[OVERVIEW]
- Has access to the coveted Defog, as well as Pain Split and Will-O-Wisp
- Typing + Levitate give it immunity to Ground and resistance to Water, allowing it to check Milotic as well as Steelix.
- Access to Volt Switch and decent defenses allow it to act as a pivot, switching into the likes of Milotic and gaining momentum.
- Despite the decent defenses, it has pitiful HP.
- Often pressed to fit the moves it needs in 1 set, and doesn't have slots for all of them.
- For that reason it can be unreliable at sweeping because its main STABs are Volt Switch and Leaf Storm
- Speed tier puts it above Nidoqueen, Feraligatr, and Necrozma but fails to outspeed Meloetta and Yanmega

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
- Defog clears hazards and is the main niche of Rotom-C
- Volt Switch for momentum
- Leaf Storm is strong STAB to hit Water- and Ground-types
- Pain Split works well with Rotom-C's low HP to make it do more damage and get more recovery vs most Pokemon, giving it some form of longevity
- Thunderbolt gives Rotom-C a reliable STAB without drawbacks to let it better check the likes of Milotic, as well as anything else that takes neutral damage from it.

Set Details
========
- max/max
- Grassium gives Rotom-C a one-time strong, reliable attack that doesn't miss
- Mago Berry gives Rotom-C a 50% hp recovery which can allow it to switch into moves more than once or twice and give it another chance, as well as some survivability if it lacks Pain Split


Usage Tips
========
- Use it as a defogger to keep away hazards
- Can be brought in vs threats such as Milotic or Steelix if needed, to hit them with Leaf Storm, gain momentum, or Defog
- Typically doesn't get a lot of switch-in opportunities because of its average bulk
- Use Pain Split to recover back HP when needed

Team Options
========
- Pokemon weak to hazards appreciate Rotom-C's access to Defog, those include Salazzle, Honchkrow, Moltres, Glalie, and Yanmega.
