Rotom-Wash @ Electrium Z
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 108 HP / 184 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Thunder
- Pain Split

While Rotom-W is usually seen as a bulky utility pivot, an offensive Electrium Z set has enjoyed a rise in usage recently. This set trades reliability in checking threats like Heatran and Tornadus-T and utility in status moves like Defog for increased offensive presence and the ability to severely damage Pokemon unaware of Rotom-W's set with a well-timed Gigavolt Havoc, such as Magearna and Toxapex. Since offensive Rotom-W isn't a consistent answer to the likes of Tornadus-T and Heatran, it requires additional Flying- and Fire-type switch-ins like Mega Tyranitar, Magearna, and Mega Latios; Mega Tyranitar can also enter the battlefield off of Rotom-W's Volt Switch to Pursuit trap Mega Latias and Mega Latios. Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Victini are capable of creating decent VoltTurn cores with Rotom-W, as Rotom-W attracts bulky Grass-types, which these two Pokemon can defeat.

While Rotom-W is usually seen as a bulky utility pivot, an offensive Electrium Z set has enjoyed a rise recently. This set trades reliability in checking threats like Heatran and Tornadus-T and utility in status moves and Defog for increased offensive pressure and ability to severely damage unaware of Rotom-W's set Pokémon like Magearna, Toxapex, and Celesteela with a well-timed Gigavolt Havoc. Celesteela's a pretty poor example because it's not a good Rotom-W answer/pivot otherwise anyway. Since offensive Rotom-W isn't a consistent answer to the likes of Tornadus-T and Heatran, it requires additional Flying and Fire resists like Mega Tyranitar. You should add some more examples. It's probably worth pointing out that Mega Tyranitar is easily enabled by Rotom-W's Volt Switch to Pursuit trap Mega Latias and Mega Latios. Pokémon like Tornadus-T and Victini are capable of creating decent VoltTurn cores with Rotom-W, as the latter invites in bulky Grass-types, which the former two appreciate.
This is fine, but just make sure to look over the grammar before sending it to GP. 1/1

While Rotom-W is usually seen as a bulky utility pivot, an offensive Electrium Z set has enjoyed a rise in usage recently. This set trades reliability in checking threats like Heatran and Tornadus-T and utility in status moves and like Defog for increased offensive pressure ("presence" might be a better word choice here) and ability to severely damage Pokemon unaware of Rotom-W's set Pokémon like Magearna and Toxapex with a well-timed Gigavolt Havoc, such as Magearna and Toxapex. (This ordering flows better imo; also, don't put the accent in Pokemon) Since offensive Rotom-W isn't a consistent answer to the likes of Tornadus-T and Heatran, it requires additional Flying-(AH) and Fire-type switch-ins resists like Mega Tyranitar, Magearna, and Mega Latios; Mega Tyranitar can also can ("also can" -> "can also" is a subjective change) be easily enabled by enter the battlefield off of (phrasing; more specific) Rotom-W's Volt Switch to Pursuit trap Mega Latias and Mega Latios. Pokémon Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Victini are capable of creating decent VoltTurn cores with Rotom-W, as the latter invites Rotom-W attracts ("invites" -> "attracts" is a subjective change) bulky Grass-types, which the former two appreciate these two Pokemon can defeat.
GP 1/1
