name: Bulky Attacker
move 1: Thunderbolt
move 2: Overheat
move 3: Will-o-Wisp / Volt Switch
move 4: Protect
ability: Levitate
item: Sitrus Berry
evs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 180 SpDef
nature: Calm
Moves
========
Thunderbolt and Overheat are your main STAB attacks
Will-o-Wisp allows Rotom-H to incapacitate physical threats
Rotom-H force a lot of switches with its set of resistances which you can take advantage of with Volt Switch. It also lets you get rid of a Special Attack drop from Overheat
Protect is the bundle of useful utilities we all know and love
Set Details
========
The listed EV spread allows you to always live max Special Attack Modest Rotom-W's unboosted Hydro Pump and get to a reasonable amount of HP afterwords with your Sitrus Berry
The rest is invest into Defense. If you choose to speed creep to get the Jump on Rotom-W, detract from Defense first.
Usage Tips
========
Overheat conservatively. It's very easy to see an Overheat coming and a -2 Rotom-H is a much less intimidating threat. When in doubt, Will-o-Wisp or Volt Switch instead.
Don't keep Rotom-H in on pokemon know to occasionally carry Rock Slide or Stone Edge to dispose of Talonflame and Charizard. You'll likely live the hit, but take uncomfortable damage in the process.
Rotom-W is generally a better Pokemon than Rotom-H, unless it is well suited for the team, as Rock and Water weaknesses are hard for it.
Team Options
========
Fits in with a lot of top tier Pokemon fairly easily
Garchomp likes Rotom-H dealing with some of the bulkier Grass-types Garchomp can struggle with
Amoonguss, Ferrothorn, and Mawile all like having Rotom-H as a switch in for Talonflame and Charizard Y
Kangaskhan appreciates Rotom-H dealing with Gourgiest and Ferrothorn and Fake Out from Kangaskhan can buy Rotom-H free time to burn things.

-Overheat is a hard hitting STAB move, but lowers its Special Attack.
-Thunderbolt is a basic STAB move for it.
-Volt Switch is a STAB move that allows Rotom-H to switch out after using it.

Other Options
########
Safety Goggles make you immune to Venusaur's sleep which is a common answer to Rotom-H.
Rest Cesto is a nice strategy and great if Sitrus Berry is occupied.
Charti Berry is nice as it allows you to reduce one time the damage of a super effective Rock-type move.
Passho Berry is also nice as it reduces one time the damage of a super effective Water-type move.
Expert Belt lets you get OHKOs on Amoonguss and Mawhile with very little investment.
Discharge is cool with Manectric, as its Lightning Rod boost its Special Attack by one every time you use it, it also hits both opponents Pokemon.
Thunder Wave, Reflect, and Light Screen are all useful but team specific options to replace Will-o-Wisp for.
Checks & Counters
########
Even though Rotom-H can live its Hydro Pump with proper investment, big brother Rotom-W isn't taking too much back from Rotom-H's thunderbolt and loves switching into predicted Overheats.
Garchomp, particularly with a Lum Berry, can Rock Slide or Stone Edge Rotom-H to a KO.
Specially oriented Dragon-types that don't give up their Fire or Electric resistance with a secondary typing are good. Hydreigon and especially Goodra stand out here
Greninja can outspeed Rotom-H and hit it with Scald, Water Pledge, or Hydro Pump
Other Rotom-H can't kill other Rotom-H awkwardly enough
Overview
########
- Ungodly typing. 8 resistances that are both good and unique packaged together and an immunity to ground makes it wall many relevant Pokemon.
- Does not give a single care about what Charizard Y, Venusaur, Talonflame, Mawile, Manectric, or Amoonguss want to do by merit of said resistances
- Great partner for many top tier Pokemon like Garchomp, Mawile, Amoonguss, Kangaskhan
- Only two weaknesses is great, but those weaknesses to Rock and Water hurt a lot
- The Luigi to Rotom-W's Mario. Constantly outshined by his brother by merit of Rotom-W's neutrality to Rock, Water resistance, and easier to manage weaknesses.
- Really fantastic choice regardless. A recommended choice over Rotom-W if you're a bit scared of Mega Charizard Y and friends.
