Ability: Regenerator

IVs: 0 Spe
- Wish
- Flip Turn
- Protect
- Aqua Jet / Play Rough
[SET COMMENTS]
* With Wish and a slow Flip Turn, Alomomola has a strong combination for providing team healing.
* **Protect**: Alomomola can use Wish and Protect to give itself reliable self-recovery, and this combination makes Alomomola great at stalling out turns against weather, Terrains, and Trick Room.
* **Aqua Jet**: Aqua Jet is weak on Alomomola but still excellent at picking off severely weakened threats such as Focus Sash Chien-Pao.
* **Play Rough**: Play Rough deals sizable damage to Koraidon without Terastallization but is otherwise fairly situational.
Other Options
========
* **Scald**: Scald's burn chance can punish physical attackers like Dragonite and Chien-Pao for trying to set up on it, but it's rather inconsistent.
* **Skill Swap**: Skill Swap is a unique way to prevent Gliscor that lack Taunt from setting up on Alomomola and its team. It can also be used on Ogerpon-W's Water Absorb to make Flip Turn possible against it.
Tera Types
========
* **Tera Dependency - Low / Medium**: Physically bulky Alomomola already has good typing against the threats it wants to wall, but there are times when Terastallization is needed to augment its role.
* **Fairy**: Tera Fairy's Fighting-type resistance can be used to buy more time against Koraidon and Urshifu-R as well as just outright walling powerful Dragon-type moves like Outrage and Scale Shot.
* **Poison**: Tera Poison improves the Flutter Mane matchup and provides important support for removing Toxic Spikes.
Items
========
* **Rocky Helmet**: Rocky Helmet is fantastic for chipping the likes of Koraidon and Dragonite just by switching into their contact moves. Paired with Alomomola's recovery support, it has great potential to stack this damage up over time.
* **Leftovers**: Leftovers synergizes well with Protect, and the extra passive recovery can give Alomomola greater freedom to pass Wish to its teammates.
EV Spreads
========
* **116 HP / 252 Def / 140 SpD with Relaxed**: The physical bulk on this EV spread is tuned for Scale Shot from Jolly Koraidon, guaranteeing Alomomola can survive up to nine individual hits before recovery. With Leftovers and Protect, it almost always guarantees that Alomomola can live two unboosted Moonblasts from Timid Flutter Mane.
* **252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD with Relaxed**: A simple spread that tops out physical bulk, but the main benefit is that maximizing Alomomola's HP bumps the recovery teammates will receive from Wish.
* **4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD with Relaxed**: While it sacrifices some physical bulk, the higher special bulk investment helps Alomomola to almost always avoid the 2HKO from Timid Flutter Mane's Moonblast, all without needing Leftovers.
