move 1: Nasty Plot
move 2: Leaf Storm
move 3: Thunderbolt / Volt Switch

evs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe
tera type: Steel
Nasty Plot turns Rotom-C into a deadly wallbreaker, capable of busting through teams without a Cyclizar or Hisuian Goodra. Leaf Storm hits Pokemon such as Slowbro, Hippowdon, Rhyperior and Basculegion-F extremely hard. Thunderbolt complements Leaf Storm well, hitting the Poison-, Fire-, Steel-, and Bug-type Pokemon that resist Leaf Storm neutrally and the Flying-type Pokemon that resist Leaf Storm super effectively. It also allows Rotom-C to zap Water-type Pokemon such as Empoleon and Slowbro without Leaf Storm's crippling Special Attack drop. Alternatively, Volt Switch can be used, still possessing all of Thunderbolt's usefulness and allowing it to pivot out of poor match-ups such as those against the aforementioned Cyclizar and Hisuian Goodra, as well as Wo-Chien. With Pain Split, it dominates Pokemon such as Chansey and can even plough through Wo-Chien. Thunder Wave ruins Cyclizar and makes it easy pickings for the next time Rotom-C comes in while being useful against faster Pokemon such as Fezandipiti, Noivern and Maushold. Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers such as Bisharp, Slither Wing, and Terrakion. Tera Steel allows it to avoid Toxic from the likes of Umbreon, Fezandipiti, and Quagsire while also being a generally good defensive type paired with Rotom's Levitate. It also allows it to check pokemon such as Salamence and Gardevoir in a pinch.
Rotom-C is great on balance and bulky offense teams, using it's unique defensive profile to repeatedly switch-in and pressure the opponent. If it opts to use Volt Switch, it can even act as a pivot to bring in big threats such as Galarian Zapdos, Krookodile and Mamoswine. Galarian Zapdos is a particularly good as it can chain its U-turn with Rotom's Volt Switch, putting immense pressure on the opponent, especially with entry hazards in the picture. Other good partners include Slither Wing and Barraskewda, which can use U-turn and Flip Turn, respectively to bring in Rotom-C against Hippowdon and Slowbro. Klefki is another solid teammate, laying Spikes for Rotom to make great use of as it hits many mons that hover above Spikes incredibly hard. If Rotom-C uses Thunder Wave, it can pair up with Pokemon such as Volcanion, Hisuian Zoroark, and Basculegion-F that enjoy facing a crippled Cyclizar. All of them also invite in Hisuian Goodra, making for fierce pairings that can leave the snail too weak to answer one or the other. Other good partners include Slowbro for its nifty Fire-type resistance, as well as being a more reliable switch into Water-type Pokemon. In return, Rotom resists the Electric- and Grass- type moves aimed at Slowbro.
