Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Rotom is a electric/ghost-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 440 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 91) and a special attacking profile. Its Levitate ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Rotom. Build around what Rotom actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
