After Wash Rotom, Mow Rotom may be the most popular of the Electric-type's varying forms. This Electric/Grass-type version does come with several weaknesses compared to other Rotom types, but retains the strength.

The five different Rotom forms all have a base stat total of 520. That makes Mow Rotom the third strongest Grass-type Pokemon found in the main Galar region Pokedex. It has great defensive stats at 107 each and a Special Attack of 105.


#2 - Leafeon
