Answer 1

Kommo-o @ Kommonium Z
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 192 HP / 104 Atk / 100 Def / 100 SpA / 104 SpD
Quiet Nature
- Clanging Scales
- Close Combat
- Poison Jab
- X-Scissor

Kommonium Z (if you have to use this, like when a Fairy type is in your opponent's party, then use it even if it's not very effective because it raises all stats except evasion and accuracy by one stage and you won't get a chance to use your Z-move when the Fairy type comes).

Moves:
- Clanging Scales (STAB and signature move. Dragon type coverage. It would be best if you use this after your Z-move).
- Close Combat (STAB. Normal, Ice, Rock, Steel, and Dark type coverage. It would be best if you use this after your Z-move).
- Poison Jab (Fairy and Grass type coverage).
- X-Scissor (Psychic, Grass, and Dark type coverage).

Any move or type in bold text (exclude the moves you know), are the moves and types you're weak to.

Comments

How come it isn't all special? It already has Clanging Scales, just give it more special moves like, Focus Blast, Flash Cannon, and other special moves.

Focus Blast misses, all the time, you can't depend on it. Flash Cannon can't poison you like Poison Jab. This Kommo-o isn't meant to be all special. What special move can Kommo-o learn that is super effective against Psychic types? If Kommo-o could learn Aura Sphere (which it can't) maybe I'd consider a special Kommo-o. There's nothing wrong with Kommo-o being mixed because it's z-move raises all it's stats (exclude evasion and accuracy) by one stage which is very good for a mixed Kommo-o. When I say mixed I mean a physical and special Kommo-o.

Answer 2

Gen 7

Kommo-o @ Kommonium Z
Ability: Soundproof
EVs: 252 Atk / 130 SpA / 126 Spe
Bashful Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Clanging Scales
- Close Combat
- Outrage

With Soundproof, it can't get Roar-ed out of battle, immune to Pixilate Hyper Voice
EVS: 252 Attack, 126 Speed, 130 SpA.

Dragon Dance (setup sweep)
Clanging Scales (first turn Z Move)
Close Combat (Fighting STAB)
Outrage (Spam)

He has no coverage, but if set up and no Fairy-types are in play, he is going to heat like a freaking truck. Also Z-Move buffs all stats (except Accuracy + Evasivness)

Comments

These EVs don't get the full potential. 252 128 128 would be better. Also, Clanging Scales isn't strong without special attack boosts, and it type overlaps with Outrage. Coverage would be better

Answer 3

National Dex Monotype

Kommo-o (F) @ Kommonium Z
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Clanging Scales
- Aura Sphere
- Flamethrower
- Substitute

A special set. Clanging Scales is powerful STAB and with the Z-move, boosts all stats by one stage. Flamethrower hits things like Grass and Steel types. Aura Sphere is STAB and covers more types like Normal, Rock, and it can also hit mons Like Heatran. Substitute helps with dodging things like Toxic and helps with taking attacks.
