Alomomola is a pink fish Pokémon with darker pink markings on its body and fins. Its main body is heart-shaped. It has large, hand-like dorsal and ventral fins, each divided into four sections and tipped with a paler pink. It seems to lack a proper tail fin. Its eyes are round with golden irises and a mark that appears to be an eyelash extending up and back toward the rest of the body.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Alomomola is capable of healing Pokémon using their special membrane enveloping its entire body.
Behavior
If Alomomola finds an injured Pokémon floating at sea, Alomomola will heal the Pokémon's wounds and carry it back to shore.
Alomomola appears to be a combination of an ocean sunfish and a heart. Due to its hand-like fins and heart shaped body, it may have been inspired by the Claddagh ring. Its ability to heal other Pokémon may be inspired by the doctor fish. The fact that it wraps itself in a special membrane might be a reference to a parrotfish.
Name origin
Alomomola is a combination of Mola mola (scientific name for the ocean sunfish) and mom (referring to its status as the Caring Pokémon). It may also refer to aloha, Hawaiian for love/affection, referenced by Alomomola's heart-like shape and the ocean sunfish's preference to tropical areas, such as Hawaii. Alomomola is a palindrome.
Mamanbou may be a combination of mama and 翻車魚 manbō (ocean sunfish).
