It still barely breaks 500 BST, but this would give Castform similar bulk to the Rotom forms with an already naturally higher HP stat. Has more SpAtt as well, at the expense of Att and not being quite as fast. It doesn't have the sweet immunities that Ghost offers and lacks access to Will-o-Wisp. Also compared to Rotom-A, the loss of Lefties or Scarf is a pain. But consider that with Forecast Castform is still applicable to any weather-based team. It also already has access to Defog, Clear Smog, Tailwind, Thunder Wave, Toxic and Disable. It also can pull off BoltBeams, Energy Ball, Flamethrower and Scald for moderate power, or Blizzards, Fire Blasts, Hurricanes, Thunders, Solarbeams and Hydro Pumps for more power. Weather Ball is also a good situational STAB. Castform also bizarrely learns Reflect Type, for shenanigans. This thing has a pretty good movepool already, is the point I'm making.
I think giving it access to Morning Sun and Growth both make sense and would help it quite a bit since it lacks recovery and a boosting move that isn't Work Up. Nature Power would be an interesting gimmick move for flavor (though serve no competitive use), but the piece de resistance would be giving this mother Aurora Veil and maybe even both screens. Now, it would have all of the tools it needs to play a lot of different roles.
Also, there sorely needs to be a Sandstorm form. Just saying.
