[SET COMMENTS]
Rotom-W is a great Nasty Plot sweeper for Electric teams due to Levitate and its bulk, which lets it greatly ease the Ground matchup. Stored Power deals with Unaware and Water Absorb users such as Quagsire and Clodsire, letting it threaten the entirety of Ground teams in conjunction with Hydro Pump. Substitute lets it avoid status and take advantage of passive Pokemon such as Klefki and Toxapex, eases prediction, and forces its checks such as Greninja and Ting-Lu to take damage. The given EV spread prevents Rotom-W's Substitute from breaking to Clodsire's Poison Jab while outspeeding threats such as Gholdengo.
Teammates such as Choice Scarf Sandy Shocks and Iron Hands love Rotom-W's ability to deal with or wear down bulky Pokemon such as Clodsire and Gastrodon, allowing them to clean up types like Poison and Water late-game. In return, Choice Scarf Sandy Shocks deals with fast threats such as Choice Specs Greninja, Flutter Mane, and Scovillain, while Iron Hands pressures matchups such as Dark and Dragon due to its sheer bulk and coverage in Ice Punch. Pawmot can revive Rotom-W with Revival Blessing, which allows it to take more risks. Additionally, Pawmot has good coverage moves in Seed Bomb and Ice Punch, which lets it break down types such as Water, Flying, and Ground alongside Rotom-W. Choice Specs Kilowattrel deals with fast threats such as Choice Specs Iron Valiant, Choice Specs Greninja, and Volcarona, removes Grass-types like Amoonguss and Breloom, and pivots Rotom-W in with Volt Switch or U-turn. Assault Vest users such as Magnezone and Eelektross deal with special attackers such as Flutter Mane, Hatterene, and Greninja for Rotom-W they also tend to invite in passive Pokemon, which provide it more setup opportunities.
