[SET COMMENTS]
Rotom-C's decent bulk and STAB combination make it a reliable and potent bulky pivot, punishing Electric-immune Pokemon like Sandslash and Lanturn with Leaf Storm. Pain Split capitalizes on Rotom-C's low natural HP and provides it with recovery beyond Leftovers. High-HP Pokemon like Snorlax, Brute Bonnet, and Muk looking to switch into Rotom-C are prime targets for Pain Split and otherwise comfortably stomach Rotom-C's attacks. Will-O-Wisp neuters physical attackers like the aforementioned high-HP Pokemon as well as Passimian and Virizion. Alternatively, Thunder Wave can slow down fast threats like Mismagius and Whimsicott. Leftovers is Rotom-C's only form of recovery beyond Pain Split, while Heavy-Duty Boots keeps it healthier in the face of entry hazards as it pivots. Tera Ghost provides Rotom-C extra defensive presence against Hisuian Sneasel and Virizion to hinder them with status. The resistances provided by Tera Dragon help Rotom-C deal with Fire-type threats like Charizard and Oricorio-F while preserving its Water, Electric, and Grass resistances, ensuring it maintains its positive matchups against Lanturn and opposing Rotom-C. Tera Steel disrupts Psychic-types like Mesprit and Farigiraf, and its synergy with Levitate works well against Ground-types like Sandslash and Sandaconda.
Rotom-C's capacity to punish Electric-immune Pokemon with Leaf Storm makes it a good fit for VoltTurn teams. Offensive pivots like Floatzel, Passimian, and Grafaiai form good pivot cores with Rotom-C. In particular, Floatzel deals with Fire-types, Passimian nails bulky Normal-types as well as Cryogonal, and Grafaiai pressures Grass-types like Shaymin as well as Virizion. Clawitzer can tank a Fire-type attack and break through special walls like Snorlax as well as Arboliva, and it benefits from Rotom-C drawing in and pivoting out on these targets for it. Regirock, Snorlax, and Lanturn can answer Fire-types like Charizard and Oricorio-F for Rotom-C. While Rotom-C does have an immunity to Spikes, it still appreciates Stealth Rock being off the field as it pivots if it's not holding Heavy-Duty Boots; Sandslash, Hitmontop, and Hattrem can all keep the field clear for Rotom-C. Rotom-C's ability to deal with Lanturn and Regirock is greatly appreciated by Fire-types like Charizard, Typhlosion, and Oricorio-F. Other powerful offensive threats, such as Mismagius, benefit from the free switches Rotom-C can provide with Volt Switch. Notably, Glastrier, Sneasel, and Hisuian Sneasel can deal with the Grass-types that Rotom-C invites in. Setup sweepers with middling Speed like Mesprit and Hisuian Qwilfish can set up more easily thanks to the positioning Rotom-C can provide, and the latter presures Grass-types. Specially defensive walls like Snorlax and Lanturn can switch into Vikavolt for Rotom-C, while Ground-types like Sandslash and Sandaconda can deal with faster Poison-types like Grafaiai and Hisuian Sneasel for Rotom-C.
