Nasty Plot Rotom-W provides a unique blend of defensive utility and wallbreaking potential thanks to its great combination of typing and ability in addition to its versatile move pool. Discharge has a chance to paralyze and cripple bulky switch-ins like Serperior, Tapu Lele, and Dragonite. Substitute keeps Rotom-W safe from status moves like Toxic and generates free turns for it to set up, turning many common utility Pokemon such as Landorus-T, Alomomola, and Heatran into Rotom-W's setup fodder. Volt Switch and Will-O-Wisp can be used as an alternative combination, the former helping Rotom-W keep up the momentum and the latter helping to cripple threats such as Dragonite and Garchomp. However, this combination is less effective for wallbreaking because it makes Rotom-W vulnerable to status moves and forces it to switch out if it needs to use its Electric-type STAB move, losing the boost from Nasty Plot. Tera Ghost combined with Levitate counters several popular Ground-type threats like Ursaluna, Sword Dance Gliscor, and Great Tusk, while Tera Steel and Tera Poison complement Levitate well and let Rotom-W effectively wall utility variants of Gliscor, the former improving its matchup into Tapu Lele and the latter granting it a resistance to common Fighting-type attacks from Zamazenta, Iron Valiant, and Urshifu-R. 44 Speed EVs allow Rotom-W to outspeed uninvested Landorus-T so it can set up Substitute first and dodge Toxic, while the rest of the EVs are dumped into bulk so it can check the aforementioned physical threats better. With most Rotom-W sets being pure utility, this set can often come across as a surprise to the would-be bulky checks to it such as Clefable, Zapdos, and Galarian Slowking, and it can also disrupt the opponent's pace by setting up Substitute and boost with Nasty Plot. However, both of its STAB moves are resisted by Grass-types and Dragon-types, which means it loses to the likes of Ferrothorn and Raging Bolt even after boosting. Serperior and Kyurem especially prey on this set because they both can use it as setup fodder.

Nasty Plot Rotom-Wash is an unique set that possesses provides a unique blend of defensive utility and wall breaking potentials thanks to its great combination of typing and ability with a versatile move pool. The ability Levitate paired with Water and Electric type turns many common utility pokemon such as Landorus-T, Alomomola and Heatran into Rotom-Wash's set up fodder; this is further taken advantage of by paired with all of these very regularly carry toxic, so you cant safely setup without being behind sub. Also i think you could mention Discharge here although it's just basic STAB, as the para hax make switching in decently bulky offensive mons like lele, dnite, serp much more risky, adds necessary depth Substitute, which keeps Rotom-Wash safe from status moves like Toxic and generates free turns for Rotom-W to set up. Volt Switch and Will-O-Wisp can be used as the alternative combination, which helps Rotom-W to cripple the opposing pokemon threats such as Dragonite and Garchomp with the latter and keeps the momentum up with the former sounds better this way, more specific and cohesive. However, they are less effective for wall-breaking because now Rotom-W is vulnerable to status moves and has to lose the boost is forced to switch out if it needs to use its Electric coverage, losing the boost from Nasty Plot. Tera Ghost combined with Levitate counters several popular Ground-type threats like Ursaluna, SD Gliscor and Great Tusk, while Tera Steel and Tera Poison are general good Tera types to go along with Levitate complement Levitate well, both letting Rotom-W effectively wall utility variants of Gliscor, while the former improves its matchup into Tapu Lele and the latter grants a resistance to common Fighting-type attacks from Zamazenta, Iron Valiant, and Urshifu-R feel like this was a rly solid point but you didnt go into detail about it very much, do something like this instead. 44 Spe allows Rotom-W to outspeed uninvested Landorus-T so it can set up substitute first to dodge Toxic, the rest Evs are dumped into bulk so it can check physical threats better like?. With most Rotom-W being pure utility, this set can often come across as a surprise and disrupt the opponent's pace. this is a great point, however, you dont expand on it and provide details. What are some mons it can potentially surprise and in turn disrupt? However, the coverage of its STABs are not effective against Grass types and Dragon types, which means it loses to the likes of Ferrothorn and Raging Bolt even with boost. Serperior and Kyurem especially preys on this set because they both can use it as their set up fodder.

Nasty Plot Rotom-Wash provides an a unique blend of defensive utility and wallbreaking (remove space) potentials thanks to its great combination of typing and ability in addition to its with a versatile move pool. The ability Levitate in conjunction with Water and Electric type paired with (the typing and ability combination is already covered in the first sentence) Substitute, which keeps Rotom-Wash safe from status moves like Toxic and generates free turns for Rotom-W it to set up, turns turning many common utility Pokemon such as Landorus-T, Alomomola, (+comma) and Heatran into Rotom-Wash's setup (remove space) fodder. Discharge has the para a chance to potentially paralyze and cripple the bulky switch-ins like Serperior, Tapu Lele, (+comma) and Dragonite. (move the Discharge sentence before the Substitute sentence so that it aligns with the order of moves in the set) Volt Switch and Will-O-Wisp can be used as the an alternative combination, which helps Rotom-W to keeps the momentum up with the former helping Rotom-W keep up momentum and the latter helping it and cripple threats such as Dragonite and Garchomp with the latter. However, they are this combination is less effective for wall-breaking wallbreaking because now it makes Rotom-W is vulnerable to status moves and is forced forces it to switch out if it needs to use its Electric-type STAB move coverage, losing the boost from Nasty Plot. Tera Ghost combined with Levitate counters several popular Ground-type threats like Ursaluna, SD Swords Dance Gliscor, (+comma) and Great Tusk, while Tera Steel and Tera Poison complements Levitate well, both letting and let Rotom-W effectively wall utility variants of Gliscor, while the former improves improving its matchup into Tapu Lele and the latter grants granting it a resistance to common Fighting-type attacks from Zamazenta, Iron Valiant, and Urshifu-R. 44 Speed EVs allows Rotom-W to outspeed uninvested Landorus-T so it can set up Substitute first to and dodge Toxic, while the rest of Evs the EVs are dumped into bulk so it can check the aforementioned physical threats better. With most Rotom-W sets being pure utility, this set can often come across as a surprise to the would-be bulky checks to it such as Clefable, Zapdos, (+comma) and Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking, then and it can also disrupt the opponent's pace by setting the up Substitute up and start boosting with Nasty Plot. However, the coverage of its STABs both of its STAB moves are not effective against resisted by Grass-types (+hyphen) and Dragon-types (+hyphen), which means it loses to the likes of Ferrothorn and Raging Bolt even with boost after boosting. Serperior and Kyurem especially preys on this set because they both can use it as their setup (remove space) fodder.
