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.

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 Draco Meteor and Outrage. The egg moves push it further.

CHALLENGING
  • At 300 BST, Jangmo-o is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.

  • Jangmo-o's biggest threats include Walrein (Ice), Garchomp (Dragon), and Mimikyu (Fairy), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.

  • Jangmo-o evolves into Hakamo O at level 35. Jangmo-o is the base form in a 3-stage evolutionary line.

  • Bulletproof is the go-to ability for Jangmo-o. It protects against bullet, ball, and bomb-based moves. Its hidden ability Overcoat can work in specific setups. Soundproof is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.

  • Jangmo-o is leaning toward the physical side (base 55 Attack). Fragile — can't afford to take many hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.

  • Jangmo-o can be found in Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.

Since Sun & Moon, Jangmo O has been obtainable in 4 games. A Generation 7 debut means a shorter history, but Jangmo O has appeared steadily across every generation since.
