They learn to fight by smashing their head scales together. The dueling strengthens both their skills and their spirits.

How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Jangmo-o to get Jangmo O eggs using 72 partners from the Dragon egg group.

Moves
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.
