Heart Attack
~Alomomola~
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
EV's: 228 HP | 252 Def | 28 SpD
Nature: Bold
~ Scald
~ Psychic
~ Calm Mind
~ Rest
This is an Alomomola I introduced at the very beginning of the BW era. I used to play it on a Rain Team and it totally wrecked shit. With the given EV'spread and nature, it can survive a hell of a lot.
Choice Band Terrakion can't even 2HKO this thing with Close Combat, while I threaten it with Scald. (Or I can just Rest off the damage)
After 1 Calm Mind, not even a Specs Modest Latios can OHKO me with Draco Meteor, while I obviously predict that and go for the Rest, so he has -2 SpAtk. Basically Latios is set-up fodder for my Alomomola, even though it has weak SpDef from the start. With Scald I have a decent STAB move while having the chance to burn several stuff. With Psychic I can surprise opposing Breloom, Conkeldurr and Toxicroak, who think they can set-up on me.
Whoever says Alomomola deserves a place in RU, never battled mine

Re: Heart Attack
If you lose the weather this set is useless, I would prefer using dewgong with stockpile to the least, as it also gets hydration. regardless, nice set, havent seen it yet, so props to you. Over.

Re: Heart Attack
I love novelty, always, and it's always great when a lower tier pokemon can be viable in the overused tier. Only issue is that half the pokemon in OU will massacre this thing before it can CM up.
"Latios is set-up fodder for my Alomomola, even though it has weak SpDef from the start."
Latios won't draco meteor. No experienced player will, at least. Latios will go for the trick, sticking you with a choice scarf and useless ocean sunfish that will do little but stay as setup fodder. Alonmola needs several turns of setting up before it can be a force, and even at +3, many pokemon will still not be KO'd by a STAB scald.
Alomomola isn't a bad pokemon - it's just that many other pokemon can do this job better. Keldeo and Jirachi are two other pokemon who can both function as excellent CM users with more power and speed.
Although I love the creativity of the set, I'm not sure how feasible it is in the OU environment due to the presence of pokemon who outclass it.
6/10

Re: Heart Attack
Yeah. I agree with Lyn. That is definitely not the best set to use in today's meta. I can see it down with a Rain Dance team in like UU or NU (depending on where Alo is), but other than that, it has no place in OU.
