OM Orphanage
(inspired by kenn's fill in the blank and Melt Gibson's SV UU item shop)
When it comes to building teams, most of the best builders tend to gravitate towards a select few Pokemon, usually for good reason, but what about all the little guys that get left out? Can you find a use for them, too? Once a week, the OM Orphanage presents you with a Pokemon that tends to be underutilized in OMs, as well as their inherit strengths, weaknesses, and their direct competition, and it's you to come up with a reason to use them! We're not crafting new metagame staples here, but your goal is to carve a niche, be it big or tiny, for this Pokemon in any OM that it can do better than the competition!
During the week, you will post your set for this Pokemon, the niche you believe it carves out as well as some justification for it, and maybe even a team or a core featuring it. If you have replays featuring your set in action, even better! The primary goal is to justify the niche you've found for this Pokemon, even if it's a small one and even if it faces some competition. Occasionally, a metagame will be excluded from the running for a week if a Pokemon is prevalent there but in no other permanent OMs.
Submissions will close at 3pm Saturday, CST.
From Sunday to Tuesday, the people can vote for their favorite unique application, and the winner will be added to the hall of fame.
Without further ado, here's your first Pokemon!
The OM Orphanage presents you with the cutest lawnmower in Sinnoh! Rotom-M tends to face heavy competition from it's washing machine and easy-bake oven compatriots, but can you find a home for it?
Rotom-Mow has a nearly identical movepool to the other Rotom formes, with the exception of a powerful 130 BP Leaf Storm. It has a good defensive typing with Levitate and a quad resistance to Electric, utility options like Will-O-Wisp, Thunder Wave, and Trick alongside dual screens, while also possessing a decent offensive movepool including Nasty Plot, STAB Thunderbolt, Discharge, and Volt Switch, and Leaf Storm to hit any pesky Ground-types. Rotom-Mow's stats are also solid, if a little underwhelming, with a low base 50 HP (good for Pain Split!) counterbalanced by very solid defenses, an okay Speed tier, and acceptable Special Attack. With all of these good traits, there's a cornucopia of ways to bolster it in OMs!
Can you find this little lawnmower a garage of it's own in the OM community?
