'''Rotom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].


{{PokémonInfobox|
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rotom has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[#Form data|change forms]]. It also learns a new [[move]] depending on which appliance it possesses. Rotom's form can be changed in by allowing it to possess the appliances in [[Rotom's Room]] or from the [[Rotom Catalog]].

* When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Fire}}, and learns {{m|Overheat}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Water}}, and learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}, it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ice}}, and learns {{m|Blizzard}}.
* When it possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}}, and learns {{m|Air Slash}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}, it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}}, and learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.


It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, as of {{game|Platinum}}, it can [[form differences|change forms]].
In [[Generation IV]], Rotom had {{t|Ghost}} as its secondary [[type]] regardless of its form.


==Biology==
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)
===Physiology===
Rotom's basic body looks similar to {{p|Castform}}, but Rotom has no real relation to any other species, since it doesn't have any evolutions or pre-evolutions. Rotom has a body of plasma. It also has teeth, which are often seen. Rotom also have unique eyes that have a dividing line across them. Even though Rotom is classified as being an Electric/Ghost type, it possesses traits that aren't usually normal for something that's supposed to be a spirit, such as the need to eat, being able to faint and somehow reproducing. Rotom themselves are shaped like lightning rods, while the blue aura of electricity around them takes the appearance of lightning.


[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|left|Rotom and the appliances]]
In [[Generation VII]], Rotom can possess a special [[Pokédex]] and become the [[Rotom Pokédex]], which has the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]]. In [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]], Rotom can possess a smartphone that doubles as a Pokédex and become the [[Rotom Phone]]. Rotom are also used in [[Rotomi]] terminals, and {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}}. The Rotom Phone can be used to power a [[Rotom Bike]].
In {{game|Platinum}}, Rotom also has five extra forms (each based on a household appliance), which can be transformed between using an event-exclusive item called the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Secret Key}}. They are based on a {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), {{wp|fan}} (Fan Rotom), {{wp|lawn mower}} (Mow Rotom), and a {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom). Despite having visual characteristics of other types ({{t|Ice}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}, respectively), they share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types. Rotom's eyes and aura of electricity will change colors when it changes form, but the aura remains the same color if it's {{shiny2}}. In contrast, their base stats are far higher than those of the original Rotom, to the point of being analogous to evolutions.
====Gender differences====
Rotom is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Rotom can creep into machines and appliances and infiltrate them. It may also possess and take the form of them if it wishes. However, only 5 alternate forms have been discovered so far.

===Behavior===
==Biology==
Rotom are mischievous, apparently wreaking havoc on electrical appliances just for the fun of it. They like to pull pranks on others, or just {{m|Discharge|shock}} them. When not possessing any object and when possessing a fan, it levitates when moving. On the other hand, when possessing a refrigerator or a microwave oven, it bounces.
Rotom is a small, orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a body of plasma. It is mostly spherical, with a bulb below its body and a long pointed protrusion on top, making it shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. When moving quickly, these appendages tend to disappear, in favor of a long similar-looking trail of blue electricity. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. In its base form, Rotom cannot be touched by anyone without the latter being shocked in the process. According to the [[Rotom Catalog]], Rotom in its base form is possessing a light bulb. Rotom lack any sort of circulatory system or pulse.<ref>[[Rotom Pokédex]], ({{g|Sun and Moon}}): "''Waaah! If I had a pulse, it would be pounding like crazzzy right now!''"</ref>


===Habitat===
Rotom have the ability to enter and control appliances. They typically use their abilities to make mischief, often using the household items they possess to pull pranks on unsuspecting people, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''. Despite this, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others. The [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]]s, [[Rotomi]], and {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}} are some examples. Additionally, in [[Galar]], the Rotom Phone is used to power the [[Rotom Bike]]. Some of these forms allow Rotom to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human languages]], and demonstrate that Rotom are highly intelligent. Rotom tend to reside in abandoned buildings. Research continues on Rotom and its ability to power unique motors. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', a specific Rotom was shown to have the ability to [[time travel]].
They usually live in electrical appliances, sometimes in those of [[Old Chateau|abandoned places]]. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a Rotom resides inside a [[television]], where the {{player}} is able to catch it after obtaining the National Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl (in Platinum, this is not required).

