[OVERVIEW]
<p>Unlike his
alleged cousin Luvdisc, Alomomola is very bulky and
supports his teamwell very much a team player when it comes to support. Blessed with pure Water-typing and a great HP stat, Alomomola is capable of filling the role of "bulky water" quite well, keeping a variety of powerful threats at bay. Access to Wish is Alomomola's biggest use of all; thanks to
Wish this move, Alomomola can pass Wishes of up to 267 HP to his teammates
, (in addition to using it as a
reliable way method of
reliable self-healing
).</p>
<p>However, it isn't all pink hearts and sunshine for Alomomola. A small movepool and poor
offenses offensive stats let Alomomola down
. quite a bit, meaning Outside of Toxic, Alomomola often struggles to damage his opponents. Because of this, while being useful as a check to offensive teams, he is often setup bait for many Pokemon, particularly defensive threats such as Nattorei. Lastly, Alomomola is often overshadowed by Vaporeon, who has more Special Defense and also
hits harder with packs a more powerful STAB attack.</p>

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>A Wish set is Alomomola's most viable option for competitive play, and thanks to his natural bulk
he it is capable of pulling it off quite well. With the given EV spread, Alomomola can pass 249 HP Wishes
, while maintaining great physical bulk
. - When at full health, Alomomola is even capable of taking a +2 Earthquake from Life Orb
Excadrill Doryuuzu at full health. While base 75 Attack is quite low, it is still usable in conjunction with STAB Waterfall to ward off threats such as Heatran, Blaziken,
Excadrill Doryuuzu, and
Chandelure Shandera. Toxic works well with Protect in the last slot as it will wear down the enemy with each passing turn. The EVs hit a jump point in Defense
, while
then increasing Alomomola's Special Defense as much as possible
. before needing The remaining EVs
are put into HP, and to hit a Leftovers benchmark.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>Aqua Jet is an option over Waterfall because of its ability to pick off weakened foes; however, due to Alomomola's low Attack it will often prove underwhelming.
As far as filler moves go, Alomomola has several options aside from Toxic. Light Screen can be used to cushion
powerful blows from special attackers,
while Mirror Coat can deflect said blows should Alomomola survive them. Refresh is also an option, as it allows Alomomola to
not be crippled by Toxic or any other status shrug off poison, paralysis or burn. It should also be noted that this set faces fierce competition from Vaporeon. The standard Vaporeon has 448/240/243
defenses, while Alomomola has 498/264/182
defenses
, in the order of HP / Defense / Special Defense;. Alomomola boasts more HP and Defense, while Vaporeon is more Specially Defensive and
also has greater offensive power. In general, Vaporeon is the superior choice unless you
really need Alomomola's superior physical bulk and larger
Wishes.</p>
[Team Options]
<p>Alomomola's
niche is best suited for best niche is on a team that benefits from the large amount of threats that it
holds in check
s, thanks to its great physical bulk. Pokemon that benefit from large Wishes will appreciate Alomomola as well, as it has the highest HP stat of all Pokemon that know Wish (with the exception of Blissey and Chansey). Coincidentally, Blissey makes a great partner, as she is capable of sponging special hits aimed at Alomomola while Alomomola can take
physical hits aimed at Blissey. Grass-types in general also pair well with Alomomola as they resist
his its only two weaknesses, Grass
- and Electric
-type moves.</p>
[Optional Changes]
<p>Alomomola can utilize a Calm Mind set; however, its meager 40 Base Special Attack makes Suicune a more appealing option for such a role. A specially defensive set is also viable but usually not worth it
, as it is outclassed by Vaporeon in nearly every way. Alomomola does have several other options on his
Wish set, though
- . Boiling Water Scald can be used
rather than over Waterfall, and while Alomomola won't be inflicting as much damage this way, it can still be useful as a pseudo-double status set. Light Screen, Mirror Coat, and Refresh are also
all viable alternatives to Toxic
on the Wish set, although are usually not preferred.</p>
[Counters]
<p>Any strong Special attack that isn't resisted
should will normally 2HKO Alomomola. Most Electric- and Grass-type moves will OHKO as well, although
it should be noted that Grass Knot only has 60 Base Power against Alomomola. Pokemon that don't fear Toxic and aren't weak to Waterfall will also set up
all over on Alomomola; examples include Lucario, Scizor, Forretress, Skarmory, Roobushin, and Nattorei.</p>
