Trivia

Alomomola was revealed an Oha Suta preview of a trailer on July 21, 2010. It was officially revealed on the September issue of Coro Coro on August 8, 2010.
Alomomola's name is a Palindrome, making it the fourth Pokémon whose name is a palindrome, the other three Pokémon being Eevee, Girafarig, and Ho-Oh.
Alomomola was originally thought to be related to Luvdisc, due to its similar colorings and shape. However, it does not have any relation to Luvdisc in any way.
Alomomola was the first Pokémon that Ash and Pikachu saw when they arrived in the Unova region; however, he had no idea what it was at the time since he had no updated Pokédex with him.
Alomomola is one of only two Pokémon with five syllables in their English name, the other being Feraligatr.
Alomomola is March on the Unova Horoscope.

Origin

Alomomola appears to be a combination of a discus fish, an ocean sunfish, and a heart (representing health and its ability to heal). It's ability to wrap itself in a special membrane that protects it may be a reference to the parrotfish which does the same when it sleeps.

Etymology

Alomomola comes from Mola mola (the scientific name for the ocean sunfish) and mom (referring to its loving, healing nature, and its title of the "Caring Pokémon").

Its Japanese name, Mamanbō, could be derived from 翻車魚 manbō (the Japanese name for the ocean sunfish) and Mama (referencing its status as the Nursing Pokémon in the Japanese games).
