Alomomola @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 8 HP / 248 Def / 252 SpD
IVs: 0 Spe
Sassy Nature
- Knock Off
- Mirror Coat
- Flip Turn
- Scald/Liquidation
Assault Vest Alomomola uses the item Assault Vest to bolster its Special Defense, which allows it to act as a powerful mixed defensive pivot. Alomomola’s defensive capabilities are improved by the healing provided by its ability Regenerator. Alomomola provides valuable utility for its team in Knock Off, like Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Zapdos. 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. Alomomola can also use Scald to status opposing Pokemon with burn or Liquidation for a STAB move that can consistently damage Volcarona while it’s boosting it’s Special Defense stat
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 teams attackers. Alomomola can switch into power physical attacks such as, Urshifu, non Choice Band Zamazenta, and Hisuian Samurott. It can also check and often OHKO powerful special attackers like Gholdengo, Tapu Lele, and Mega Diancie with Mirror Coat. This becomes more difficult to pull off once you reveal that you are an Assault Vest set, as Mirror Coat is easy to predict, causing hiding your set to be a good strategy. Despite all of this Assault Vest Alomomola cannot wall some strong physical attackers, like Ogerpon-W and Choice Banded Zamazenta. This causes Pokemon that can deal with these aforementioned foes, like Pecharunt and Landorus-Therian, are valuable partners. In return Alomomola can easily take on Pokemon they can’t handle, like Tapu Lele. Alomomola can also struggle with special attackers that can do powerful super effective damage to it such as Raging Bolt, and Tapu Koko. Alomomola appreciates Ground Types like Ting Lu and Specially Defensive Gliscor, and Alomomola in return can wall Water Types, like Urshifu and Tapu Fini, 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 absorbers, like Gliscor, Mega Scizor, and Mega Venusaur, great partners. Alomomola’s walling capabilities can also be crippled by hazards, which leads to hazard removers, like Great Tusk, Terapagos, and Landorus-T, being valuable. Pokemon that can prevent hazards from being set up with Magic Bounce, like Mega Diancie or Hatterene, can also effectively 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 to make progress against the opposing team.
