[SET COMMENTS]
* Rotom-C carves out its niche in the metagame thanks to its exceptional matchup against defensive teams featuring Ferrothorn, Toxapex, Corviknight, Hippowdon, Quagsire, and other Pokemon mauled by Rotom-C's unique STAB move combination.
* Nasty Plot is a key move that allows Rotom-C to pose an offensive threat.
* Volt Switch offers momentum against defensive switch-ins. However, Discharge offers a paralysis chance, lets Rotom-C stay in and keep its Nasty Plot boost, and has a stronger Max Lightning.
* Dark Pulse hits Dragpault, and Max Darkness lowers the foe's Special Defense.
* Will-O-Wisp allows Rotom-C to cripple physical attackers such as Ferrothorn and Snorlax
EV Spreads
=========
* 156 Special Attack EVs with Modest Nature always OHKO uninvested Dragapult with Max Darkness, and 140 Special Attack EVs with Modest Nature gets the KO 15/16 of the time.
* 252 HP / 124 Def survives a +2 Life Orb Mimikyu Play Rough, and 252 HP / 108 Def survives it 15/16 of the time. 252 HP / 196 Def survives 2 unboosted Gyarados Max Airstream after Sitrus recovery, and 252 HP / 124 Def with Aguav Berry lets Rotom-C switch into Life Orb Max Airstream, and Dynamax to live the second Max Airstream.
* 60 Speed EVs let Rotom-C outspeed Adamant max Speed Tyranitar as well as neutral max Speed base 60s. 84 Speed EVs outspeed uninvested Mimikyu and most other Rotom-W spreads.
* 252 HP / 108 Def / 140 SpA / 4 SpD / 4 Spe with Modest Nature allows Rotom-C to hit both the offensive and defensive benchmarks at the cost of its Speed.
* 252 HP / 12 Def / 156 SpA / 4 SpD / 84 Spe with Modest Nature allows Rotom-C to hit the speed and the offensive benchmark.

[SET COMMENTS]
* Rotom-C can do a lot of immediate damage with Choice Specs, further solidifying its wallbreaking niche.
* Volt Switch is a crucial pivoting move, and allows Rotom-C to not lose momentum by locking into a move.
* Trick allows Rotom-C to cripple walls more efficiently and gives it option to switch moves. It is particularly relevant against Pokemon that use Protect.
* Dark Pulse is a coverage move primarily for Dragapult.
EV Spreads
=========
* Maximum Special Attack allows Rotom-C to OHKO uninvested Dragapult with Dark Pulse.
* 60 Speed EVs let Rotom-C outspeed Adamant max Speed Tyranitar as well as neutral max Speed base 60s. 84 Speed EVs outspeed uninvested Mimikyu and most other Rotom-W spreads.
* 252 HP / 124 Def survives a +2 Life Orb Mimikyu Play Rough, and 252 HP / 108 Def survives it 15/16 of the time.
General Team Options
=========
* Rotom-C enjoys being paired with Pokemon that take advantage of its wallbreaking potential. This includes fast cleaners and sweepers that have trouble breaking through dedicated stall teams.
* Rotom-C can form a Fire-Water-Grass core, but it is not mandatory due to the small number of viable Fire-types, especially as Rotom-C rules out Rotom-H due to Species Clause.
