[SET COMMENTS]

Rotom stands out as a fantastic user of Choice Scarf thanks to its nearly unresisted STAB combination, high Speed tier, and three immunities. Will-O-Wisp lets Rotom cripple opposing physical sweepers such as Passimian, Medicham, and Scyther on top of Toxicroak using Sucker Punch. Trick is very useful to dismantle walls that rely on their item like Sandaconda, Eelektross, and Chansey. Tera Electric and Tera Ghost boost Rotom's STAB attacks even further with no drawbacks, though note, Tera Ghost exposes Rotom to Sandaconda's Glare. Tera Dark is useful for beating Sucker Punch Toxicroak and making Rotom a good lure for Zoroark. Thanks to Rotom's ease switching into opposing Sandaconda, teammates weak to it like Toxicroak, Lycanroc, Perrserker, and Scyther make for great partners; the latter two can even form a VoltTurn core with it. Bruxish, Medicham, and Mabosstiff help Rotom get around common specially defensive walls like Umbreon, Muk, and Chansey. Some walls that Rotom benefits from teaming up with include Umbreon, Vaporeon, and Muk thanks to their ability to take on common breakers that can revenge kill Rotom.

Rotom stands out as a fantastic user of Choice Scarf thanks to its nearly unresisted STAB combination, a high speed tier, and three type based immunities paired with its ability. STAB Volt Switch allows Rotom to keep momentum going and Shadow Ball is very spammable if your opponent lacks a Dark- or Normal-type. Trick is very useful utility to have to dismantle walls like Sandaconda, Muk, and Chansey who rely on their item. Thunderbolt is another high powered STAB option while Will-O-Wisp lets Rotom cripple opposing physical sweepers such as Passimian, Medicham, and Scyther on top of Toxicroak using Sucker Punch. Tera Electric and Tera Ghost boost its STABs even further with no drawbacks, however, Tera Ghost exposes Rotom to be hit by Sandaconda's Glare. Thanks to Rotom being able to switch into opposing Sandaconda very well, teammates weak to it like Toxicroak, Lycanroc, Perrserker, and Scyther, the latter two especially as they help form a VoltTurn core. *Some walls that can switch into Rotom include Umbreon, Muk, and Chansey, so Pokemon such as Bruxish, Medicham, and Mabosstiff, who all threaten those walls, make for excellent partners. Some walls that Rotom benefits from include Umbreon, Vaporeon, and Muk. Slower wallbreakers like Dudunsparce and Clawitzer also appreciate Rotom's use of Volt Switch.

Will-O-Wisp lets Rotom cripple opposing physical sweepers such as Passimian, Medicham, and Scyther on top of Toxicroak using Sucker Punch. Trick is very useful utility to dismantle walls like Sandaconda, Eelektross, and Chansey who that rely on their item (does the item reliance apply to all three? if so, move "that rely on their item" to right after "dismantle walls"). Tera Electric and Tera Ghost boost Rotom's its STAB attacks even further with no drawbacks, though note however, Tera Ghost exposes Rotom to be hit by Sandaconda's Glare. Tera Dark is useful for beating Sucker Punch Toxicroak and making Rotom a good lure for while luring Zoroark at the same time. Thanks to Rotom's ease switching being able to switch into opposing Sandaconda very well, teammates weak to it like Toxicroak, Lycanroc, Perrserker, and Scyther make for great partners, especially; (semicolon) the latter two who can even form a VoltTurn core with it. Bruxish, Medicham, and Mabosstiff help Rotom get around common specially defensive walls like Umbreon, Muk, and Chansey. Some walls that Rotom benefits from teaming up with include Umbreon, Vaporeon, and Muk thanks to their ability to take on common breakers that can revenge kill Rotom.
