Rotom-S is a reliable utility choice in SS NU with access to moves like Defog, Will-O-Wisp, and a STAB pivot option in Volt Switch. Blessed with Heavy-Duty Boots, Rotom-S is given a means to avoid Stealth Rock chip while pivoting, which strengthens its niche as a Defogger that is immune to entry hazards. Rotom-S also benefits from a useful Electric / Flying typing that grants many resistances and only two weaknesses; this typing also provides defensive opportunities such as switching into a Body Press from Cofagrigus or Dubwool or an Iron Head from Togedemaru, enabling Rotom-S to burn a foe with Will-O-Wisp, use Defog, or pivot out with Volt Switch. 252 Speed EVs and a Timid nature are necessary for outspeeding Life Orb Toxicroak and Choice Band Sawk. Full Special Attack investment helps with achieving some important OHKOs, namely against Toxicroak, Sawk, and Flapple with Air Slash, as well as OHKOing Abomasnow after Stealth Rock. These EVs also make Volt Switch a clean 2HKO on Wishiwashi and Silvally-Water and guarantee a 2HKO on defensive Eldegoss with Air Slash, with specially defensive variants also having a chance to be 2HKOed.

Rotom-S should be leveraged early-game to gain momentum, keep entry hazards off the field, and cripple physical attackers like Togedemaru and Perrserker as well as offensive leads like Crustle and Golurk with burns before they start to dent your team. Later on, focus on using its good Speed tier to revenge kill foes like Toxicroak and keep it way from strong wallbreakers like Drampa and Gourgeist-S. Rotom-S appreciates team support from Ice-type checks such as Lanturn, Klinklang, and Clefairy. Wallbreakers such as Perrserker, Toxicroak, and Sawk can be brought in via Rotom-S's Volt Switch against common switch-ins to it like Clefairy and Drampa. Furthermore, Pokemon that benefit from Defog support like Silvally-Fire, Unfezant, and Cofagrigus also make good team options. Abomasnow and Arctovish can additionally help target Ground-type Stealth Rock users like Sandaconda, Piloswine, and Galarian Stunfisk that Rotom-S struggles using Defog against and appreciate said Defog support.

Rotom-S performs as a reliable utility choice in SS NU with access to moves like Defog, Will-o-Wisp Will-O-Wisp and a STAB pivot option in Volt Switch. Blessed with a new tool in Heavy-Duty Boots, Rotom-S is given a means to avoid rocks Stealth Rock chip while pivoting which also strengthens its niche as defog user Defogger that is immune to both spikes and toxic spikes Spikes and Toxic Spikes. Rotom-S also benefits from a unique useful Electric / Flying typing of Electric/Flying and while making levitate useless, the typing that grants useful resistances and only two weaknesses. Defog provides the team with hazard removal while Will-O-Wisp can be used to cripple slower physical attackers such as Perrserker, Malamar and Golurk as well as leads like Piloswine, Sandaconda and Crustle to hinder the opposing team's momentum. Volt switch is the STAB of choice to give a strong pivoting option, while Air Slash is a good secondary STAB with the added bonus of flinch chance. (the way this is all worded right now doesn't really constitute to meaningful prose. the STAB moves should be self-explanatory enough, and you already talk about why Rotom-S is a reliable Defogger.) 252 Speed EVs and a Timid nature are necessary for outspeeding Life Orb Toxicroak and Banded Choice Band Sawk in addition to speed-tieing against opposing Rotom forms.(Speed tying opposing Rotom doesn't really ever come into play nor is it particularly helpful) Full SpAtk Special Attack investment helps with some important OHKO's OHKOs namely against Toxicroak, Sawk and Flapple with Air Slash, as well as OHKOing Abomasnow after rocks and some chip damage Stealth Rock (it does 75.3% min). These EVs also make Volt Switch a clean 2HKO on Wishiwashi and Sivally-Water Silvally-Water and guarantee a 2HKO on the more common Def Eldegoss, while also giving a roll chance to 2HKO fully SpDef Eldegoss defensive Eldegoss with Air Slash, with specially defensive variants also having a chance to be 2HKOed.

Rotom-S should be leveraged early game early-game to gain momentum, keep hazards off the field and cripple physical attackers and offensive leads with burns before they start to dent your team. It can be brought in against resisted hits such as Togedemaru's or Perrserker's Iron Head or U-Turn to pivot out in response and switch momentum into your favour (I don't think telling someone to switch into a predicted U-turn is good advice, and such a move is generally just going to cost you momentum). Users should beware of Lanturn, Arctozolt and Jolteon blocking volt-switch and taking advantage of their strong matchup.(only one of these Pokemon is relevant and most possible Volt Switch immunities don't really appreciate being burned anyway) Rotom-S would appreciate appreciates team support from Ice and/or Rock resists such as Lanturn or Klinklang on offensive teams, and bulky choices to pivot into on Balance teams such as Clefairy or Cofagrigus Ice-type checks such as Lanturn, Klinklang, Cofagrigus, and Clefairy (Lanturn is not a common sight on offensive teams, and mentioning Rock-resistant teammates is fairly irrelevant I feel because you beat Drednaw and burn Crustle). Rotom-S shouldn't be used haphazardly during mid-game against strong wallbreakers or setup sweepers as it easily folds to one or two strong neutral attacks from many of NU's threats. It can resurface late game to use its decent speed tier to pick off other weakened Pokemon, especially after fast offensive threats such as Silvally Forms, Rapidash Forms and strong scarf users like Indeedee-F or Sawk have been eliminated.

