Rotom Heat or Frost for my Platinum playthrough?

Question

I'm Playing Platnium and I'm wondering if I should have a Heat Rotom or Frost Rotom on my team.

Comments

in gen 4, all the rotom forms are electric ghost type. They don't change types like they do in later gens. So it doesn't really make a difference except if you want blizzard or fire blast.

You should be able to fly to Eterna City and change your form almost anytime, so just use whichever form is strong against the gym leader or Elite 4 member you haven't beaten yet.

Answer 1

First off, you won't be able to change Rotom Forms without the Secret Key, which is no longer obtainable without the use of cheats or a spoofed server to get the Mystery Gift.

Secondly, each of the Rotom Forms in Platinum are all Electric-Ghost in Generation 4. They also have the same 520 base stat total of each other (except base Rotom), which means the Rotom form I recommend is the one with your preferred move. Do you want Overheat? Use Heat. Do you want Blizzard? Use Frost. I think just about every form aside from maybe Fan is useful in their own way, so it's all personal preference.
