[SET COMMENTS]
Alomomola's massive HP stat allows it to be an effective user of Wish to support its ability to give teammates safe entry through Flip Turn. It can make use of Toxic to wear down opposing Pokemon that switch in on it and Pokemon that try setting up on it such as Terapgos, Ogerpon-W, and Great Tusk. Alomomola also appreciates Protect as a way to ensure it is able to use Wish and regain its own HP safely, scout opposing Pokemon's moves, notably Choice-locked attackers such as Dragapult and Tapu Lele as well as being able to build up Toxic damage on foes like Garchomp and Terapagos. Heavy-Duty Boots are another great tool for Alomomola, allowing it to safely switch into hazards to gain back health safely with Regenerator and use Wish to support teammates. The EV spread and Relaxed nature used allows Alomomola to comfortably sponge up hits from strong Physical attackers such as Kingambit, Urshifu-R, and Great Tusk, while a Sassy nature allows it to have a more comfortable matchup into Mega-Diancie and Terapagos. Alomomola makes use of 8 HP EVs to remain at an odd number HP stat so it can switch into hazards more optimally if it's Heavy-Duty Boots are removed.
Slower Pokemon that lack reliable recovery, like Ursaluna, Kingambit, and Melmetal, appreciate Alomomola's ability to bring them in safely and recover their HP with Wish against bulky Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn. Frail Pokemon such Iron Valiant and Dragapult also appreciate Alomomola's ability to safely get them on the field with Flip Turn. Alomomola's vulnerability to Grass- and Electric-type Pokemon like Rillaboom, Tapu Koko, and Kartana make Raging Bolt and Ferrothorn excellent partners due to their ability to easily shrug them off and regain whatever health is lost through Alomomola's ability to safely Wish pass into these Pokemon.
