A Speed tier above Gyarados coupled with a decent STAB combination makes Rotom-H an effective revenge killer with Choice Scarf. Its Electric / Fire typing also enables it to pivot in and scare out prominent attackers like Galarian Darmanitan and Life Orb Clefable with the threat of a strong Overheat or passing Choice Scarf via Trick, in the case of Clefable. Volt Switch strengthens Rotom-H's pivoting capabilities by generating momentum for its team, as well as letting Rotom-H escape bad matchups and get a teammate in for free. Trick severely cripples many Pokemon such as Seismitoad, Clefable, and Hydreigon by passing them a Choice Scarf, preventing them from doing their job. Will-O-Wisp further adds onto Rotom-H's utility, shutting down physical attackers such as Dracovish and Galarian Darmanitan, as well as chipping down defensive Pokemon like Seismitoad and Gastrodon. Thunder Wave also shuts offensive Pokemon like Dragapult, Hydreigon, and Togekiss, as well as helping Rotom-H's offensive teammates. Thunderbolt is Rotom-H's most reliable revenge killing option; it also makes it a better check to Corviknight and 2HKOes physically defensive Toxapex.
Due to Rotom-H's weakness to Stealth Rock, entry hazard removal is vital for its effective functioning. Corviknight, Mandibuzz, and Excadrill are some examples of good entry hazard removers. Pivots like Galarian Darmanitan and Dragapult as well as the aforementioned Corviknight and Mandibuzz can form decent VoltTurn cores with Rotom-H. Ferrothorn and Seismitoad synergize well defensively with Rotom-H, since they can sponge Rock- and Water-type attacks aimed at Rotom-H. These two also set entry hazards up. Offensive threats such as Dracovish, Dragapult, and Life Orb Clefable appreciate Rotom-H bringing them in for free and scaring off their checks.

Rotom-H's access to Nasty Plot and a good STAB combination enable it to dismantle many common defensive Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Corviknight, Galarian Corsola, and Toxapex. Rotom-H's typing also provides some valuable defensive utility against threats like Galarian Darmanitan, Togekiss, and Life Orb Clefable. Volt Switch further increases Rotom-H's potency as an offensive pivot. Will-O-Wisp and Thunder Wave are utility options that allow Rotom-H to cripple the opposition. Protect enables Rotom-H to scout foes' moves and synergizes especially well with Leftovers, giving Rotom-H a free turn of recovery. Thunderbolt is another STAB possibility, providing Rotom-H with an Electric-type option that doesn't force it to switch out. Heavy-Duty Boots prevents Rotom-H from getting worn down by Stealth Rock, enhancing its longevity as a pivot. Leftovers, on the other hand, strengthens Rotom-H's survivability by granting it with passive recovery at the cost of being vulnerable to Stealth Rock.
Rotom-H fits on many teams that need its wallbreaking and pivoting capabilities. Wallbreakers and cleaners like Dracovish, Dragapult, and Galarian Darmanitan enjoy Rotom-H getting them in for free and smashing the likes of Ferrothorn and Toxapex. Entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Seismitoad enable Rotom-H to wallbreak more efficiently and make constant Volt Switch pivoting more impactful. Other VoltTurn pivots like Galarian Darmanitan, Dragapult, and Corviknight can create decent VoltTurn cores with Rotom-H. If running Leftovers, entry hazard removal from the likes of Mandibuzz and Corviknight is mandatory to keep Rotom-H healthy.
