Jangmo-o sits in the middle of its evolution line — stronger than Jangmo O but not yet at full power. Most trainers push through to Kommo O as fast as possible. Only weak to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy.
You won't find a real weakness in Jangmo-o's stat line. It's well-rounded for the Scaly Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 1 Defense EV, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
They learn to fight by smashing their head scales together. The dueling strengthens both their skills and their spirits.
Jangmo-o strikes its scales to communicate with others of its kind. Its scales are actually fur that’s become as hard as metal.
Jangmo O Weakness
AvgType-wise, Jangmo O takes extra damage from Ice, Dragon, and Fairy. The Dragon typing picks up 4 resistances to work with.
Jangmo O kicks off a three-stage evolution line through Hakamo O all the way to Kommo O. For breeding, takes forever to hatch with plenty of partners via one egg group. Evolving adds up to 300 stat points total.
How to Evolve
Breed with Jangmo-o to get Jangmo O eggs using 72 partners from the Dragon egg group.
Eviolite makes Jangmo O bulkier than you'd expect from something that still evolves. A spread EV build EVs with Adamant nature handle the stat profile. Ground coverage keeps it from being passive.

Most of Jangmo O's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Draco Meteor and Outrage, but Normal and Fighting and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

Breeding's the move. Counter and Dragon Breath give Jangmo O options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 8 types already covers a decent range on top of Outrage and Dragon Pulse. The egg moves push it further.
Stall teams hate this. Jangmo O can spread damage across 10 types, with Normal and Flying punishing common defensive pivots. STAB from Draco Meteor and Outrage keeps the pressure honest on everything else.
