Ok this thing.

I know it was definitely a thing in Gen 5 OU, but it seems to be so much more omnipresent and considered more dangerous this Gen.
I'm not imagining things am I, if anything it should have got worse without the godrain, exactly what is it that making it such a force?

Can anyone shed light for this guy who has only casually observed the new meta and has yet to dive into it?

Despite his shitty fucking HP he survives everything you throw at it with over 50% health

I dunno what the fuck is even going on with him, how is he so bulky?

He can bulk a single hit and put down the OU Avian while simultaneously switching out, and he's already pretty good. He stands a good chance of burning Boo-boo Keys. He can counter Smogon Sword laughably. So he is handling a lot of new threats that are seeing common use. Isn't that enough to make him more prominent than he previously was?

It probably sees a lot of use now, but once pokebank comes out and all the pokemon become available there will be more variety.

Its still a good pokemon though being only weak to Grass or mold breaker Ground moves, and it gets multiple good status options to throw around, plus it can volt switch to bring out more effective pokemon for many situations without wasting a turn switching

Because he's fucking Electric/Water with Levitate. His only real weakness is Grass which has absolutely no place on any Pokemon's moveset, let alone just to counter one Pokemon.

One of the best resisters of water and fire out there while being immune to ground and having fantastic SE coverage using Water+Electric alone.
Not to mention being one of the best Will-O-Wisp users out there next to Trevenant until we get Bank back.

Don't forget it was still pretty great in Gen 4 before rain.

I'd say that now is as good a time as any for grass moves to be snuck on to some pokemon's movelists, considering the sheer amount of bulk being shoved around now. I know that I put giga drain on both my Accelgor and Vileplume as decent recovery options, and to counter bulky waters.

Right, so it's the fact he fucks half the good new toys loads of people are playing with thoroughly on top of being an already good Pokémon.

Makes enough sense, ta.

It's funny because people would run HP Grass in RSE because of Swampert's bitch ass.

Rotom-W's claim to fame is being able to fill a variety of roles capably, and its stats and moves being just good enough to do so.

talonflame can u-turn out to rotom-mow which WILL force a switch. the best that rotom-w can do to rotom-m is use hidden power ice.
