Rotation Battle Strategies

Its like a triple battle and single battle combined.

I will give you a very popular OU core that would work as a massive wall in rotation battles. Well it isn't just one core but 2 cores combined since you need 5 Pokemon for rotation battles. The first one consists out of three OU-threats; Scizor, Rotom-W and Breloom. They completely cover their teammates weaknesses. Breloom is weak to fire( covered by Rotom-W), flying (covered by Rotom-W), psychic (covered by Scizor). Scizor is weak to fire (Covered by Rotom-W). Rotom-W is weak to Grass (covered by Breloom and Scizor) and takes notable damage from electric ( Covered by Breloom), in other words this core is as good as unbreakable, especially in rotation battles since you can just keep rotating your opponent into madness. If that isn't enough the tree are extremely powerful Pokemon and will be destroying almost anything, your best bet is really Scizor since after just one sword dance+it's ability Technician he can OHKO almost anything including Multiscale Dragonite after it has picked up some damage. The last 2 Pokemon can be very optional and just need to be 2 Pokemon that synergies well like Celitran( Heatran+ Celebi) or Gyarardos+Jolteon. Heatran covers all of Celebi's weaknesses ( Dark, Bug, Ghost, Flying, Ice) whiles Celebi completely covers all of Heatran's weaknesses ( Ground, Fighting, Water). The 2 or a great support and something you would really want to have instead of Gyarados+Jolteon since the latter are frailer then Celitran though they still work very well together since Jolteon can take in all of Gyarados's weaknesses ( Electric, Rock (but because Jolteon is so frail it can be knocked out or severely damaged by a strong rock type move such as Stone edge) whiles Gyarados takes in all of Jolteon's weaknesses ( Ground). I recommend Celitran in this Rotation team over Gyarados+ Jolteon. These are the recommend sets

Scizor @ Leftovers
Trait: Technician
Adamant nature
EV Spread: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SpDef
Moveset:
- Sword Dance
- U-turn/Bug Bite
- Superpower
- Bullet Punch

After one single Sword Dance you can practically OHKO everything with luck using bullet punch alone, after 2 sword Dances you can practically OHKO everything without losing the boosts when you rotate.

Rotom-W @ Choice Specs/Scarf
Trait: Levitate
Modest/Timid Nature
EV spread; 248 SpAtk / 252 HP / 8 Spe
Moveset:
- Trick
- Volt Switch
- Surf/Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [ICE]/ Will-O-Wisp

Trick is too trap certain Pokemon into one specific move with your choice item. If that isn't the case you can do severe Damage to many Pokemon when holding choice specs or revenge kill with Choice Scarf

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
Impish Nature
EV Spread: 252 Atk / 126 Def / 126 HP
Moveset:
- Spore
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Bullet seed/ Mach Punch

A Classic SubPunch set. You start with Spore, after that you can set-up and spam Focus Pubch. Every Pokemon that doesn't resist fighting moves is usually just KO'd

Celebi @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
Calm/ Modest Nature
EV spread: 252 SpAtk / 252 SpDef / 4 Spe
Moveset;
- Calm Mind
- Thunder Wave
- Giga Drain
- Psychic / Baton pass

After Just one Calm Mind, Celebi becomes almost unstoppable. Thunder wave is to cripple possible threats whiles baton pass can be used to pass over the calm mind boosts to Heatran who becomes a true tank

Heatran @ Leftovers/Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
Relaxed Nature
EV Spread: 252 SpDef / 252 HP / 4 SpAtk
Moveset:
- Taunt
- Torment
- Lava Plume
- Toxic

This is one very annoying Heatran set as it can literally troll all none-steel type Pokemon to death whiles it can hit steel types very hard with it's STAB fire attacks

This team can be made possible on showdown when they add triple battles as I know that Celebi can't be used in the Random Matchup, though you can use it in battles when you enter the wifi-room with someone on your friend list

Hope you enjoyed it

Who likes rotation battles?

I think Rotation battles are incredibly complicated, because there's ten times more prediction than in singles
