    Rotom is a Ghost/Electric type Pokémon that's introduced in the D/P/Pl games, in which you'd usually find one in one of those T.V.s in the Old Chateau. Now, Rotom is generally an interesting Pokémon, since it has the power to become different appliances, with 5 different states or formes. On Gen 4, those formes used to be part ghost, part another type (other than electric). Those types were fixed as of Gen V, as the formes taken off their ghost type, and stuck to their Electric typing along with their own individual type.

    The formes also all have their own 'signature move' that represents their applicance, so to speak! At any rate, here are all the formes:

    [​IMG]
    This is Rotom's normal forme. It's a Ghost/Electric type that has a BST of 440! To compare it's stats with the rest of the formes:
    Normal Rotom: Hp: 50 Att: 50 Def: 77 Sp.Atk: 95 Sp.Def: 77 Speed :91
    Heat, Wash, Frost, Fan, and Mow Rotom: Hp: 50 Att: 65 Def: 107 Sp.Atk: 105 Sp.Def: 107 Speed: 86

    [​IMG]
    This is Rotom's Heat Form, or just Heat Rotom. It's a Fire/Electric Type that is able to learn Overheat!

    [​IMG]
    Here we have Rotom's Wash Form, or just Wash Rotom. It's a Water/Electric Type that is able to learn Hydro Pump!
    [​IMG]
    This little one is Rotom's Frost Form, or just Frost Rotom. It's a Ice/Electric Type that is able to learn Blizzard!

    [​IMG]
    Here we have Rotom's Fan Form, aka Fan Rotom. It's a Flying/Electric Type that is able to learn Air Slash!
    [​IMG]
    Finally, this is Rotom's Mow Form, or Mow Rotom. It's a Grass/Electric Type that is able to learn Leaf Storm~!


    So! Judging from all of this, which Rotom forme would be your favourite (including the normal forme), and if you've used one before, how has it served you in battle? Feel free to share anything. :3

    I like Rotom-W, because it's what I've used the most, haha. Not to mention design-wise it's my favorite. It's a washing machine, what isn't there to like?

    I love Rotom-W the best too, because I'm a competitive battler. XD Though Air Ballom Fan Rotom is... interesting.

    Rotom-W naturally is in the meta, however I tend to use Rotom-M more than any of the others.

    This is because I have a rather infamous Electric Doubles team that makes Rotom-M an uncanny advantage for it. It's literally the only time I use Rotom! Of course, the only reason why I use it is because I already have a Water/Electric type on my team and wouldn't want another one.... and his Leaf Storm really does help me out for Rock and Ground type Pokémon.

    Design-wise I love normal rotom. I love its plasma look. Really cool :)
    Battle-wise, I love rotom wash. It's pretty bulky.

    This guy is adorable! Though I know I'd be running if I saw that in my room. ;P Otherwise I'm also a fan of the normal Rotom, though all of its forms are pretty unique and cute.

    I used the normal form most while I was playing, though that might've been largely down to not using Rotom long enough to try out each form. I ended up going with different Pokémon instead. Design-wise I like its mow form. That grin!

    My favorite form is probably the Wash or the Mow form. Both are pretty strong and have a cool looking design. They seem to look like a good pair too.

    Rotom-W is one of the more obvious choices here. It has great typing and is quite bulky, which is useful for competitive battling. I'm using one myself, so I naturally gravitate towards it. Don't forget that it looks cool too!

    You know, I've surprisingly never used a Rotom in-game, but my favorite Rotom design-wise is Rotom-Heat. My favorite Rotom in the metagame, however, is Rotom-Wash (like 99% of everyone else). Designs I really don't like/am not fond of are Rotom-Frost and Rotom-Fan. It's just both funny and ironic they happen to be not so good in the metagame, either.

    My favorites are Rotom Wash and Mow. Not only are they both competitively solid, but they have really cool designs as well. Regular rotom in Battle Revolution looked pretty cool as well. I think that Fan Rotom needs a buff though. If it had serene grace I'm sure it would be much more competitively viable. ;)

    I haven't used Rotom much in battle, but I think its design is cool! I love how it can possess different appliances to change form, and I really like all of the different designs of the forms. Mow Rotom is probably my favorite in terms of design, its devilish grin is really cool.
