| Ability | Levitate |
| Held Item | Choice Scarf |
| Moveset | ・Thunderbolt ・Volt Switch ・Hydro Pump ・Trick |
With a Choice Scarf, Wash Rotom overcomes its middling Speed. It can also use Trick to force tanks to hold the Choice Scarf and diminish their effectiveness.
Volt Switch will allow Wash Rotom to switch out easily, allowing it to serve as a springboard to keep moving forward in a switch-heavy battle.
| Shadow Ball | A useful counter for Bisharp. A capable attack against a variety of opponents. |
|---|---|
| Will-o-Wisp | It doesn't work well in a Choice Item set, but Will-o-Wisp is always useful for cutting down a Physical Attacker's effectiveness. |
| Nature | Bold |
|---|---|
| EV Spread | HP 252 / Def. 252 / Spd. 4 |
| Final Stat Values | HP 157 / Def. 174 / Sp.Atk. 125 / Sp.Def. 127 / Spd. 107 |
| Ability | Levitate |
| Held Item | Sitrus Berry |
| Moveset | ・Hydro Pump ・Thunderbolt ・Volt Switch ・Will-o-Wisp |
This build takes advantage of Wash Rotom's high Base Defense and good type combination to make it a Physical tank. The Sitrus Berry can remedy its low HP, allowing it to play the waiting game and keep watch on an opponent's strategy.
Wash Rotom has a solid balance of Base Stats and a good type combination, and learns a variety of useful Status Moves. While being a great attacker itself, it can also bear the brunt of opponents' attacks - the variety of possibilities for Wash Rotom keep it a mainstay in competitive play.
The move Volt Switch allows Wash Rotom to attack while also switching into a better suited ally. This allows Wash Rotom to respond more easily to a variety of threats posed by its opponents, and allows it to serve as a lubricant for easy access to useful Pokemon in your party.
Pokemon who are immune to Electric-type attacks can render Volt Switch unusable, significantly limiting Wash Rotom's potential. However, Ground-type Pokemon will immediately be ousted by Hydro Pump, so it's recommended to use a Pokemon with a resistance to Water-type moves as well.
