Rotom-W cleans up the competition in OU! Hydro Pump denies common Ground-types like Landorus-T from switching in and stopping Rotom-W's Volt Switch, making it one of the hardest pivoting moves to prevent in the tier. Will-O-Wisp further punishes Ground-types looking to block Volt Switch, while Thunder Wave is an alternative for foes like Clefable that are unbothered by any of Rotom-W's other moves; both options are also capable of disrupting Pokemon that wall Rotom-W's STAB combination like Ferrothorn. The EVs allow Rotom-W to outspeed Adamant Scizor, with the rest invested into special bulk to sponge hits from Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Heatran. Wallbreakers like Tapu Lele and Kartana are great partners, benefiting from Rotom-W's ability to check threats such as the aforementioned Tornadus-T and Heatran and safely get them onto the field with Volt Switch against foes like Clefable and Galarian Slowking; additionally, they can pressure Pokemon like Gastrodon that are near hard stops to Rotom-W. Because Rotom-W can be quickly overwhelmed due to Pain Split's inconsistency, options like Clefable and Ferrothorn are good teammates to absorb Knock Off and Toxic.
