3rd zomg.

Flygon counter AND Palkia G counter in one, not to mention a good attack against any card needing alot of setup. Overall, great tech.

8/10
 
I don't like tech that have only seventy hp and need three energies...

that's ALOT of development to such a little guy...
 
With Spin storm and you get a heads,its like a Machamp GL Brush Off, though a bit flippy. Good counter to Flygon. 7/10
 
Seriously, people are going to put this in decks so they can 2HKO a Flygon after putting 3 Energy on a 70 HP Basic???

Really??

:rolleyes:

I know it's a OHKO with Lake Boundary or Lucario GL, but even so . . . too slow and too feeble.

3/10

Agreed three energy for the OHKO.

Nope wrong Three energy and a Lucario Gl for the OHKO

And what if they have the Lv.X so you can't OHKO it?

Really hyped card.

3/10
 
I really don't see why this is good.

Poor attacks and terrible HP.

Only good, if you are using arotom deck, to try and hit everything for super effective. (with Lucario G as support)

...to the deck help thread!
 
I can't offer a good review since I don't play or follow the metagame anymore, but it's definitely interesting and could prove useful. The free retreat is nice, and the first attack is nice for using against evolved Pokemon with plenty of energy attached in a tight situation. Also could be used for a quick lucky win if the opponent only has no benched Pokemon.

But..
What I really wanted to say is... WOW does that look like one of those old fake shiny sticker cards you would see in the vending machines years ago (except usually in Japanese) :lol:!
 
Today's CotD is Fan Rotom from RR. Statwise, 70 HP is nice for a Basic, +20 Weakness to :dark: is ok since :dark: Pokemon aren't common, -20 Resistance to :colorless is nice (Flygon fails), and no Retreat Cost is great. Fan Shift is a nice Poke-Power, letting you turn Fan Rotom from a :lightning into a :colorless type for your turn; in particular, this makes him a great tech against decks like Flygon. Spin Storm is decent for :colorless:colorless, giving you a 50/50 chance of "blowing" the Defending Pokemon back into your opponent's hand (very nice if you can get rid of a big threat). Air Slash is a bit expensive at :colorless:colorless:colorless for 60 and a chance to discard an Energy off Fan Rotom, but with a Lucario GL or Lake Boundary in play, this attack will OHKO Flygon, which is a very nice bonus. For the Lv X though, you'd need to come up with another 20 damage somehow, which isn't too hard.

Modified - 8/10 (One of the better Rotom forms at the moment, if only for its fun techability against the overrated Flygon. Would be lower otherwise if Flygon wasn't as abundant)
Limited - 8/10 (Good here as well since you can be super effective against 2 different Weaknesses)
Unlimited - 1/10 (No use here, as many cards are)
 
As you all said, it is nice for flygon, but ditto is better, so why play this card? Free retreat is good, so it makes it a little better tech than before, but still ditto is a better anti-flygon, and flygon isnt that popular right now so that everydeck needs one, its just in a couple decks right now.

The attacks are overpriced and way too flippy, 4/10
 
you can get the turn 1 win with this thing if you go second. 1 energy to fan rotom play bronzong g flints to bronzong use its power to give it to fan rotom and flip for the game lol but its most likely not gonna happen, anyway, cool pic and the only rotom i got so i give it a 6/10

also its the fancy flygon tech.
