede, Volcarona, and Zygarde.

Celesteela, Landorus, Magearna and Sand Rush Excadrill are also pretty good.

Mega Scizor, Mega Mawile and Mimikyu are not as reliable as those mentioned above, but are still much more capable than Lele and Chomp.

Which they are. Remove or weaken their counters and they can sweep fine. "Sweeper" doesn't mean "can instantly delete every Pokemon the opponent sends out." No Pokemon in the game can just magically beat every possible Pokemon unless it's something that's broken and should be banned.

>Generally, Tapu Lele will be looking to sweep by using its Psychic-type STAB attack, so removing Dark- and Steel-types is essential. Landorus-T, Rotom-W, and Heatran are very good at this, as they are able to switch into and beat common checks. Magnezone is a huge help at removing Steel-types, as it is able to trap and remove annoyances such as Skarmory, Celesteela, and Ferrothorn.
