Rotom-W serves as the primary defensive Pokemon on Electric-type teams, taking advantage of its part Water typing to take on threatening Pokemon like Barraskewda and Galarian Darmanitan. In addition, its ability Levitate enables Rotom-W to act as the primary check to Ground-types. Its combination of Will-O-Wisp and Thunder Wave serves to take on threatening physical attackers and setup sweepers by neutralizing either their Attack or Speed in order for them to be revenge killed by a teammate. Volt Switch enables Rotom-W to act as a slow pivot for the team in order to bring in teammates safely.

Due to Levitate and Volt Switch, nearly every Electric-type Pokemon greatly benefits from Rotom-W's presence on a team. Specifically, Toxtricity and Dracozolt greatly appreciate Rotom-W's ability to paralyze opposing Pokemon so that they can easily threaten fast Pokemon as they both have very middling Speed. Rotom-W also pairs well with Vikavolt, which provides a secondary Ground-type immunity. Heliolisk can also pair well with Rotom-W due to its immunity to Water-type attacks, which also relieves the pressure from Rotom-W to deal with strong Water-type Pokemon. In addition, Heliolisk's coverage moves also helps deal with Ground-types, further relieving pressure from Rotom-W.
