Alomomola is a solid defensive pivot that sets itself apart from Toxapex as a result of its lack of Ground-type weakness and access to Wish, with the former quality letting it check Great Tusk in addition to Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Koraidon, Chien-Pao, and Palafin-H. However, Alomomola is quite passive, succumbs to Koraidon and Chien-Pao after they have boosted their Attack or Terastallized, and is easily trapped by Gothitelle. Whirlpool's passive damage makes up for Alomomola's poor offenses and prevents double switches from the opponent. Play Rough hits Koraidon and Chien-Pao decently hard, and it prevents Miraidon from switching into Alomomola relatively freely. Minimum Speed investment ensures that Corviknight cannot exploit Alomomola to get off a slower U-turn to gain momentum. Tera Fairy resists Koraidon's Fighting-type STAB moves as well as Chien-Pao's Crunch, and it is immune to Dragon-type attacks such as Koraidon's Outrage and Choice-locked Miraidon and Walking Wake's Draco Meteor. Rocky Helmet prevents passivity by punishing Pokemon like Koraidon, Great Tusk, and Chien-Pao. Alomomola appreciates being paired with special walls that can check Pokemon like Miraidon, Iron Bundle, and Flutter Mane for it, such as Clodsire, Blissey, Iron Treads, and Ting-Lu. The latter two also especially benefit from Alomomola's Wish due to their lack of reliable recovery. Skeledirge and Gholdengo are also effective partners since they check Breloom for Alomomola. Alomomola requires an entry hazard remover in Great Tusk, Corviknight, or Iron Treads, as it is likely 2HKOed by Choice Scarf Koraidon's Close Combat or Choice Band Chien-Pao's Crunch after Stealth Rock. Alomomola should also be used in tandem with secondary defensive Koraidon checks such as defensive Great Tusk or Skeledirge—which also checks Breloom for it—or speed control in the form of Iron Bundle, Choice Scarf Great Tusk, Choice Scarf Koraidon, or Choice Scarf Miraidon to revenge kill Koraidon and Chien-Pao at +2.

Alomomola is a solid defensive pivot that can check Pokemon such as Koraidon, Chien-Pao, and Great Tusk and provide its team with Wish support. Whirlpool's passive damage makes up for Alomomola's poor offenses and prevents double switches from the opponent. Play Rough hits Koraidon and Chien-Pao decently hard, and prevents Miraidon from switching into Alomomola relatively freely. Protect lets it safely heal via WIsh and scout attacks from choice-locked Pokemon. mention that this only works for Pokemon that have revealed that they are choice locked. kinda misleading to tell players to stay in w/ this vs a mira that can CM and destroy the team. Minimum Speed investment ensures that Corviknight cannot exploit Alomomola to get off a slower U-turn to gain momentum. Tera Fairy resists Fighting-type attacks such as Koraidon's Close Combat, Dark-type attacks such as Chien-Pao's Crunch, if there is just one example for each then you can get rid of the 'fighting/dark-type attacks such as ..' bit and just mention the 2 attacks normally and is immune to Dragon-type attacks such as Koraidon's Outrage and choice locked Miraidon's and Walking Wake's Draco Meteor. Rocky Helmet prevents Pokemon like Koraidon, Great Tusk, and Chien-Pao from freely using attacks versus Alomomola by wearing them down. Alomomola appreciates being paired with special walls that can check Pokemon like Miraidon, Iron Bundle, and Flutter Mane for it, such as Clodsire, Blissey, Iron Treads, and Ting-Lu. The latter two also especially benefit from Alomomola's Wish due to their lack of reliable recovery. Alomomola requires a teammate capable of removing entry hazards in Great Tusk, Corviknight, or Iron Treads so that it does not easily get worn down into range of an opponent's attack. Alomomola could also be used in tandem with other bulky Water-types such as Toxapex and Dondozo to somewhat alleviate the pressure of checking Koraidon and Chien-Pao. mention that this hard loses to fire tera kora and tera dark chien. I think skele is a great mention because it beats breloom, and can beat the kora / pao sets in a pinch

Alomomola is a solid defensive pivot that can check Pokemon such as Koraidon, Chien-Pao, and Great Tusk and provide its team with Wish support -specify scarf koraidon, i don't really feel comfortable calling it a check to other sets. add that the lack of a ground-weakness separates it from fellow regen water toxapex. definitely add a sentence stressing that mola is quite passive and succumbs to boosted / terastalized pao / kora and is easily trapped by gothitelle-. Whirlpool's passive damage makes up for Alomomola's poor offenses and prevents double switches from the opponent.

Alomomola requires a teammate capable of removing entry hazards in Great Tusk, Corviknight, or Iron Treads so that it does not easily get worn down into range of an opponent's attack -which attacks from which pokemon ? if no examples come up, it's best to remove this sentence-. Alomomola could also be used in tandem with other bulky Water-types such as Toxapex and Dondozo to somewhat alleviate the pressure of checking Koraidon and Chien-Pao as it loses to them if they Terastallize -this part is a bit odd, i don't think you'd want to run mola next to another bulky water and especially not dondozo, remove this bit and replace it with a sentence stressing that you want backup koraidon checks (great tusk / skeledirge are both fine + tusk likes wish), and that you want additional speed control to prevent losing to boosted kora / pao (iron bundle / scarf tusk / tera fire scarf kora / fairy scarf mira all work fine). mention checks to breloom as well-
