Alomomola punches above its weight class thanks to Regenerator. It recovers a third of its HP every time it switches out, which is enough to make up for stats that don't impress on their own. Only weak to Electric and Grass.

Alomomola's spread is anchored by HP, with physical bulk backing it up. Sp. Atk is the clear weak point. Worth 2 HP EVs per KO, and the fast 800K XP curve keeps leveling painless.

Alomomola Weakness

Good

Type-wise, Alomomola takes extra damage from Electric and Grass. It resists 4 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Alomomola's physical bulk (base 80 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

What you see is what you get. Alomomola sits outside any evolution chain, so focus on the egg moves and plenty of partners from two egg groups. Eggs are takes forever to hatch.

The physical wall spread is where Alomomola earns its spot. Rocky Helmet for chip damage on every physical hit received, Bold nature for the right lean, and Wish handles sustain. Regenerator does the rest without needing a move slot.

The egg pool carries weight here. Endure and Mirror Coat aren't available any other way for Alomomola, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Hydro Pump and Surf for solid options.

  • Don't let Alomomola's 470 base stat total fool you. Regenerator is what makes it tick — it punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a wall.

  • Alomomola's biggest threats include Manectric (Electric) and Roserade (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Alomomola doesn't evolve and has no evolutionary line. It's a Water-type Pokemon with a 470 base stat total.

  • Run Regenerator on Alomomola. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Alomomola also gets Healer and Hydration, but they don't compare.

  • Alomomola fills the wall role. It's a special attacker with base 40 Sp. Atk. At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.

  • Alomomola appears in 7 games, including Black & White, Black 2 & White 2, and X & Y.

Introduced in Black & White, Alomomola has appeared in 7 games across 5 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
