Item: Sitrus Berry / Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Modest (+SpA, -Atk)
EVs: 228 Hp / 252 SpA / 28 Spe
Moveset:
- Thunderbolt / Rising Voltage
- Air Slash
- Nasty Plot
- Protect
When it comes to single battles, Rotom shines as a brilliant Special Tank. It is primarily designed to take a considerable amount of hits from special attacks while dealing some decent damage. The Sitrus Berry will restore 1/4th of Rotom's max HP when it reaches below half health and gets consumed. Life Orb boosts the power of Rotom's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Levitate, Rotom is immune to damaging Ground-typed moves (except Thousand Arrows). Levitate also makes Rotom unaffected by the effects of Spikes, Arena Trap, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, Rototiller or terrain effects. Keep in mind that Ingrain, Gravity, Smack down and the Iron ball item will nullify Levitate's effect.
◆ Rising Voltage is a special STAB-boosted 70-base power Electric-type move (2x power if target is grounded in electric terrain).
◆ Air Slash is a special STAB-boosted 75-base power Flying-type move (30% chance to make the target flinch).
◆ Nasty Plot is a status move (raises your Rotom's special attack by 2 stages).
◆ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Rotom this turn).
