Komala Best Moveset
115 Attack on Normal with AbilityComatose keeping it permanently asleep, which blocks all other status conditions. MoveSleep Talk always works since it's always sleeping. The moveset fires physical Normal TermStab through Sleep Talk at random from 3 moves. 65 Speed limits the offensive pace. Comatose is a double-edged gimmick: immune to burns and paralysis, but can only use Sleep Talk.
Comatose made Komala permanently asleep in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). Immune to all other status. Sleep Talk was the only way to attack. 115 Attack behind the gimmick.

Komala Weakness
Komala's Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. Komala's special bulk (base 95 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
