Brotom-W

[Overview]

Nothing new in BW2
Awesome typing (One weakness, Flying-type resist, Ground immunity)
Face of VoltTurn offense
Works well on VoltTurn because of its typing's synergy with good U-turners like Scizor and Landorus
~~Soon-to-be awesome partner with Genesect~~
Not very veratile, but has a few options
Fits on most teams with little support

[SET]
name: Bulky Attacker
move 1: Volt Switch
move 2: Hydro Pump
move 3: Will-o-Wisp
move 4: Pain Split / Hidden Power Ice
item: Leftovers
nature: Modest
evs: 168 HP / 120 SpA / 220 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Good counter to very common new threats
Fits well on most teams
Volt Switch is awesome, obviously
Hydro Pump is a great move for Rotom-W
WoW is a good move for a bulky attacker like Rotom-W
Pain Split for good recovery and HP Ice for Dragons (Should I OO HP Ice?)
Tbolt is much more reliable and strong too

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

Tbolt for a more reliable STAB over Pain Split
HP Grass for Gastro; use 140 SpA with this so you can net the 2HKO with rocks
Thunder Wave for para support
Discharge for Paralysis support
HP Fire?
Other spread w/ 252 HP / 252 Def to better counter some threats (Will have great emphasis in analysis)
S.Def set
252 HP / 120 SpA / 48 SpD / 88 Spe for bulkier Rotom-W
Scizor as a partner helps with Dragons, Grass types and Blissey. Mamo serves this role well too
Tornadus-T outspeeds key threats and has U-turn
Good in VoltTurn cores
Wish support
Hazard support for switches caused by Volt Switch

[SET]
name: Choice
move 1: Volt Switch
move 2: Hydro Pump
move 3: Hidden Power Ice
move 4: Trick / Thunderbolt
item: Choice Scarf / Choice Specs
nature: Timid
evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

One of the best Volt Switch'ers around
Volt Switch is obvious
Hydro Pump is a strong, awesome move that has good coverage with VS
HP Ice revenges Dragons, but that's about it
Trick fucks with Blissey / Chansey / Stall in general
WoW is good for giving stuff Burns and crippling physical stuff but is also great after Trick is used
Thunderbolt is a generally good attacking move and lets you stay in with your Electric STAB

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

Scarf is great for fast paced offense teams
Specs has good power in rain
Standard offensive spread beats 80+'s at +1
Also beats neutral Gyarados, Haxorus and Hydriegon
Modest and max Spe for more power
252 HP on Specs
Awesome in rain with Hydro Pump's power
Use this if you're even considering VoltTurn
Thunder(bolt) over x move that's not HPump or VS
HP Fire on Specs for Ferro
Signal Beam for Celebi
WoW for Burn support and utility after Trick
Thunder over Thunderbolt in rain
Scizor / Genesect as a partner
Rapid Spin support so Rotom-W doesn't die to rocks, Forretress in good in this role with Volt Switch

[Other Options]

Screens
SubSplit
ResTalk
ChestoRest
All-out offensive w/ Ebelt or LO
Signal Beam
HP Grass
Charge Beam

[Checks and Counters]

Nacho's CC
Thundurus-T and Jolteon to absorb Volt Switches
Amoongus resists both Hydro Pump and Volt Switch
Hydriegon and Kyurem resists STABs and can spamm powerful Draco Meteors
