[SET COMMENTS]
* Rotom-C makes for a good pivot due to its unique set of resistances and utility.
* Leaf Storm is Rotom-C’s most powerful STAB move, hitting Tyranitar, Gastrodon, and Quagsire hard.
* Volt Switch offers momentum against defensive switch-ins.
* Will-o-Wisp allows Rotom-C to cripple physical attackers such as Mimikyu and Excadrill.
* Thunder Wave allows Rotom-C to cripple switch-ins such as Dragapult and Hydreigon, but Thunderbolt allows Rotom-C to hit Corviknight and Toxapex harder.
EV Spreads
=========
* 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 SpA Modest: This EV spread maximizes Rotom-C’s bulk while still being able to hit decently hard.
* 252 HP / 44 Def / 212 SpD Calm: This EV spread allows Rotom-C to live Fire-type attacks from Dragapult and Rotom-H.
Team Options
=========
This Rotom-C set appreciates checks to Dragapult and Hydreigon, because Rotom-C’s only way of handling both of them is through Thunder Wave. Furthermore, it also appreciates bulky Water-types that can check both Fire- and Ice-types.

[SET COMMENTS]
* Rotom-C is able to use its STAB Electric-type moves freely, since many Ground-type Pokemon fear switching in to a Leaf Storm.
* Trick allows Rotom-C to cripple walls more efficiently, but Dark Pulse is a great coverage move.
• When running Dark Pulse, Rotom-C becomes a threatening Dynamaxer, due to its high Special Attack and Max Darkness being threatening if running Choice Specs, or Rotom-C being hard to outspeed if running Choice Scarf.
EV Spreads
=========
* 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid: This EV spread allows Rotom-C to OHKO Excadrill, Aegislash, and Dragapult. This spread is recommended if running Choice Scarf to outspeed Dragapult.
* 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe Timid: This EV spread allows Rotom-C to extremely bulky, further solidifying its role as a good Dynamaxer. This spread is recommended if running Choice Specs.
Team Options
=========
Rotom-C is best paired with strong offensive Pokemon that can take advantage of Volt Switch.

General Team Options
