Hmm this is my first time trying to pass a set through QC. I hope it doesn't get rejected :)

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Rotom-C's unique Electric / Grass typing makes it a huge asset to rain teams. It has a 4x Electric-type resistance and 2x resistance to Grass, allowing it to switch in easily on these moves its Water-type teammates often attract. This means that each time the rain ends and a Water-type sweeper is on the field, Rotom-C can easily switch in to take a hit, then summon the downpour again. While one might think that Uxie—the most common weather supporter—outclasses Rotom-C in this role thanks to its superior bulk, Rotom-C's great typing is what makes it so useful in supporting rain teams, as its useful resistances allow it to easily sponge hits that are directed at rain abusers. Futhermore, Rotom-C itself benefits from the rain, which decreases the power of Fire-type moves and grants it a perfectly accurate Thunder. It can even provide additional support to the team when rain is present, proving itself not to be a deadweight most of the time; Rotom-C can easily come in and threaten bulky Water-types that might wall your rain sweepers. This means that it can easily maintain offensive pressure even while supporting the team.</p>

<p>Rain Dance, being the compulsory form of support for all rain teams, is the crux of this set. Volt Switch enables Rotom-C to switch out and bring in a sweeper safely once rain is up. Also, as Rotom-C is weak to Fire and Ice, it has good synergy with Water-type sweepers when using Volt Switch. Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp are both great options for providing additional support to the team; the former slows down threats, proving to be useful when rain is absent and the Swift Swim ability of teammates is deactivated, while the latter makes it easier for teammates such as Omastar to set up on physical attackers. However, it is best not to use these support moves when rain is active, as it will cause a turn of rain to be wasted. This means that Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp are only secondary support options that Rotom-C can provide outside rain; the main aim is to set up rain and switch out via Volt Switch. Leaf Storm is a neat coverage move to punish Ground-types and Lanturn trying to prevent Rotom-C from Volt Switching out. Overall, with its unique typing and great offensive presence, Rotom-C is a huge asset to any rain team and has a niche over Uxie when it comes to rain support.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>The given EV spread allows Rotom-C to sponge hits better, making it easier to set up rain. Maximum Special Attack EVs and a Modest nature are used to to provide additional power, allowing Rotom-C to maintain an offensive presence. Additionally, the lack of Speed EVs also provides Rotom-C with a slower Volt Switch, allowing its teammate to come in unharmed most of the time. An alternative EV spread of 120 HP / 252 SpA / 136 Spe can be used to outspeed Honchkrow, which is often a threat to rain teams thanks to its powerful Sucker Punch. However, this will sacrifice some of Rotom-C's bulk, making it harder to set up rain against stronger attackers. Damp Rock is the compulsory item here to prolong the rain. Pain Split is an option over Thunder Wave or Will-O-Wisp to give Rotom-C a semi-reliable recovery move, though it will usually not have the opportunity to heal itself as it rarely stays in for more than one turn. Thunder is a viable option for more power, as it has perfect accuracy in rain; however, the aforementioned dual STAB moves generally have more utility.</p>

<p>Teammates that can abuse the rain that Rotom-C summons are mandatory, as this set is often used only on rain teams. Gorebyss and Omastar are wonderful rain sweepers with access to Shell Smash, and have great synergy with Rotom-C. Rotom-C resists the attacks that they are weak to, while Levitate also means that it can switch in on Ground-type attacks aimed at Omastar. Qwilfish is yet another good teammate, as it resists the Ice- and Bug-type attacks Rotom-C is weak to, while the latter can shrug off the Electric- and Ground-type attacks targeting it. All in all, this set aims to support rain teams multiple times by making it rain cats and dogs, while also being able to keep a strong offensive presence, abusing Rotom-C's typing to the fullest.</p>
 
ready for QC! but i need help with EV spread ._.

indeed uxie has better bulk but Rotom-C has better utility :D

edit: I'm thinking of slashing in Sunny Day with Heat Rock since it's immune to Ground and resists Water and still screws bulky Water-types. But I don't play sun so I'm not sure if it'll work out :x
 
i think you should mention Thunder in the AC. While Leaf Storm is stronger, and VS has utility, it's certainly an attractive STAB move over TWave
 
looks like a very solid set imo! agreeing that Thunder needs a line somewhere, and perhaps mention a fully defensive EV spread in AC?

/was never here
 
Yeah, give Thunder an AC mention, but no more. I've used this, and it's really cool, what with the utility that Volt Switch provides for Rain teams, but Thunder is a rather inferior option on it, imo, since it's almost always better not to outright attack but rather volt switch to one of the Rain sweepers.

QC APPROVED 1/3
 
I would make a mention of a slower more defensive EV spread in AC since it gives Rotom a slow Volt Switch out which lets it take the hit from an opponent and bring in a teammate unscathed.

contrib_qc.png


QC APPROVED 3/3
 
Tbh I would just go with a max hp / max SpA spread for the most bulk. Speed evs aren't really necessary as you want it to stay around for as long as possible in order to set up rain multiple times

The former is useful for slowing down threats, especially when rain is absent and Swift Swim ability of teammates are deactivated. The latter makes it easier for teammates such as Omastar to set up on a burnt physical attacker. However, it is best not to use these support moves when rain is active, as it will cause a turn of rain to be wasted.

nice analysis, BUT i feel like both of the two paragraphs are a little long? maybe split them into four total paragraphs? ive already split them in my gp check where i deemed it appropriate, but obviously it's all up to you, the writer. im just throwin out a suggestion!

Lol this is the longest set I've written. Thanks for the checks! :D

This is done! :)

oh and I added a sentence in AC about slow Volt Switch...
