-_- yes Rotom gets hydro pump when you change it to wash form. That question belongs in simple questions, simple answers anywaysis it possible to get hydro pump before pokebank is released? does anyone know?
28 Special Attack EVs guarantees the OHKO on max HP Gliscor.What is the logic of not maxing def for the first set?
Actually no it doesn't anymore since Hydro Pump got nerfed to 110 BP. You actually need 120 EVs in order to guarantee that Hydro Pump OHKOs Gliscor.28 Special Attack EVs guarantees the OHKO on max HP Gliscor.
oh crap, i didn't take this into consideration. thanks for this, i'll edit soonActually no it doesn't anymore since Hydro Pump got nerfed to 110 BP. You actually need 120 EVs in order to guarantee that Hydro Pump OHKOs Gliscor.
I personally don't think it's worth it to invest 120 EVs into Rotom's SAtk just for Gliscor. Maxing out Rotom's bulk might be more beneficial, but hey that's just me.oh crap, i didn't take this into consideration. thanks for this, i'll edit soon
Yeah you're probably right, but there's no use for 28 SpAtk EVs, so that's what I mean for editing. 120 EVs is way too much, as Rotom-W really needs to invest in it's bulk in order to take hits. I'll talk to QC about this.I personally don't think it's worth it to invest 120 EVs into Rotom's SAtk just for Gliscor. Maxing out Rotom's bulk might be more beneficial, but hey that's just me.

Isn't WoW sort of like Reflect but with a better trade-off since you shouldn't be worrying about a Fire-Type switch in? I like the Light Screen idea, tho.Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers

I don't understand why this hasn't been listed as an option (has nobody else thought of it?!). Honestly, it's the MVP on my (very successful) offense team. Rotom can switch in to so many Pokemon, yet induces so many switches, that you often get a free screen (which one depends on your prediction). Then you can Volt Switch to a favourable match up with at least one screen up. Being just fast enough is great, because you can Light Screen first against e.g. Blastoise & Goodra, and Reflect first against e.g. Scizor & Tyranitar. For all of these reasons, Rotom is actually the quintessential double screener, yet I've seen literally nobody else use this moveset. Rotom also loves Leftovers too much for any other item to be considered. A 0 attack IV trolls Klefki all day unless it has Toxic.
Edit: 252 HP EVs is sub-optimal, because 304 HP is divisible by both 16 and 8, so it's a Hail/Sandstream/Burn/Poison/Leech Seed/Stealth Rock threshold. It's also a Leftovers threshold, but that doesn't nearly compensate for the aforementioned negatives. Rotom should certainly not run 252 EVs without Leftovers.
In some ways, yes, but Will-O' cripples physical attackers [generally] for the rest of the match, and the extra damage at the end of each turn is cool. Burns don't wear off after 5 turns, and don't require an item to make them extend for longer.Isn't WoW sort of like Reflect but with a better trade-off since you shouldn't be worrying about a Fire-Type switch in? I like the Light Screen idea, tho.
Burn is isolated to that one Pokemon and doesn't affect Fire. Your opponent may never allow you to burn their physical Pokemon. I routinely set up Reflect and Volt Switch out. It's common for something else to be facing a physical attacker two turns later; that's where Reflect is useful. I also have Will-O-Wisp elsewhere on my team, and the combined effect of burn + Reflect is great.Isn't WoW sort of like Reflect but with a better trade-off since you shouldn't be worrying about a Fire-Type switch in?

Considering they all have Volt Switch, I don't see why not. Just Volt Switch out of any lead you can't beat.Could any of these sets be used as a lead?
Volt Switch provides much more utility due to allowing you to use it as your opponent switches to keep momentum. Thunderbolt is a nice idea if it nets you certain kills, but you'd be better off with it on the offensive sets.Could Thunderbolt be slashed in with the bold set?
What spread is the Modest one meant to be? I actually took the time to bread that set with HP Ice and i can say it doesn't work very well haha.Dual Screen Rotom-W was always good. Slash Light Clay as an item option too since it prolongs the screens for a longer time (great for hyper offensive teams and even bulkier teams).
Also why does the Assault Vest set still have the Modest spread? @_@;
