Will you end your life or nah
nah I'll just get good
No because Scald will be reduced to 55 Power.
>SuMo
Nobody post SuMo below this line. I have severe autism attacks whenever I see anyone post SuMo. Please call the games SM.

Continue on with the thread.

>>29676514
It doesn't matter. Rotom already has acess to Will-O-Wisp which is more accurate for burns. Scald is really just a two-in-one offer, but Rotom doesn't really have 4 slot syndrome anyway.

I'm sorry :'(
>>29676607
Dude i think you're underestimating how good it is to have a STAB move that 95% of Pokemon can never safely switch into, there's a reason UU wanted to ban it for a while
>>29676608
It's okay, OP has apologized here >>29676610 and he has atoned for his grievous sin (posting S*M* instead of SM)
You may continue discussing possible move tutors combos that would make you consider suicide.
>>29676574
Me too. It's obviously S&M, and it pisses me off that these weebus are still saying SuMo.
>>29676691
>never safely
Just use ANY Dry Skin or Water Absorb user. Or a special attacker who doesn't care for burns. Or a mon with a healing move.
Seriously, Hydro Pump is better in many many ways.
>>29676698
Kys please. Thank you.
>>29676752
Yeah dude there's so many different Water Absorb users that are viable in OU outside of stall/balance
>>29676776
Which is why doing more damage is more important than doing a passive status infliction.
>>29676514
Hopefully the other Rotom formes would get a different move + a new Hidden Ability to make up for it:
>Mow Rotom: Giga Drain + Sap Sipper
>Heat Rotom: Lava Plume + Flash Fire
>Wash Rotom: Scald + Water Absorb
>Frost Rotom: Frost Breath + Snow Warning
>Fan Rotom: Hurricane + Speed Boost
Tapu Fini is probably the best switch in to scald and she also walls Keldeo so yeah.
>>29676828
>Frost Rotom: Frost Breath
Are you stupid? What a shit move to give it.
>>29676726

the seventh generation of Pokemon games is called SM. Final warning.

you're no better than the S*M*f*gs that my friend is trying to stop.
It would be crazy if Fan Rotom got Hurricane and Thunder and Will o' Wisp with a hidden ability of Compoundeyes.

>>29676817
It's not just about the status infliction itself (which is extremely useful), it's about the risk of inlicting it. With Scald users you always have to think about wether you can afford to potentially get your water resist burned when switching them in, it's an incredibly strong tool for mindgames.
>>29676887
>Implying any of the other h abilities are any usefull
Nigga you want to die to an earthquake or what?
>>29676909
Most Keldeo don't tend to be physical
>>29676881SuMo
>>29676852
There aren't many better Special Ice-type moves that it could get, though. Let's take a look:
>Icy Wind
Lol.
>Ice Beam
Solid, but also really generic.
>Freeze-Dry
Would be alright, except it already has STAB Electric moves. Still useful against Water/Ground-types, Kingdra, and Ludicolo, though.
>Aurora Beam
LOL
>Powder Snow
Loving.
Every.
Laugh.
>Sheer Cold
...I guess?
And it's not like you aren't just going to stick to HA + Blizzard instead.
>>29676887
Then just don't use the Hidden Ability.This is mostly to get Fan Rotom an ability that it can actually benefit from.
>>29676514
Nah, I'm not a competitivefag.
>>29676917
I agree, but Rotom doesn't play with percentual mind tricks, players already have to be weary of Will-O-Wisp when switching in on it. I mean, sure, Scald would have its niches, but personally I'd still use Hydro Pump. The damage output is just that more useful to me.
>>29676991
>Rotom-Refrigerator
>Not Refrigerate
>Not Hyper Voice
kys
>>29676514
If theres any pokemon that deserves scald, its the washing machine pokemon.
>>29677107
>its the Samsung washing machine pokemon
;^)
>>29677062
Blizzard + Hail damage is slightly more powerful than Refrigerate Hyper Voice, especially on bulkier foes.
>>29676852
Ice Beam: 90 BP, 100 acc, 10PP, 10% freeze chancee.
Frost Breath: 60 BP, 90 acc, 10PP, Always crits, giving it effective 90 BP.
It's 10 accuracy and 10% freeze chance for ignoring special defense buffing (including screens).
It's more niche, but sure as fuck ain't shit.
>>29677303
If it's so niche no one uses it, it is shit.

Nah. I don't give a shit about Rotom.
>>29676514

>>29677488
No one uses it because its distribution is utter shit
I think i'd be more afraid of the other Rotom forms having scald since they share a movepool aside from their one STAB move.

This is too autistic to say under my ckey, but..
If there was a SS13 T.V show, that would be the outro song. Some day soon, we meet again. Even though the station is in chaos, well meet again under different pretenses, under different roles, and yet still live the same existence.

I'd be much more worried if rotom got reliable recovery. Scald over Hydro Pump just lessens it's already low kill power, which isn't really worth it when it already has guaranteed burns in Will-o-Wisp. Not sure what would even be worth running on top of Pain Split/Volt Switch/Scald. Hex? Toxic?
