Moves
========
Trick is able to cripple specially defensive Pokemon such as Audino, Lanturn, and Type: Null that might switch in on Rotom-F when it doesn't require the added Speed provided by the item. Defog can let Rotom-F remove entry hazards in an emergency, though the option isn't very reliable, since Rotom-F is weak to Stealth Rock and would rather not be locked in a status move most of the time.
Set Details
========
Choice Scarf allows Rotom-F to outspeed Pokemon like Oricorio-E, non-Choice Scarf Dodrio, and Silvally-Fairy, granting it its ability to check a big portion of the tier and function as a reliable revenge killer. A Timid nature allows Rotom-F to outspeed +2 Modest Omastar as well as other Choice Scarf users like Skuntank and Kabutops.
Usage Tips
========
Choice Scarf Rotom-F should try to function as a revenge killer and check to many Pokemon such as Oricorio-G, Kabutops, and Alolan Persian thanks to its unresisted coverage and formidable Speed. If the opposing team lacks a solid a solid counter such as Lanturn or Audino, this set can be utilized early-game to soften up foes for a late-game cleaner. Rotom-F is even able to break through some less bulky specially defensive Pokemon such as Eelektross thanks to its high Special Attack and BoltBeam coverage. Since Rotom-F is able to threaten Ground-types such as Mudsdale and Golurk, predict well on when to use Blizzard and when to use Volt Switch; once you successfully predict a Ground-type switch-in by using Blizzard or those Pokemon have been removed by other teammates, Rotom-F will be able to use its Electric-type STAB moves freely. Bluffing a non-Choice Scarf set can turn Rotom-F into an even more threatening revenge killer late-game if the opposing team doesn't have a faster Choice Scarf user like Primeape or a priority user such as Gurdurr. Utilizing Trick when Rotom-F doesn't require the added Speed is a valuable way of crippling expected switch-ins such as Lanturn, Assault Vest Crabominable, and Cryogonal.
Team Options
========
Fighting-type answers such as Oricorio-E, Victreebel, and Tangela are able to check or counter Pokemon such as Gurdurr and Choice Scarf Primeape, effectively threatening some of the most common revenge killers for Choice Scarf Rotom-F. In return, Rotom-F cripples their checks like Cryogonal and Lanturn with Trick. Other pivots such as Alolan Persian, Eelektross, and Primeape can form a VoltTurn core with Rotom-F to help maintain momentum and bring in offensive threats. Pokemon such as Stoutland, Lycanroc, and Kangaskhan are able to threaten slower special walls such as Audino and Lanturn, even being able to Pursuit trap them in the case of Stoutland. In return, Rotom-F is able to threaten physical walls such as Mudsdale and Tangela, as well as being able to bring these Pokemon in safely through Volt Switch. Entry hazard setters like Mudsdale and Qwilfish are able to support Rotom-F by effectively wearing down Pokemon such as Eelektross and Crabominable with Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic. They're also able to counter or threaten Choice Scarf Primeape, while Rotom-F checks Pokemon such as Victreebel and Jellicent. Due to its Stealth Rock weakness, more reliable hazard removes such as Skuntank, Alolan Sandslash, and Silvally-Fairy are valuable partners for Rotom-F. Skuntank and Alolan Sandslash appreciate Rotom-F's ability to check Ground-types, while Silvally-Fairy is also able to create a Parting Shot + Volt Switch core and check Fighting-types such as Primeape and Gurdurr.
