Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 232 HP / 92 SpA / 184 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Thunder Wave
- Pain Split

Rotom-W is one of the most popular pivot choices in OU. With its STAB Volt Switch, it is excellent at bringing in powerful attackers like Bisharp and Zapdos-G on opposing Rotom-W and Galarian Slowking. Hydro Pump compliments Volt Switch by making it extremely hard for Ground-types to effectively block it, blasting them away with ease. Thunder Wave helps out slower teammates while also crippling foes such as Dragapult and Kartana, whereas Pain Split puts pressure on Ferrothorn. With 184 Speed and 92 Special Attack EVs, Rotom-W outpaces bulky Heatran and 2HKOes it with Hydro Pump. These excellent traits cause it to naturally find itself best used on bulky offense teams that appreciate the momentum Rotom-W generates against common defensive cores like Landorus-T + Tapu Fini. Breakers such as Dragapult, Urshifu-R and Kartana get opportunities to wreak havoc due to Rotom-W's consistent pivoting. Landorus-T also serves as an excellent partner to Rotom-W, as it also provides additional momentum with U-turn while also being able to remove hazards.

Rotom-W is one of the most popular choices in OU as a defensive its no longer a defensive set pivot. With its STAB Volt Switch, it is excellent at bringing in powerful attackers examples please physical attackers are nice cuz it volts on stuff like glowking and rotom while still threatening Ground types with Hydro Pump you could change the wording a bit and make it so it mentions how Hydro Pump makes it harder for ground types to block its Volt Switch. With the combination of Will-O-Wisp and Pain Split, it lets Rotom-W hinder switchins like Ferrothorn, with Wisp especially putting the pressure on Garchomp and other physical attackers like Kartana from switching in we got twave instead now mention how it can para things faster things like pult and paper boy which helps out slower teammates. With 184 Speed, Rotom-W is assured to outpace Modest Heatran, and 2HKO it its actually bulky tran that needs 96+ to 2HKO not Modest with Hydro Pump. These many favourable traits means it naturally finds itself best on Bulky Offenses that appreciate the constant momentum Rotom-W generates you could say what it generates momentum against somewhere around here. Breakers such as Dragapult, Urshifu-RS and Kartana get an opportunity to cause havoc out of Rotom-W's constant pivoting. Landorus-T also serves as an excellent partner to Rotom-W as it also provides additional momentum with U-turn while also being able to remove hazards.

QC 1/1 this should be good enough, lmk if there's any problems or if you need help

With its STAB Volt Switch, it is excellent at bringing in powerful attackers like Bisharp and Zapdos-G off of hits on opposing Rotom-W and Galarian Slowking-Galar. Hydro Pump further compliments Volt Switch by making it extremely hard for Ground-types to effectively block it, blasting them away with ease.

With 184 Speed and 92 Special Attack EVs, Rotom-W is assured to outpace outpaces bulky Heatran (remove comma) and 2HKOes it with Hydro Pump. These many favorable excellent traits means cause it to naturally finds itself best used on Bulky Offenses bulky offense teams that appreciate the constant momentum Rotom-W generates against common defensive cores like Landorus-T + Tapu Fini. Breakers such as Dragapult, Urshifu-RS, (add comma) and Kartana get an opportunity opportunities to cause wreak (not a totally necessary change here, but "wreak havoc" is a pretty common phrase, and it gives a little more feeling to the sentence. Up to you if you want to make the change) havoc out of due to Rotom-W's constant consistent pivoting. Landorus-T also serves as an excellent partner to Rotom-W, (add comma) as it also provides additional momentum with U-turn while also being able to remove hazards.
