[SET COMMENTS]
With an Assault Vest, Alomomola's Special Defense is bolstered , which allows it to act as a powerful defensive pivot. Alomomola’s defensive capabilities are improved by Regenerator, allowing it to pivot reliably. Alomomola provides valuable utility for its team in Knock Off, as it can remove the Leftovers or Heavy-Duty Boots from Pokemon like Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Zapdos, allowing for Alomomola’s teammates to break easier. Alomomola can use Mirror Coat to deal huge damage and even OHKO unsuspecting special attackers such as Mega Charizard Y, Tapu Koko, and Tapu Lele that switch in because they can break past non-Assault Vest Alomomola. Alomomola also uses Flip Turn to safely bring in powerful attackers like Mega Diancie, Tapu Lele, and Urshifu-R. Alomomola can also use Scald to status opposing Pokemon with burn or Liquidation for a STAB move that can avoid letting foes such as Volcarona turn it into setup fodder.
Assault Vest Alomomola is very valuable on offense and balance teams due to its ability to check a wide variety of Pokemon and bring in your team's attackers via Flip Turn. Alomomola can switch into powerful physical attackers such as Urshifu-R, non-Choice Band Zamazenta, and Hisuian Samurott. Alomomola can also take powerful Water-type attacks from Urshifu-R, Hisuian Samurott, and Tapu Fini. It is also able to check and use Mirror Coat to OHKO powerful special attackers like Gholdengo, Tapu Lele, and Mega Diancie. This becomes more difficult to pull off once you reveal Alomomola's Assault Vest set, as Mirror Coat is easy to predict;this makes hiding Alomomola's set important for picking up OHKOs on unsuspecting special attackers. Despite all of this, Assault Vest Alomomola cannot wall some strong physical attackers like Ogerpon-W and Choice Banded Band Zamazenta. This causes Pokemon that can deal with these aforementioned foes like Pecharunt and Landorus-Therian Landorus-T to be valuable partners. In return, Alomomola can easily take on Pokemon they can’t handle like Tapu Lele. Alomomola can also struggle with special attacking Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko. Because of this, Alomomola appreciates Ground-types like Ting-Lu and specially defensive Gliscor . Alomomola, in return, can wall Water-types like Urshifu-R, which they dread. Due to Assault Vest Alomomola’s reliance on its item to check special attackers, it greatly dislikes having it removed. This makes Knock Off absorbers like Gliscor, Mega Scizor, and Mega Venusaur great partners, while Alomomola can take the Fire-type attacks the latter two dislike and the Water-type attacks Gliscor hates. Alomomola’s defensive capabilities can also be crippled by entry hazards, which leads to hazard removers like Great Tusk, Terapagos, and Landorus-T being valuable. Pokemon with Magic Bounce like Mega Diancie and Hatterene can also help keep hazards off your side of the field. Powerful attackers like Zamazenta, Mega Diancie, and Ogerpon-W greatly enjoy Alomomola on their team, as it can safely bring them in on offensive threats like Tapu Lele, Terapagos, and Hisuian Samurott.