As with most {{t|Electric}} Pokémon, Rotom probably feeds on electricity.
===Forms===

</div>
Rotom has five alternate forms: Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, and Mow Rotom.


==In the anime==
Rotom's forms can be accessed by possessing specific household appliances with a special motor, namely: a convection {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom), a {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), a {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}} (Fan Rotom), and a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}} (Mow Rotom). When Rotom changes forms, its eyes and electric aura change colors, and its aura appendages take on different shapes: red with oven mitts as Heat Rotom, blue with clothespins as Wash Rotom, purple with lightning bolts as Frost Rotom, yellow with air curls as Fan Rotom, and green with a ripped strip as Mow Rotom.

Rotom made its debut appearance in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' in all its different forms, toying around with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|co.}}


===Pokédex entries===
In modern [[Sinnoh]], Rotom's forms were said to have been first discovered and documented by [[Charon]]. However, Rotom existed in [[Hisui]] and was also documented in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]]. The electric fan that Rotom inhabits to become Fan Rotom was invented by a boy, and was the first Rotom-related appliance to be developed, leading to the creation of many other appliances like it. The washing machine model that Rotom can inhabit has been discontinued, which caused its price to skyrocket. Heat Rotom will become lethargic if the oven it possesses is malfunctioning.

====By [[Move tutor|tutoring]]====
====Form change====
{{tutor|Electric|Ghost|4a|4|Rotom}}
When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its base form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its base form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, reverting to the base form will teach it Thunder Shock even if it knows another move.

===Form data===
Rotom has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its default form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|home appliance|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.
* When Rotom is not possessing any appliance (prior to Generation VIII) or possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}} (starting in [[Generation VIII]] except in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}), it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}.
* Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}.
* Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}.
* Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}.
* Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.
* Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from [[Generation V]] onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same [[base stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's default form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.
* In Pokémon Platinum, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].
* In {{game4|BWB2W2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the {{DL|South Boulevard|Sycamore Pokémon Lab}} in [[Lumiose City]].
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
* In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].
* In {{g|Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}}, the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. In Sword and Shield, it can be obtained in a house in [[Wyndon]] from a {{tc|League Staff}} member after defeating him in {{pkmn|battle}}. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Rotom Catalog is automatically obtained after letting Rotom enter an appliance in Rotom's Room. Rotom must have been in a form at least once to unlock that form in the Rotom Catalog. In Scarlet and Violet, it can be purchased from an auction in the [[Porto Marinada Market]] if the player owns a Rotom.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the [[player's house|player's quarters]] in [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|Jubilife Village]].
Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its default form. In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its default form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]].
[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom will always be in their standard form.
Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing forms, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its default form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In Generation IV and Generation V, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its default form. Starting in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.
Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.
In Generation IV, there are five separate appliances and changing Rotom's form temporarily removes that appliance from the room, so the player can never have more than one of each form. From Generation V onward, this limitation is removed. In [[Hisui]], five separate appliances are again depicted, but changing Rotom's form does not remove that appliance from the room.

Rotom first appeared in ''[[PS345|Robust Rotom]]'', where it caused havoc for {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} at the [[Old Chateau]] until Diamond understood that it only wanted to return in its plasma television and led it there.
 
