BSS Alomomola [QC 1/1][GP 1/1]

[Photon]

[SET]
Assault Vest Pivot (Alomomola) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 50
Tera Type: Poison / Fairy
EVs: 52 HP / 212 Def / 244 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Flip Turn
- Mirror Coat
- Scald / Play Rough / Icy Wind
- Aqua Jet / Play Rough / Icy Wind

[SET COMMENTS]
* **Flip Turn and Regenerator combine to make Alomomola one of the hardest pivots to efficiently take out.

* **Mirror Coat**: Alomomola makes excellent use of Mirror Coat with its high base HP, retaliating comfortably against top special attackers like Ursaluna-B and Raging Bolt.

* **Scald**: Scald's moderate burn chance makes Alomomola even more threatening to physical attackers like Chien-Pao and Urshifu-R.

* **Aqua Jet**: Uninvested Aqua Jet may not do much, but it's still useful for picking off common Focus Sash users and Sturdy Archaludon.

* **Play Rough**: Play Rough lets Alomomola deal more direct damage to the likes of Chien-Pao and Urshifu-R, especially when paired with Tera Fairy.

* **Icy Wind**: Icy Wind's speed control can be useful for wallbreakers like Choice Band Chien-Pao and Choice Specs Chi-Yu. Furthermore, targets like defensive Dragonite are still faster than Alomomola after a single Speed drop, allowing it to maintain its safe pivoting support.

Other Options
========

* **Liquidiation**: Liquidation helps Alomomola deal decent overall damage if forced into a situation where it has to play offensively such as against Calm Mind Flutter Mane.

Tera Types
========

* **Tera Dependency - Low / Medium**: Alomomola is extremely difficult to OHKO, and with Terastallization, it can thwart its counters and live even longer! Do note though that losing its original typing can make it much more vulnerable to wallbreakers like Tera Water Urshifu-R.

* **Poison**: Tera Poison grants pivotal Fairy and Grass resistances against Flutter Mane, Rillaboom, and the Ogerpon formes. The immunity to Toxic and Toxic Spikes is also a big help.

* **Fairy**: Tera Fairy helps against Dark- and Fighting-type attacks from Chien-Pao and the Urshifu formes and can be used alongside Play Rough to give Alomomola more kick against these targets.

EV Spreads
========

* **52 HP / 212 Def / 244 SpD with Relaxed**: This EV spread gives Alomomola a balanced defensive profile. The Special Defense investment avoids the OHKO from Modest Choice Specs Chi-Yu's Overheat even if Alomomola is Terastallized.

* **188 HP / 76 Def / 244 SpD with Relaxed**: This spread contributes extra to surviving special attacks; in particular it has an approxiately 90% chance to avoid the 2HKO from Modest Choice Specs Flutter Mane's Moonblast as well as having about a 75% chance to avoid the 2HKO from Timid Choice Specs Chi-Yu's Dark Pulse. Enough Defense investment is maintained so that Jolly Chien-Pao's Tera Blast Electric only OHKOes Alomomola on the highest damage roll.

Added the EV spread section as discussed. I also made tweaks to the Liquidation bullet and the Tera Poison bullet.

This is officially ready now.

Thank you both, this is implemented. Also went back to the Icy Wind bullet and made it more specific with the matchups.

I believe this is ready for Dex!
