Strategy Overview
Jangmo-o's access to Dragon Dance allows it to function as a late-game sweeper and cleaner on offensive teams. Its ability Bulletproof lets it check some Gastly and Croagunk variants and set up with Dragon Dance. Furthermore, Jangmo-o's useful resistances to Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric can help it find setup opportunities at times. However, it faces serious competition from other Dragon Dance cleaners such as Axew and Dratini; the former has better stats, and the latter has access to Extreme Speed to aid it in cleaning. Also, Jangmo-o finds it difficult to set up, as it's frail, weak, and slow, and consequently heavily reliant on team support. Finally, it struggles with Fairy-types such as Snubbull and Spritzee due to lack of super effective coverage to hit them with.
