Strategy Overview
Alomomola is a premier Wish passer on Water thanks to its many great qualities. Firstly, its gargantuan HP stat allows it to pass gigantic Wishes. Secondly, its decent physical bulk allows it to take on physical attackers such as Azumarill, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Pinsir, all of which fail to OHKO it. Thirdly, its ability Regenerator further complements its role as a Wish passer and lets it frequently switch in and out of the battle. Moreover, its pure Water typing doesn't add any new weaknesses to your team. It can also take on special attackers by taking advantage of its high HP stat in tandem with Mirror Coat, notably taking a Solar Beam from Mega Charizard Y and OHKOing back. Finally, it has access to an extremely useful move in Knock Off, which only a few Water-types have access to.
Unfortunately, Alomomola's poor Special Attack means that its damage output is pathetic. In addition, while its HP stat is great, its Special Defense is rather dreadful. Its Speed is also rather subpar. Setup sweepers like Nasty Plot Thundurus can easily take advantage of Alomomola when it passes Wishes. Alomomola also heavily relies on Scald burns to actually threaten a foe and force it out. Finally, it is shut down by Taunt and is inclined to then switch out or deal poor damage with Scald.
