Lanturn @ Assault Vest
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 172 SpA / 136 SpD / 200 Spe
Modest Nature
- Scald
- Volt Switch
- Ice Beam
- Discharge / Hidden Power Grass

AV Lanturn is a counter. It tanks everything with ease (Blizzard does like max 20%) since the most Rotom-Frost can do is use Will-O-Wisp to cripple it.

Togedemaru as a Check

Togedemaru @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Lightning Rod / Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- Zing Zap
- U-turn
- Toxic

Togedemaru can resist Rotom-Frost's STABs, and pivot into a Volt Switch to block it or comfortably eat a Blizzard and U-turn back out safely in fear of Will-O-Wisp. Switching into Will-O-Wisp greatly cripples it however.

252 SpA Rotom-Frost Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Togedemaru: 100-118 (36.9 - 43.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 SpA Rotom-Frost Volt Switch vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Togedemaru: 63-75 (23.2 - 27.6%) -- 77.5% chance to 4HKO (if Iron Barbs is used)

252 Atk Togedemaru Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Rotom-Frost: 102-121 (42.3 - 50.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

Primeape @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Gunk Shot

Scarfed Primeape is a check to bulky defog Frostom. Primeape (being faster than frostom, could also run band and kill it but I chose the scarf set because its more common) revenge kills Frostom reliably because it can destroy it with a base 120 power, STAB CC.

252 Atk Primeape Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Rotom-Frost: 320-378 (132.7 - 156.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Lycanroc @ Lycanium Z
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge
- Drill Run
- Accelerock

Lycanroc is a check to (not really that bulky) Rotom-Frost as Lycanroc bops it with one Stone Edge, potentially creating an opportunity to set up. Obviously you don’t switch in safely but ya know, check not counter.

Manectric @ Choice Specs
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower / Overheat
- Hidden Power [Grass]

Specs Mane (the underrated set kinda) is a check for Rotom-Frost. In a situation where Rotom attempts to Volt Switch after defogging, you bring in Mane, who is immune to Electric via Lightning Rod and it gets a spatk boost. Rotom guaranteed dies to either Flamethrower or Overheat or you force it out. The switch-in will not appreciate Volt Switch or Thunderbolt.

Simisear @ Firium Z
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Grass Knot
- Focus Blast
​
Simisear is able to check Rotom-Frost. It is able to switch in pretty well on Blizzards and Wisp but Volt Switch has the chance of 2HKOing it because this monkey is frail af. It can revenge kill nicely and obviously Fire Blast burns the freezer to death.

Clefairy @ Eviolite
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Moonblast
- Soft-Boiled
- Toxic / Calm Mind

Hey it's Clefairy again. Clefairy easily counters this Rotom-Frost set by stalling it out of Blizzards and either setting up Calm Mind in its face or crippling it with Toxic. Clefairy also gets up Stealth Rock against this Defogger.

252 SpA Rotom-Frost Blizzard vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Clefairy: 97-115 (28.1 - 33.4%) -- 0.1% chance to 3HKO

252 SpA Rotom-Frost Blizzard vs. +2 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Clefairy: 49-58 (14.2 - 16.8%) -- possible 6HKO
+2 0 SpA Clefairy Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Rotom-Frost: 127-151 (52.6 - 62.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
 
1545885983968.png

Combusken @ Fightinium Z / Firium Z
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power Electric
- Protect

Combusken is an uncommon but perfectly capable check to Rotom-Frost. On a clean switch, Combusken can scare it out and gain a free Speed Boost in the process or just use Protect if it stays in, which can prevent Volt Switch or even Defog for one turn so you can outspeed it on the next turn. You also switch into Blizzard if you're into those plays.

252 SpA Combusken Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Rotom-Frost: 254-302 (105.3 - 125.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Combusken Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Rotom-Frost: 278-330 (115.3 - 136.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Eelektross @ Assault Vest
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain
- Volt Switch

Check. Has a very good chance to OHKO Frotom after rocks:

252+ SpA Eelektross Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Rotom-Frost: 176-208 (73 - 86.3%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

Eel can take couple of Blizzards too and eats any Volt Switch.