During the subsequent fight against Charon and {{p|Giratina}}, Rotom initially joined the battle transforming into its five forms, then left the fighting to the other legendary Pokémon only to strike at the very last, destroying Charon's device that allowed him to control every Pokémon and thus putting an end to his evil plans.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* When Rotom is encountered, the music is the same as {{pkmn2|legendary}} encounters although it is not classified as one. Rotom is, to date, the only non-legendary Pokémon to do this. {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Shaymin}} do the opposite, being the only legendaries encountered in [[Generation IV]] for which the normal wild battle music plays.
[[File:Rotom Pokédex type.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]]'s type in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
* It is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon not in the original [[Sinnoh Dex]] that is neither legendary nor an evolution of a Pokémon from previous generations.
* When Rotom is encountered in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the music is [[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Legendary Pokémon)]], even though Rotom is not classified as a Legendary. To date, Rotom is the only Pokémon with this trait.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternative forms of a Pokémon not featured in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Shedinja}} (brown) and {{p|Froslass}} (white).
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* With the exception of {{p|Unown}}, Rotom has the most forms of any non-legendary Pokémon, with six in total.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to have an {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|unknown gender}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Rotom is one of only two Ghost-types that cannot learn {{m|Psychic}}, the other being Shedinja.
* In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Rotom Phone]] listed the {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} as a pure Electric-type.
* When Rotom transforms, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving. The move is replaced by another if Rotom possesses another object, and is deleted when Rotom transforms back to its normal form. If the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its original form is exclusive to its alternate form, then that move will be replaced with {{m|ThunderShock}}.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Rotom's formes can't master their exclusive moves, even with a [[Seed of Mastery]].
* Rotom is the only Pokémon with the ability to change its form by will that must possess another object in order to do so. {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} actually transform their bodies. However, {{p|Burmy}} is similar to Rotom in that it merely changes its surrounding cover. Like Deoxys and Burmy, players can have the six forms at one time.
 
* Rotom is the only Pokémon whose alternate forms have a different [[Stats|base stat total]] than that of the original form. Other Pokémon with alternate forms may have different distributions, however.
====Generation V type change====
* Fan Rotom is the only form with a special move whose base power isn't over 100. It's also the only one with more than 5 PP.
* Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
* As of the official Japanese tournament held in 2008, all Rotom forms have been banned from official tournaments. This is due to the special status of the alternate forms as event-exclusive Pokémon.  
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom's base form or Heat Rotom, making Rotom the only Pokémon with more than one unique type combination.
** Rotom is, so far, the only Pokémon considered to be non-legendary to receive these distinctions.
* Despite becoming part {{type|Flying}}, Fan Rotom retains the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} [[move]]s, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
* Rotom is notable for being the only Pokémon to learn certain moves (while in different forms):
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground-type moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles by default.
** As Heat Rotom, Rotom is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Overheat}} without breeding or via [[TM]].
* All of Rotom's appliance forms (except Mow Rotom) are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
** As Mow Rotom, Rotom is the only non-{{type2|Grass}} to learn {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
** All of Rotom's alternate forms (except Mow Rotom) are also the lightest Pokémon of their secondary typing.
** As Fan Rotom, Rotom is the only non-{{type2|Flying}} to learn {{m|Air Slash}}.
* Heat Rotom is tied with {{form|Castform|Sunny Form}} {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{p|Scorbunny}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** As Wash Rotom, along with {{p|Lugia}} and the {{p|Bagon}} family, are the only non-{{type2|Water}}s that can learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
* Frost Rotom is:
** tied with {{form|Castform|Snowy Form}} {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Snom}} for the shortest {{type|Ice}} Pokémon,
** the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}},
** one of the only Ice Pokémon, the other ones being Snom and {{p|Chien-Pao}}, to not be able to learn {{m|Ice Beam}}.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|Pulseman}}, who was actually designed by Pokémon designer [[Ken Sugimori]], although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of {{wp|ball lightning}}. Its Pokédex entry brings to mind {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its possession of other objects may be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s.
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}, a type of ghost that possesses household items. Its Pokédex entry also brings to mind {{wp|gremlin}}s. Rotom may also be an embodiment of {{wp|ball lightning}} or electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}".
 
Additionally, Rotom appears to be [[List of references to Pulseman|based on]] {{wp|Pulseman}}, who was designed by Pokémon designer [[Ken Sugimori]].
 
