Team Options
========
- Basically anything that can switch into special Grass- and Electric attacks well, such as Amoonguss, will work; Alomomola is easily defeated by these Attacks.
- Cleric Support is really good, as Alomomola is severally crippled by Poison. Aromatisse is a good example.
- Pokemon that can take advantage of Alomomola's Wish support are also handy, especially when they can take care of Alomomola's weaknesses after.

Checks & Counters
########
**Grass-types** Amoonguss and Rotom-Mow can easily tank Scald and strike back with one of their STAB attacks.
**Electric-types** Pokemon such as Jolteon and Heliolisk can set up a substitute and OHKO Alomomola with a Thunderbolt or another Electric-type move.
**Reuniclus** Reuniclus is immune to Toxic damage thanks to Magic Guard and can set up on Alomomola after.
**Substitute** Substitute Attackers such as Meloetta, Gallade and Virizion, can use Substitute and easily set up on Alomomola after, that may cause serious trouble.
**Status** Toxic reduces Alomomola's HP every turn and slowly wears it down.
