Summary
- Dragon-type Pokemon like Kommo-o face criticism for impractical Energy requirements and low popularity.
- Despite potential synergies with other cards, Kommo-o faces skepticism in becoming a meta-shifting Dragon-type due to its setup challenges.
As a dedicated Pokémon TCG Pocket gamer, I’ve noticed the uproar among fellow trainers about the new Dragon-type Pokemon, Kommo-o. Many are labeling it “useless” due to several valid concerns. Since its introduction, Dragon cards have been under fire for their complex Energy setup, which typically demands multiple types of Energy. This complexity makes them challenging to use consistently, and as a result, Dragon-type decks haven’t exactly been the go-to choice among Pokémon TCG Pocket players like me.
In the world of Pocket, Dragon cards have become a recurring amusing topic among players. So far, only Druddigon has managed to make an impact in the game mechanics (Metagame), while other Dragon types have been sidelined in Player vs Player matches. This pattern persisted with the arrival of TCG Pocket’‘s Shining Revelry expansion, which unveiled Wugtrio ex, a Pokemon not of the Dragon kind but boasting an attack similar to Dragonite. Fans were swift to make connections, many referring to Wugtrio ex as “a superior version of Dragonite.” With the introduction of the Celestial Guardians set, it seems that the Dragon-type’s losing streak is likely to continue.
Reddit user Polendri humorously mocked Dragon-type Pokemon on a gaming subreddit by posting a meme entitled “It’s a Dragon-type tradition now.” The humorous cartoon targets Kommo-o’s stats, attack description, and energy requirements, implying it’s another unnecessary and ineffective addition. For those unfamiliar, Kommo-o is an advanced Pokemon that demands one Lightning and one Fighting Energy to inflict 130 damage. However, the catch lies in the fact that after each attack, it takes an additional 30 damage from the opposing player in the subsequent turn. Essentially, players find the card’s risk-reward ratio illogical: it’s challenging to set up, but easy to lose due to its harsh consequences.
Kommo-o Seems to be TCG Pocket’s Latest Letdown
Following Polendri’s mocking post about Kommo-o on Reddit, some enthusiasts contended that the card’s hidden capabilities were being underestimated. Many emphasized its powerful compatibility with the Lightning-type Oricorio, an emerging sensation from the Pokemon TCG Pocket‘s Celestial Guardians expansion. Others hinted at upcoming Trainer Cards, potentially similar to the physical TCG’s Double Dragon Energy, which could eventually transform Kommo-o into a game-changing Dragon-type.
Some enthusiasts are starting to draw parallels between Kommo-o and the Pokemon TCG Pocket version’s Giratina, even humorously predicting that a special ex variant of Kommo-o might disrupt the game strategy much like Giratina ex did. For now, players must be patient as the meta develops to determine which cards will stand out. However, given the current state of competitive play, it’s doubtful that Kommo-o will achieve a high standing. Instead, it appears that the new set’s dominance will primarily belong to the Lightning type, restricting opportunities for innovative or imaginative decks within riskier categories such as the Dragon type.