Rotom-S performs as is a reliable utility choice in SS NU with access to moves like Defog, Will-O-Wisp and a STAB pivot option in Volt Switch. Blessed with Heavy-Duty Boots, Rotom-S is given a means to avoid Stealth Rock chip while pivoting which also strengthens its niche as a Defogger that is immune to both Spikes and Toxic Spikes. Rotom-S also benefits from a useful Electric / Flying typing that grants useful resistances and only two weaknesses (so? what does this mean in terms of using Rotom-S defensively?). 252 Speed EVs and a Timid nature are necessary for outspeeding Life Orb Toxicroak and Choice Band Sawk. Full Special Attack investment helps with achieving some important OHKOs namely against Toxicroak, Sawk and Flapple with Air Slash, as well as OHKOing Abomasnow after Stealth Rock. These EVs also make Volt Switch a clean 2HKO on Wishiwashi and Silvally-Water and guarantee a 2HKO on defensive Eldegoss with Air Slash, with specially defensive variants also having a chance to be 2HKOed.

Rotom-S should be leveraged early-game to gain momentum, keep hazards off the field and cripple physical attackers and offensive leads (I think some examples of burn targets would be good here because something like Cursola is an offensive lead that you wouldn't want to stay in to burn) with burns before they start to dent your team. Later on, focus on using its good Speed tier to revenge kill foes like Toxicroak and keep it way from strong wallbreakers. (I think you had far too much in terms of usage down here and not enough in terms of Pokemon to pair with it) It can be brought in against resisted hits such as Togedemaru's or Perrserker's Iron Head. Rotom-S appreciates team support from Ice-type checks such as Lanturn, Klinklang, Cofagrigus, and Clefairy. Rotom-S shouldn't be used haphazardly mid-game against strong wallbreakers or setup sweepers as it easily folds to one or two strong neutral attacks from many of NU's threats. It can resurface late game to use its decent speed tier to pick off other weakened Pokemon, especially after fast offensive threats such as Silvally Forms, Rapidash Forms and strong scarf users like Indeedee-F or Sawk have been eliminated. (in terms of teammates, I want you to include wallbreakers that appreciate being brought in via Volt Switch (or doubled out to). consider what Rotom-S typically draws in and the breakers that can take advantage of such foes. you can also give mention to Pokemon that benefit from Defog support)

Rabia gp adds implemented and ready for 2nd QC! I removed cofag from the section ice-check section because I added it as a team option that appreciates defog support and didn't want to list it twice.

Blessed with Heavy-Duty Boots, Rotom-S is given a means to avoid Stealth Rock chip while pivoting which also strengthens its niche as a Defogger that is immune to both Spikes and Toxic Spikes entry hazards (another is the rare sticky web, and avoiding the speed drop is valuable. the immunity to all hazards with HDB should suffice). Rotom-S also benefits from a useful Electric / Flying typing that grants many resistances and only two weaknesses; this typing can provide defensive opportunities such as being able to switch into a body press from Cofagrigus/Dubwool or an Iron Head from Togedemaru, enabling Rotom-S to burn, Defog, or pivot out as required. 252 Speed EVs and a Timid nature are necessary for outspeeding Life Orb Toxicroak and Choice Band Sawk.

Rotom-S should be leveraged early-game to gain momentum, keep hazards off the field, and cripple physical attackers like Togedemaru and Perrserker and Malamar, and offensive leads like Crustle and Golurk with burns before they start to dent your team (malamar is often rest, so it can actually setup on rotom. Try toge, as u can wisp it if its locked into Iron head per say) . Later on, focus on using its good Speed tier to revenge kill foes like Toxicroak and keep it way from strong wallbreakers like Drampa and Gourgiest-S. Rotom-S appreciates team support from Ice-type checks such as Lanturn, Klinklang, and Clefairy. Wallbreaker team options such as Perrserker, Toxicroak and Sawk can be brought in via Rotom-Fan's Volt Switch against lured targets like Clefairy or Drampa. Furthermore, Pokemon who benefit from Defog support like Abomasnow, Silvally-Fire, Arctovish, Unfezant or Cofagrigus also make good team options. (I would mention that Abomasnow and Arctrovish also help target Ground-type Stealth Rock users such as Sandaconda, Piloswine, and Stufisk-Galar that Rotom-S struggles using Defog against)

make sure to read over the changes made and apply them to future analyses; there were mistakes made that could've been easily avoided had you taken into consideration my original QC/GP check. gp 1/1 when done
 
Ho3nConfirm3d, Rabia GP check implemented and ready for upload!



p.s. apologies for not adding oxford/serial commas in lists, which was an oversight on my part regarding the usual format. Thank you both for the guidance on my first analysis and with the process in general.
