[OVERVIEW]
Rotom-F is a moderately fast wallbreaker capable of dishing out major damage thanks to its STAB BoltBeam coverage, further supported by its access to Nasty Plot. Additionally, Rotom-Frost has an excellent support movepool, through featuring Will-O-Wisp, Defog, Pain Split, and Trick. Rotom-F is also able to make use of its wonderful offensive typing as a Defogger to threaten common entry hazard setters such as Druddigon and Sandaconda. However, Rotom-F has a limited offensive movepool outside of its STAB moves, which leaves it completely walled by several common Pokemon in the tier like Lanturn and Togedemaru. On top of this, its poor defensive typing, lack of reliable recovery, and susceptibility to Knock Off give Rotom-F severe longevity issues compared to other entry hazard removers such as Tsareena, Charizard, and Whimsicott. Additionally, Vikavolt is much more useful to many teams as an offensive Electric-type pivot thanks to its higher Special Attack, better coverage, and access to Roost.

With Nasty Plot and Volt Switch, Rotom-F is capable of wearing down common specially defensive tanks such as Gigalith and Aromatisse. Pain Split is an option to replenish HP and punish switch-ins with high HP stats like Lanturn, which can easily switch into boosted Blizzard. Will-O-Wisp, on the other hand, allows Rotom-F to cripple Togedemaru and Gigalith. Offensive partners such as Archeops and Whimsicott make for fine pairings, as they can offensively check common Fighting-types like Scrafty and Gallade while also helping Rotom-F in wearing down Lanturn and Whimsicott, respectively. Archeops also completes a fantastic VoltTurn core thanks to its ability to pivot on bulky Ground- and Grass-types like Sandaconda, Palossand, and Tangela in order to bring in Rotom-F safely.

Pain Split provides Rotom-F with the ability to regain HP while chipping bulkier switch-ins like Lanturn, Gigalith, and Miltank. However, Will-O-Wisp is an option for crippling Steel-types like specially defensive Aggron and Togedemaru. Rotom-Frost partners excellently with Lanturn, as it creates a good VoltTurn core and provides a key Fire-type resistance for Pokemon that threaten Rotom-F like Charizard and Magmortar. Additionally, Lanturn enjoys Rotom-F's ability to offensively check Grass-types like Gourgeist and Trevenant. Other wallbreakers that can take advantage of Gigalith, such as Gourgeist-S and Poliwrath, make for good offensive partners.

[OVERVIEW]
Rotom-Frost is a moderately fast wallbreaker capable of dishing out significant damage thanks to its wonderful STAB BoltBeam coverage, further supported with its newly found access in to? although I'm not sure referencing that it got a new move this gen will make much sense once this analysis is up for a while Nasty Plot. Additionally, Rotom-Frost has an excellent supportive movepool through the likes of Will-O-Wisp, Toxic, Defog, and Pain Split as well as item disruption capabilities with Trick. Rotom-Frost is also able to make use of its wonderful offensive typing as a Defogger to threaten common hazard setters such as Druddigon and Sandaconda. However, Rotom-Frost has a limited offensive movepool outside of its STAB moves, which leaves it walled completely by several common Pokemon in the tier like Lanturn and SpDef Togedemaru. On top of this, its poor defensive typing, no reliable recovery options outside of Pain Split, and susceptibility to Knock Off often leave Rotom-Frost outclassed by several other hazard removers such as Tsareena, Charizard, or Whimsicott. Conversely, Heliolisk is much more useful for many teams as an offensive pivot thanks to key immunities and its much higher Speed, damage output, and stronger coverage. drop obv, i think the best comparison is that vikavolt tends to be the better very strong uncommon boots elec thanks to coverage and roost

With Nasty Plot and Volt Switch, Rotom-Frost is capable of wearing down common specially defensive tanks such as Gigalith and Regirock who runs spdef regirock lol, don't know about this mention. Pain Split is an option to replenish HP as well as to punish switch-ins with high HP stats like Lanturn; who is more than capable of switching into even boosted Blizzard with ease. Will-O-Wisp on the other hand, allows Rotom-Frost to cripple Togedemaru and Gigalith. Offensive partners such as Toxicroak nop or Whimsicott make for fine pairings - as either of these can offensively check common Fighting-types like Passimian and Scrafty, whilst also helping Rotom-Frost in wearing down Togedemaru or Lanturn respectively. would like 1 more partner example for something to overload lanturn

Rotom-Frost struggles to provide momentum for teams utilizing defensive Electric-types with key immunities like Lanturn and Togedemaru. So because of this, Rotom-Frost tends to not provide much versatility comparatively to other hazard removers like Tsareena and Charizard respectively. However, having Ice STAB and access to Defog as well as being immune to Glare thanks to its Electric-typing allow Rotom-Frost to offensively threaten most hazard setters in the tier such as Sandaconda and Druddigon. why are these first 3 sentences here at all? this stuff was already covered in the overview and the last set and it doesn't belong in set comments. I have genuinely no clue what they're purpose is here or why they shouldn't be completely deleted, if you meant to communicate something that I'm not getting then by all means try to fix the messaging but honestly none of it seems worth keeping. Furthermore, its bevvy of support moves are interchangeable depending on the team. oh and this sentence would go too, just start explaining at split vs wisp vs toxic. also where is the split mention? Will-O-Wisp is better suited for crippling Steel-types like SpDef Aggron and Togedemaru, however Toxic can be very useful for wearing down Lanturn and Gigalith. Rotom-Frost partners excellently with its own Lanturn, as it provides a good VoltTurn core and a key Fire-resist from the likes of Charizard and Magmortar. Additionally, Lanturn enjoys Rotom's efforts in offensively checking Grass-types like Gourgeist and Trevenant. Tsareena forms a wonderful duo of hazard removal options, as it not only threatens Rotom-Frost's aforementioned counters, but also appreciates being safely brought in versus the likes of Gigalith.

On top of this, its poor defensive typing, no reliable recovery options outside of Pain Split, and susceptibility to Knock Off often leave Rotom-Frost outclassed by several other hazard removers such as Tsareena, Charizard, or Whimsicott all of these example have one of the same flaws or both, would just phrase differently and/or just compare to normal rotom. Conversely, Vikavolt is much more useful for many teams as an offensive pivot thanks to it being a significantly stronger Electric-type with better coverage and longevity with Roost in tandem with Heavy-Duty Boots I think Galvantula is a better comparison due to having a good speed tier and similar with no consistent recovery, but u can include both since both r better tbh.

Likewise, Rotom-Frost appreciates pivoting into Passimian on incoming Gigalith, specially defensive Scrafty, and Thick Fat Miltank.

(I understand that this is a bigger change here, but it conveys the same information more clearly and concisely)

Pain Split provides Rotom-Frost with the ability to regain HP whilst while chipping bulkier switch-ins like Lanturn, Gigalith, and Miltank. However, Will-O-Wisp is an option for crippling Steel-types like specially defensive (Lowercase) Aggron and Togedemaru. Rotom-Frost partners excellently with Lanturn, as it creates a good VoltTurn core and provides a key Fire-resist Fire-type resistance for Pokemon that threaten Rotom-Frost like Charizard and Magmortar. Additionally, Lanturn enjoys Rotom's Rotom-F's ability to offensively check Grass-types like Gourgeist and Trevenant. Other wallbreakers that can abuse take advantage of Gigalith, such as Gourgeist-S and Poliwrath, make for good offensive partners.
