Moveset | ・
Overheat
・ Foul Play ・ Will-O-Wisp ・ Volt Switch |
Heat Rotom resists a lot of the common physical attackers in the current meta. A bulkier defensive build featuring a Sitrus Berry and a Bold nature is ideal for Heat Rotom to better tank attacks from Pokemon like Hearthflame Ogerpon.
This build also features moves like Foul Play and Will-O-Wisp to help counter physical attackers.
Thunder Wave | Gives Heat Rotom another way to support its team by paralyzing and reducing the speed of the opponent's Pokemon |

Thunderbolt

Electric-type STAB moves that provide strong coverage, especially against Water-types. |

Overheat

Heat Rotom can be a fast and disruptive Pokemon. In this build, it is equipped with Choice Scarf and focuses EV investment into HP and Speed.
Fast Trick can cripple unprepared Pokemon, while Volt Switch allows Heat Rotom to pivot out of the active position.
Overheat is a powerful STAB option which can deal huge damage on neutral hits.
Discharge | Does slightly less damage than Thunderbolt, but has a higher chance to paralyze. |

While decently bulky, Heat Rotom is best utilized as a Lead or after a teammate has been KOd. Switching it into anything other than a Ground-type move will make Heat Rotom lose valuable HP.
Unresisted Overheat can take out huge chunks of HP even from dedicated Walls on neutral hit. It is best used when opponents do not have safe switch-ins for it.
Heat Rotom is best used in teams that match up favourably against its counters. It struggles to damage Pokemon that resist its STAB moves, so Pokemon who can take on Rock-types are good teammates for Heat Rotom.
Teammates with moderate bulk are also good to have, as Heat Rotom will usually want to switch out after an Overheat.
Offensive Lead | Defensive Pivot | Special Attacker |
---|---|---|
Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style | Heat Rotom | Flutter Mane |
Urshifu Rapid-Strike and Rotom Heat complement each other perfectly defensively because they cover for each other's weaknesses. Flutter Mane also appreciates Rotom Heat being able to switch in for it and heavily resist any Steel-type attacks it would take.
