・ Volt Switch ・ Tera Blast ・ Nasty Plot |
Wash Rotom's natural bulk allows it to withstand most attacks, so it can act as the perfect pivot for most teams. Use Volt Switch to deal damage while you switch out for your stronger carries.
Nasty Plot allows Wash Rotom to generate enough Firepower to act as somewhat of a late game sweeper, especially since its only weakness is Grass.
The Fairy Tera Type allows Wash Rotom to go up against Dragon types which are very common in the current metagame, and with a Fairy Type Tera Blast, you can catch your opponent off guard, Knocking out their Pokemon, or forcing them to switch out.

Held Item | Choice Scarf |
Moveset | ・
Hydro Pump
・ Thunderbolt ・ Volt Switch ・ Trick |
Choice Scarf makes up for Wash Rotom's average speed, allowing it to hit hard and fast against other Pokemon. Having Trick as a fourth move also allows Wash Rotom to counter setters by locking them into a single move, essentially forcing your opponent to switch out.
Volt Switch allows Wash Rotom to switch out easily, giving you time to safely change your strategy when faced against an unfavorable matchup.
Shadow Ball | A good Special Attack move for extra coverage against Ghost and Psychic type Pokemon. |

Discharge | Does slightly less damage than Thunderbolt, but has a higher chance to paralyze. |

Wash Rotom is great against Pokemon that are weak to its STAB moves, and can comfortably switch into Ground-type attacks thanks to its Levitate Ability. Terastallizing into Electric ensures that Wash Rotom has no weaknesses.
Nasty Plot | Great for boosting Rotom Wash's Special Attack during passive turns |
---|---|
Discharge | Great to use if Wash Rotom is next to a Ground-type like Garchomp |
Wash Rotom has well rounded Base Stats, good dual typing, and can learn useful status moves. Rotom can dish out good damage, and take hits from other meta attackers as well, which makes it a great pivot Pokemon, allowing you to deal decent damage while you re-assess the situation and change your strategy accordingly.
Volt Switch allows Wash Rotom to respond better to bad matchups by switching to a Pokemon that is better equipped for the current situation. Volt Switch also allows you to safely switch into one of your carries without having to waste a turn.
Wash Rotom works best as a Pivot, so use it as a second Pokemon that you can switch into whenever you need to re-assess the battle, and can switch back to your carries once the situation is favorable to your carries.
Tank | Bulky Pivot | Physical Sweeper |
---|---|---|
Corviknight | Wash Rotom | Garchomp |
Corviknight can switch into an Electric-type move aimed at Corviknight, while Corviknight can switch into a Grass-type move for Wash Rotom. These two have a good type synergy.
Garchomp can sit at the back and come in later in the game to sweep.
Special Attacker | Physical Attacker |
---|---|
Wash Rotom | Garchomp |
Support | Support |
Grimmsnarl | Arcanine |
Wash Rotom and Garchomp can utilize the Disquake Combo, which is Discharge + Earthquake, with each partner being immune to its partner's attack. Grimmsnarl and Arcanine can offer support to these two Pokemon, and ensure that they can set up their Swords Dance and Nasty Plot.
Wash Rotom must be able to use Volt Switch to transition to other Pokemon safely, so if you use a Pokemon that isn't affected by Volt Switch, you can force a conventional switch from your opponent instead.
