Strategy Overview

Thanks to its superb defensive typing and decent base 91 Speed, Rotom is a threatening status spreader in RU. Its typing grants it five resistances and three immunities, which allow it to deal with influential walls in RU such as Registeel and Alomomola and sweepers such as Fletchinder. Sadly, Rotom is quite frail due to its low HP and subpar defenses, making a majority of matchups dependent on its foe's typing, and while its typing gives it several resistances, Rotom's weakness to common Dark-type attacks makes it an easy target for Pursuit trapping.
