Paragraph 1:
Rotom-W acts as a fast pivot and is able to render defensive threats like Ferrothorn, Chansey, and Toxapex useless by tricking a Choice Scarf onto them. Hydro Pump is a powerful STAB move which can wear down bulkier teams or even sweep later on in the game. Volt Switch lets Rotom-W pivot out, allowing other Pokemon to get in somewhat safely and potentially gain momentum. Trick can be used to cripple defensive threats mentioned above by locking them into one move. Defog clears hazards which can help the whole team throughout the game and can also clear the opponent's screens, making it easier to deal damage to them. Maximum Special Attack and Speed investment along with a Timid nature allow Rotom-W to hit as hard as possible while being able to take full advantage its Speed, letting it pivot out and Defog against slower Pokemon.

Paragraph 2:
Bulkier Pokemon like Toxapex, Slowking, and Slowbro are able to take full advantage of Rotom-W's ability to be a pivot and Defogger as they also serve as pivots and can utilize Regenerator by being able to pivot in thanks to Rotom-W. Pelipper also appreciates Rotom-W's ability to pivot out as it can get in somewhat safely and setup rain. Setup sweepers like Cloyster, SubCM Primarina, and Belly Drum Azumarill also appreciate Rotom-W's ability to cripple defensive threats like Ferrothorn, Chansey, and Toxapex via Trick. However, Rotom-W lets Pokemon like Kyurem, Rotom-M, and Ninetails-Alola in for free as they can take any of Rotom-W's moves relatively well and may even benefit from Trick. Slowking is able to take hits from these Pokemon and safely pivot out via Teleport into Pokemon like Keldeo, Primarina, and Cloyster which can offensively check these threats. Toxapex is also a teammate to be considered as it take hits and can cripple these threats down through Toxic or Toxic Spikes support. Stealth Rock is also helpful in weakening these threats thus Seismitoad can be used as a hazard setter and Electric immunity for the team.

Paragraph 1: I think you forgot to take these out :x
Rotom-W acts as a fast pivot and is able to render defensive threats like Ferrothorn, Chansey, and Toxapex useless by tricking a Choice Scarf onto them. I think you should instead talk about how Rotom-W is a fast pivot that greatly helps in the Water mirror and being an emergency check to Togekiss and Azumarill. Move the stuff about Trick down to where you mention the move. Hydro Pump is a powerful STAB move which can wear down bulkier teams or even sweep later on in the game. I would also mention targets of hydro pump, but I f feel like saying it wears down bulkier teams is incorrect as it will have trouble with hat, Aegislash, Chansey if it gets Trick turn wrong etc. Volt Switch lets Rotom-W pivot out, allowing other Pokemon to get in somewhat safely and potentially gain momentum. I would also mention that it helps with breaking Togekiss sub and help with checking Azumarill. Trick can be used to cripple defensive threats mentioned above by locking them into one move. bring the stuff from the first sentence down here and add a bit about using Trick on set up sweepers like Hat and Togekiss. Defog clears hazards which can help the whole team throughout the game and can also clear the opponent's screens, making it easier to deal damage to them. Maximum Special Attack and Speed investment along with a Timid nature allow Rotom-W to hit as hard as possible while being able to take full advantage its Speed, letting it pivot out and Defog against slower Pokemon. i would give examples of what Choice Scarf Rotom-W can outpace like Cinderance and Indeedee-M etc.

Paragraph 2:
Bulkier Pokemon like Toxapex, Slowking, and Slowbro I personally dont think slowbro is too good on Water-type teams right now. are able to take full advantage of Rotom-W's ability to be a pivot and Defogger Defog user as they also serve as pivots and can utilize Regenerator by being able to pivot in thanks to Rotom-W. Pelipper also appreciates Rotom-W's ability to pivot out as it can get in somewhat safely and setup rain. Setup sweepers like Cloyster, SubCM Primarina, and Belly Drum Azumarill also appreciate Rotom-W's ability to cripple defensive threats like Ferrothorn, Chansey, and Toxapex via Trick. Add Keldeo because it helps greatly with Ferrothorn and Chansey if Rotom-W fails to Trick them. However, Rotom-W lets Pokemon like Kyurem, Rotom-M, and Ninetails-Alola in for free as they can take any of Rotom-W's moves relatively well and may even benefit from Trick. I just took down some fluff from this setence Slowking is able to take hits from these Pokemon and safely pivot out via Teleport into Pokemon like Keldeo, Primarina, and Cloyster which can offensively check these threats. Toxapex is also a teammate to be considered as it take hits I would use some examples of physical attacks it can take for Rotom-W use Haze on set up sweepers like Dragapult and can cripple these threats down through Toxic or Toxic Spikes support. Stealth Rock is also helpful in weakening these threats thus Seismitoad can be used as a hazard setter and Electric immunity for the team. I would also add Lapras now because it is being used more for being a Kyurem check.

Rotom-W acts as a fast pivot and is able to render defensive threats like Ferrothorn, Chansey, and Toxapex useless by tricking a Choice Scarf onto them.
Would definitely mention Defog here for the role compression as hazard removal

Hydro Pump is a powerful STAB move which can wear down bulkier teams or even sweep later on in the game.
Would just call out a few Pokemon that Hydro Pump is good against here; it prevents Ground-type Pokemon like Mamoswine, Diggersby, and Krookodile from switching into Volt Switch freely while hitting Electric-type Pokemon like Zeraora, Rotom-H, and Alolan Raichu.

Volt Switch lets Rotom-W pivot out, allowing other Pokemon to get in somewhat safely and potentially gain momentum.
Would note how fast Volt Switch, Trick, and Defog makes Rotom-W an exceptionally good lead as you can lead with it in a lot of matchups and cover a ton. Grab momentum against faster Pokemon, cripple slower Pokemon and Stealth Rock setters with Trick.

Trick can be used to cripple defensive threats mentioned above by locking them into one move.
Talk about setup sweepers and hazard setters and give examples for both. Those are the prime examples of Trick being really good since cancelling setup is great and you can Defog setters after you've tricked them which makes Rotm-W a lot more reliable as hazard removal

Maximum Special Attack and Speed investment along with a Timid nature allow Rotom-W to hit as hard as possible while being able to take full advantage its Speed, letting it pivot out and Defog against slower Pokemon.
Name a few things the Speed helps against specifically along with the nature. If you can't then it's fine to avoid talking about the spread at all since you only really bring it up if there's something specific in a preview

Stealth Rock is also helpful in weakening these threats thus Seismitoad can be used as a hazard setter and Electric immunity for the team.
Gastrodon > Seismitoad as an Electric immunity considering Choice Scarf Rotom-W is commonly on fat balance teams. Give important examples of Pokemon Gastrodon can switch into using its Electric immunty and bulk for Rotom-W. I'd throw it up over Slowbro since Slowbro honestly is not good on Water and physically defensive Gastrodon switches into a lot of the things Slowbro does.

It's important to talk about Spikes for the defensive Pokemon and Sticky Web for the offensive Pokemon + Cloyster as a specific example since it hates Spikes/Stealth Rock breaking its Focus Sash. I think CM Keldeo/Slowking > Belly Drum Azumarill too since Belly Drum Azumarill is super awkward to fit on Water.
