Welcome back, Trainers! It's time to see how Alomomola will likely perform in Pokémon GO.
|
|
ATTACK: 138 |
DEFENSE: 131 |
STAMINA: 338 |
MAX CP: 2162 |
PLACE IN THE META: We should start by addressing the Phanpy in the room: No, Alomomola is not the evolved form of Luvdisc. Yes, it's shocking. Remoraid, a remora, evolves into Octillery, an octopus, but Luvdisc does not evolve into Alomomola.
Enough with the lighthearted callbacks to the Pokémon Black and White reveal cycle. Time to move onto Alomomola's potential in GO, and unfortunately it is not too promising. While it actually has an outstanding Stamina stat, its Attack and Defense are abysmal. Alomomola is an improvement on Luvdisc to be sure, but it just cannot compete with the likes of Kingler and Kyogre.
LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Alomomola:
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Alomomola:
Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Alomomola's movepool:
LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Alomomola gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
