Everything you need to know about Alomomola
Alomomola was released as part of the Valentine's Day 2020 event in Pokémon Go, alongside fellow Gen 5 Pokémon, Audino.
Alomomola was inspired by a number of different fish. It's body resembles that of an ocean sunfish and the fact it can wrap itself in a special membrane may be inspired by the parrotfish. Some species of the parrotfish have the ability to create a mucus before they sleep, which hides its scent and, in doing so, protect the fish from nearby predators.
Good luck defeating Alomomola in Pokémon Go!
