[OVERVIEW]
- Good for gaining momentum with Volt Switch
- Useful for crippling physically attacking foes
- Helpful with removing threatening Flying-, Water-, Rock-, Ground-, and Fire-types
- Levitate allows it to be immune to Ground-type moves, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and the rare Electroweb; Levitate doesn't block Stealth Rock damage, damage can slowly wear it down
- Good bulk that allows it to live a lot of hits; it can be used as a switch-in
- bulky, all priority moves are neutral or Rotom-W resists it
- All access to recovery is unreliable (Pain Split, Rest) or weak (Parabolic Charge)
- Priority moves it has access too are physical, making it harder to take out faster attackers
- Only coverage for Grass-types (its only weakness) is HP Fire / Ice / Poison / Flying / Bug, which lowers its EVs and makes it less reliable offensively and defensively (Signal Beam is available too but is a bit weak and is generally bad)

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
- Will-O-Wisp lets Rotom-W cripple physical attackers (Mega Scizor, Landorus-T, Kangaskhan, Stoutland, Tyranitar, Azumarill)
- Volt Switch gets boosted by STAB and allows Rotom-W to gain momentum and hits Azumarill, Mega Charizard Y, Aerodactyl, Braviary, Mega Gyarados, and Gyarados for super effective damage
- Scald is also boosted by STAB and hits Landorus-T, Tyranitar, Mega Charizard Y, Heatran, Aerodactyl, Mega Tyranitar, and Talonflame for super effective damage
- Pain Split allows Rotom-W to regain HP along with Leftovers, but it's hard to use due to the fact that you can't tell if the foe's HP is higher or lower than Rotom-W's, making it risky
- Rest allows Room-W to fully recover its health and cure any possible status ailments; it should primarily be used with Chesto Berry, however.
Set Details
========
- Leftovers gives Rotom-W a form of passive recovery, but it shouldn't be used when you're using Rest over Pain Split
- Chesto Berry should be used when Rest is being used because it lets Rotom-W wake up immediately after using Rest for the first time (if it isnt knocked off beforehand)
- Levitate provides Rotom-W with an immunity to Ground-type moves, making it a counter to Pokemon that use Ground-type moves for STAB or coverage such as Landorus-T and Tyranitar
- 60 SpA EVs allow Rotom-W to 2HKO Landorus-T, Mega Tyranitar, and Tyranitar [when the sandstorm has dissipated] (even after Leftovers if they have Leftovers)
- 248 EVs in HP and 200 EVs in SpD with a Calm nature let Rotom-W live a Knock Off from Tyranitar
