Wash Rotom is a Basic Water Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Rotom (#479), generation 4 (Sinnoh).

Shigenori Negishi illustrated this card. The same name is on 151 other cards in the catalog.

Rotom (#479) has 49 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2026. The earliest other card is Rotom 7/106 in Great Encounters (2008). That card is named Rotom, while this one is Wash Rotom. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Daisuke Ito illustrated that card, and Shigenori Negishi illustrated this one. 40 other cards of Rotom list a different HP.

Roto Motor is listed as Ability. If you have 9 or more Pokémon Tool cards in your discard pile, ignore all Energy in the attack cost of each of this Pokémon's attacks. The attack Wash Arrow lists no damage number. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its body is composed of plasma. It is known to infiltrate electronic devices and wreak havoc."

I keep a set binder for SM Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the SM Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rotom can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are All Rotom cards. I still need this card.
