Rotom is an excellent bulky pivot, forcing out common staples like Scyther and Qwilfish with Volt Switch while having a positive matchup against Sandaconda, the most common Volt Switch absorber in the tier. Will-O-Wisp neuters physical attackers such as Passimian and Toxicroak and powers up Hex to chunk special walls like Eelektross and Muk. Protect racks up Leftovers recovery and burn damage while scouting moves from Choice item users such as Zoroark, Bruxish, and Passimian. Tera Electric powers up Volt Switch and removes Rotom's weaknesses to Dark and Ghost, improving its matchup against Mabosstiff, Umbreon, Haunter, and opposing Rotom. Tera Steel gives Rotom a great defensive typing with Levitate, which allows it to shrug off Sandaconda's Ground- and Rock-type coverage as well as take resisted damage from common moves like Lurantis's Leaf Storm and Lycanroc's Stone Edge. Because of Rotom's vulnerability to chip damage, it benefits greatly from reliable entry hazard removal from Pokemon such as Scyther and Lurantis. Powerful wallbreakers such as Ursaring and Medicham appreciate Rotom pivoting them safely into play. Rotom is quite vulnerable to faster attackers such as Zoroark and Bruxish, so it appreciates being paired with defensive stops to these threats, such as Muk and Umbreon. Passimian is a fantastic partner that forms a VoltTurn core with Rotom and revenge kills its offensive checks; it also appreciates Rotom weakening Sandaconda.
