Rotom-Mow is retarded. Best Swampert counter in the game. It is immune to it's EQ's and takes nothing from it's water attacks. Leaf Storm is a guaranteed OHKO. It also makes a fantastic revenge killer with Choice Scarf.
Rotom Wash does not, Rotom Fridge and Rotom Heat do.As reported by the Smogcast, rotom W and F resist the infamous bolt beam combo, which is indeed quite "fancy". the only other things I can think of that do this are seaking with lighting rod and lanturn.
Just Thick Fat Mamoswine, Magnezone, and Shedinja, I believe. Still, boltbeam isn't used very much - didn't they say that in the Smogcast? There aren't a whole lot of viable users. Since nobody but Rotom-F gets STAB on the two, neutral damage often just isn't enough. And Rotom-F's Blizzard is pretty much unusable outside of hail.As reported by the Smogcast, rotom W and F resist the infamous bolt beam combo, which is indeed quite "fancy". the only other things I can think of that do this are seaking with lighting rod and lanturn.
Ummm it's like the most common set of moves on offensive water types (though often not true Bolt/Beam, usually HP Electric is used when they lack access to bolt but still). Starmie, Suicune, Milotic, Lanturn, Vaporeon, ect... Are all viable Bolt/Beamers. Outside of waters, things like Gengar/Tyranistar and almost any electric type like Jolteon/Raikou (with HP Ice since they lack Ice Beam) and you have a decent number of pokes who can run Bolt/Beam.Still, boltbeam isn't used very much - didn't they say that in the Smogcast?

Are you kidding me?? My point is easy to understand. You can add moves, abilities, attacks, etc. You can add whatever the fuck you want to a new game, but taking something away from a pokemon (like it's typing) just doesn't make any sense.You realize how ridiculous your argument is, right? I could say the same about the creation of Stealth Rock. "In previous generations, hazards have been created that take a specific percent of HP away, but never before has Game Freak created an entry hazard that had a specific typing. What blasphemy! Why not create a Stealth Dragon as well?? That would be a lot more effective in terms of hitting Pokemon for normal effectiveness!"
That's really not a good way to argue and it just makes you sound unintelligent.
It makes complete sense. They can do anything they want with THEIR game. Who are you to say what they can and can't do?Are you kidding me?? My point is easy to understand.

Leaf Storm is 4x resisted by so many common OU Pokemon.. Salamence, Dragonite, Scizor, Heatran, Nattorei, Forretress.. Any of these could be easy switch ins that get to set up because you need to switch out into something that can actually take them.Rotom-Mow is retarded. Best Swampert counter in the game.
