[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

-Hidden Power Ice is a weaker but 30% more accurate option to Blizzard
-Hidden Power Ground is an option over Thunderbolt to nail threats such as Probopass
-Needs Rapid Spin support, so Pokemon such as Wartortle are good partners

[SET COMMENTS]
-Can be very deadly when used effectively

-Substitute blocks status and lets Rotom-F scout and take weak hits
-Blizzard hits extremely hard
-Thunderbolt is also STAB and provides excellent coverage alonside Blizzard
-Pain Split restores HP and can greatly hinder walls
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
-Easy to switch in because of typing and Levitate
-EV spread maximizes offensive capabilities
-Modest provides as much power as possible
-Timid provides more Speed, and lets Rotom-F outspeed threats such as Mesprit and Jolly Absol
-Life Orb lets Rotom-F hit harder, and works well with Pain Split
-Leftovers provides recovery and makes Rotom-F not as reliant on Pain Split
-Appreciates Rapid Spin support
-Forces a lot of switches, so entry hazards are a help
-Fighting-types can be a problem, so Psychic- and Poison- types are good partners
-Can severely weaken walls for its teammates, so sweepers are helpful
[Other Options]
-not many other options
-HP Ice is a more accurate option, but Blizzard's power is usually more useful
-learns Dual Screens, but weakness to Stealth Rock and weaknesses to Rock- and Fighting- make a wall set not viable
-Will-O-Wisp can be used on the choice set in the last slot to burn physical sweepers
-Hidden Power Fighting can be used on the choice set over Hidden Power Ground, but HP Ground's ability to hit more threats makes it more useful
[Checks and Counters]
-Stealth Rock greatly cripples Rotom-F
-Scarf Sawk outruns all variants of non-Timid Rotom-F
-Fighting-types
-Max Speed Cryogonal outruns Rotom-F
-Scarf set can be played around with prediction
-Bulky Rock-types can massacre it, but all of them outside of Probopass are easily 2HKO'd by Thunderbolt
-Bulky Rock-types also need to watch out for Hidden Power Ground
-Blizzard's low accuracy can allow special walls to have more of a chance
-Musharna and Gardevoir
-Faster Pokemon with super effective moves
