GG Rotom-H (GP 0/1)

[SET]
name: Pivot (HP)
move 1: Overheat
move 2: Volt Switch
move 3: Pain Split / Defog
move 4: Will-O-Wisp
item: Heavy-Duty Boots
ability: Levitate
nature: Calm
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD

Rotom-H's unique set of resistances and good bulk make it a potent specially defensive pivot, as it can switch into top special attackers like Tapu Koko and Heatran. Rotom-H excels at bringing teammates such as Tapu Lele and Zygarde-10% in safely with Volt Switch, as it threatens common Ground-types such as Landorus-T with Will-O-Wisp. Overheat, in addition to being Rotom-H's strongest attack, provides coverage against the numerous Grass- and Steel-types in the metagame like Tangrowth and Necrozma-DM. Will-O-Wisp also helps check Rayquaza and Rillaboom, which its excellent typing allows it to check without significant Defense investment. Pain Split allows Rotom-H to stay healthy, which is useful in longer games. It can also opt for Defog, since it matches up well into common entry hazard setters such as Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, and Necrozma-DM.

Rotom-H fits best on bulky offense teams that have high HP gods, such as Yveltal, Mewtwo, and Kyurem-W. Yveltal is an especially good partner since it appretiates Rotom-H checking Tapu Koko. Other pivoting teammates like Tapu Koko, Landorus-T, and the aforementioned Yveltal form potent VoltTurn cores with Rotom-H. Strong wallbreakers such as Weavile, Tapu Lele, and Zygarde-10% appreciate Rotom-H bringing them onto the field safely. Grass-types such as Dhelmise and Rillaboom make excellent partners, as they threaten Rotom-H's number one enemy, Gastrodon. Knock Off severely threatens Rotom-H because of its reliance on Heavy-Duty Boots to not get worn down by Stealth Rock, so Knock Off switch-ins such as Buzzwole and Clefable make for great teammates. Finally, other special walls such as Tangrowth and Slowbro help cover special attackers that don't fear Rotom-H, like Kyurem-W and Volcanion.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Toxic can be used to wear down bulky Pokemon such as Gastrodon, Ho-Oh, and Giratina over time, as well as check Volcarona, but Will-O-Wisp is generally preferred. Thunder Wave is also an option to aid slower wallbreakers, but makes it a worse check to Rillaboom.

Checks and Counters
===================
**Gastrodon**: Gastrodon resists Overheat and is immune to Volt Switch, and it does not care much about getting burned. Only Toxic Rotom-H can threaten it.

**Dragon-Types**: Giratina and Kyurem-W are able to consistently switch into Rotom-H without fearing its STAB moves or common status options. Kyurem-W can also threaten Rotom-H with Turboblaze Earth Power.

**Knock Off**: Rotom-H's reliance on Heavy-Duty Boots for longevity leaves it an easy target for Knock Off from the likes of Tangrowth, Rillaboom, and Zeraora.

**Toxic Users**: Toxic from Pokemon like Landorus-T and Heatran completely cripples Rotom-H and wears it down considerably, leaving it vulnerable to the Pokemon it's supposed to check.

This is a good first start! One thing to watch out for is run on sentences; don't be afraid to break up your ideas into multiple sentences to keep the focused and to the point.

Let me know when you've had a chance to review and implement my notes, and feel free to reach out on discord with any questions! Let me know when you're ready for me to take another look as well.
