Lanturn

Lanturn's typing, Volt Absorb, and Heal Bell make it one of the most reliable Rotom-W and Rotom-H counters for stall teams, and an excellent switch-in to Celesteela and Salamence. It blocking Volt Switch from the former two, while checking Thundurus-T very reliably, mitigates the damage VoltTurn teams can output versus defensive teams. Heal Bell is a crucial tool for stall teams and frees up moveslots on teammates like Umbreon and Chansey. Volt Switch lets Lanturn maintain momentum when checking Pokemon such as Rotom-W and worry less about predicting switch-ins. Lanturn can alternatively run Thunderbolt, leveraging its typing and special bulk for a fantastic matchup versus a premier stallbreaker in Nasty Plot + Heal Bell Togekiss. The momentum from Volt Switch and status spreading from Scald + Toxic makes Lanturn difficult to safely switch into: checks such as Amoonguss, Tangrowth, and Hydreigon easily get crippled. However, its lack of reliable recovery leaves it reliant on Wish support from teammates like Umbreon and occasional Volt Absorb recovery, limiting how easily it can switch in to use Heal Bell throughout the match. Lacking recovery also stops Lanturn from being a primary check to Pokemon such as Primarina. Lanturn lacks significant immediate damage against Nasty Plot Thundurus-T variants, often having to trade itself for a Toxic and some Scald damage so its teammates can take it down. Similarly, it can't meaningfully hurt Zarude, limited to a Volt Switch pivot on the switch or forcing the occasional Jungle Healing with status. Finally, Lanturn's physical bulk leaves a lot to desired, preventing it from checking Pokemon such as Cobalion, Keldeo, and Scizor outside of emergencies, typically forcing Water-type teammates such as Slowking and Jellicent alongside it.
