Once, I went into the Competitive Tutoring chat of Showdown, looking for teambuilding advice. Before I even started telling them what I had already, or what I was looking for, 5 people had already said something along the lines of "use Rotom-W." No joke.

That's because they're terrible team builders. Rotom-W is common because it's easy to put on a team, but it's not particularly good. There's a reason it's significantly less common in tourney-level play.

If you actually know what you're doing, the only reason you'd want to consider using it is because it counters the living fuck out of Sand Rush Excadrill and is a good counter to YOLO bird.

Well, I don't know about VGC but Rotom-W is extremely common on BattleSpot as well.

The second set. Fits in with the "Hyper-offense or bust" shitfest that is Smogon these days.

I went with the second se don't worryt, and apparently in the lower rating everyone fears OU THE TEAM too much to even battle it.

Third tries the charm...

There's a difference between what the higher-ups want Smogon to be and what it actually is, anon.

Quoted By:

wouldn't any competitive site/group find the "optimal" 6 pokémon though?
Some people like playing to win, if there's a team that wins a lot, it's gonna get popular.
Counters to the team will usually turn up, so there's never complete stagnation, but this is how any competitive game would work.
Seriously, not everyone has this attachment to the pokémon and just wants to beat people for their fun.

Im pretty sure its widely accepted outside of smogon battle that legendaries that are not allowed in the battle tower and such places are not allowed unless its a full on casual battle between two kids.
