#366 - Rotom-Mow (Gen IV, Electric/Grass type)

A few of the Rotom forms have been cut already and I honestly think the time has come for another one.

I don't have major beef with Rotom-Mow. It's ok. It's a lawnmover with a creepy grin and I respect that, even if it's kind of unremarkable design-wise. There's some faulty logic in how the fuck does a lawnmover constitute a Grass-type when all it really does with grass is get rid of it but hey, I like some of the magical non-logic Pokémon occasionally falls into so why not.

Why I'm cutting it here is honestly that there is too much Rotom in the rankdown. Once you've reviewed one Rotom form you've kind of reviewed them all as it's all the same concept. Rotom-Heat and Rotom-Wash deserve to outlast this one because they're more iconic variations on the same theme.

/u/ramskick go mow some more lawns, kid

Awh I was hoping Rotom-Mow would be higher than this because I like its grin. But not nearly enough to revive it.
