PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Waterfall takes advantage of STAB and is the superior pick overall.
• Hidden Power is suboptimal, even if you manage to get the appropriate typing.
• Hydro Pump fulfills the Water-type role, and hits hard with STAB.
• Blizzard is strong, but Alomomola isn't used for Ice-type offense.
• Psychic is meant for Psychic-type Pokemon, despite Alomomola's pink appearance. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Hidden Power can be more preferable for defense due to its unpredictable coverage.
• Waterfall hits hard on defense with STAB, though it doesn't provide extra coverage. 
• Psychic is the only 2-bar move available, which lets it be used most frequently.
• Hydro Pump is the hardest to dodge, but doesn't offer additional coverage.
• Blizzard can nail Grass and Dragon attackers hard, but takes a while to use as a 1-bar move.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Waterfall or Hidden Power + Psychic and Hydro Pump or Blizzard

Waterfall gets STAB and hits quite hard, though its energy generation is below average. Hidden Power can be more preferable depending on the typing, and can allow Alomomola to be more of a wildcard to surprise opponents. It also has poor energy gains. 

Psychic costs the least amount of energy among Alomomola's charge moves, and is therefore the most accessible and commonly used. Either Hydro Pump or Blizzard can be chosen for the secondary charge move; the former gets STAB while the latter provides valuable coverage, including against Grass and Dragon counterpicks. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 3 / 5

Alomomola is a mono-Water type Pokemon with incredible bulk, but held back by a cumbersome moveset. Access to Hidden Power enables Alomomola to surprise opponents with its unpredictable typing, however its inferior damage output compared to Waterfall (not to mention STAB) results in worse performances overall. The poor energy generation combined with its energy-hungry charge moves limits is capability to pressure shields, however its huge bulk still lets it put up a fight against most opponents. 

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Alomomola has a max CP of 2169, which doesn't even reach the cap of Ultra League. 

Master League: 0 / 5

This pink fish would look like a sushi lunch to the Pokemon competing in Master League.
