In-Depth Analysis
Rotom totals 440 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Special Attack (95) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker HP (50).
Defensively, the Electric, Ghost combination gives Rotom 5 resistances, 2 immunities, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Rotom a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +1, Speed +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
