**Special Walls**: Special walls such as Audino and Lickilicky don't take much damage from Rotom-S, but they don't appreciate getting tricked.
**Bulky Ground-types**: Bulky Ground-types like Seismitoad stop Rotom-S from Volt Switching. Steelix, Golem, and Stunfisk are immune to Volt Switch and resist Air Slash.
**Electric-types**: Resist both STABs and can hit back with another STAB or coverage move. Electivire and Lanturn absorb any Electric-type move and can hit back with Ice Punch and Scald, respectively.
Note: I would like some thoughts on other sets, namely defensive or Choice Specs sets.
########
- Double immunity to ground :)
- Nice bulk and SpA with average Speed.
- 5 resistances and 2 weaknesses
- Weak to Stealth Rock
- Second STAB has low BP

Moves
========
- Volt Switch gives momentum to the team and is STAB.
- Air Slash is secondary STAB that hits Electric-type resists bar Electric and can flinch.
- Thunderbolt is strongest STAB.
- Trick can cripple an annoying wall.
========
- Timid and max/max for obvious speed and power.
- Choice Scarf increases Rotom-S' Speed, making it easy to revenge kill and clean up.
========
- Revenge kills and cleans up.
- Predict Ground-type switch-ins by hard switching from bulkier ones and using Air Slash on weakened ones.
- Use Trick on walls that would be troublesome for the team.
========