Each of Rotom's forms takes its appearance after an electronic object with arms made out of electric sparks. Its regular form seems to be based on a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, Heat Rotom possesses an {{wp|oven}}, Wash Rotom a {{wp|washing machine}}, Frost Rotom a {{wp|refrigerator}}, Fan Rotom a {{wp|Fan (machine)|fan}} and Mow Rotom possesses a {{wp|lawnmower}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
In {{game|Platinum}}, it is revealed that [[Charon]] discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of his toy robot, and Charon named it Rotom due to its origin. Rotom is the word ''motor'' backwards; this may refer to the fact that motors make many appliances function, while Rotom makes them fail.
Rotom is derived from ''motor'' spelled backwards.
 
In {{game|Platinum}}, an old notebook in [[Rotom's Room]] describes how a person discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.

Rotom (Japanese: ロトム Rotom) is a dual-type Electric/Ghost Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Rotom has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and change forms. It also learns a new move depending on which appliance it possesses. Rotom's form can be changed in by allowing it to possess the appliances in Rotom's Room or from the Rotom Catalog.

In Generation IV, Rotom had Ghost as its secondary type regardless of its form.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Form data for these details.)

In Generation VII, Rotom can possess a special Pokédex and become the Rotom Pokédex, which has the ability to speak human language. In Generation VIII and Generation IX, Rotom can possess a smartphone that doubles as a Pokédex and become the Rotom Phone. Rotom are also used in Rotomi terminals, and Drone Rotom. The Rotom Phone can be used to power a Rotom Bike.

Biology

Rotom is a small, orange Pokémon that has a body of plasma. It is mostly spherical, with a bulb below its body and a long pointed protrusion on top, making it shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. When moving quickly, these appendages tend to disappear, in favor of a long similar-looking trail of blue electricity. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. In its base form, Rotom cannot be touched by anyone without the latter being shocked in the process. According to the Rotom Catalog, Rotom in its base form is possessing a light bulb. Rotom lack any sort of circulatory system or pulse.[1]

Rotom have the ability to enter and control appliances. They typically use their abilities to make mischief, often using the household items they possess to pull pranks on unsuspecting people, as seen in the Pokémon the Series episode Get Your Rotom Running!. Despite this, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others. The Rotom Pokédex, Rotom Phones, Rotomi, and Drone Rotom are some examples. Additionally, in Galar, the Rotom Phone is used to power the Rotom Bike. Some of these forms allow Rotom to speak human languages, and demonstrate that Rotom are highly intelligent. Rotom tend to reside in abandoned buildings. Research continues on Rotom and its ability to power unique motors. In the Pokémon the Series episode Rotom's Wish!, a specific Rotom was shown to have the ability to time travel.

Forms

Rotom and the appliances
Rotom transforming

Rotom has five alternate forms: Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, and Mow Rotom.

Rotom's forms can be accessed by possessing specific household appliances with a special motor, namely: a convection microwave oven (Heat Rotom), a washing machine (Wash Rotom), a refrigerator (Frost Rotom), an electric fan (Fan Rotom), and a lawnmower (Mow Rotom). When Rotom changes forms, its eyes and electric aura change colors, and its aura appendages take on different shapes: red with oven mitts as Heat Rotom, blue with clothespins as Wash Rotom, purple with lightning bolts as Frost Rotom, yellow with air curls as Fan Rotom, and green with a ripped strip as Mow Rotom.

In modern Sinnoh, Rotom's forms were said to have been first discovered and documented by Charon. However, Rotom existed in Hisui and was also documented in the Hisui Pokédex. The electric fan that Rotom inhabits to become Fan Rotom was invented by a boy, and was the first Rotom-related appliance to be developed, leading to the creation of many other appliances like it. The washing machine model that Rotom can inhabit has been discontinued, which caused its price to skyrocket. Heat Rotom will become lethargic if the oven it possesses is malfunctioning.

Form change

When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its base form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its base form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with Thunder Shock. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, reverting to the base form will teach it Thunder Shock even if it knows another move.

Form data

Rotom has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its default form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different household appliance, and each has its own special move. These alternate forms were introduced in Pokémon Platinum.

In Generation IV, all forms of Rotom are Electric/Ghost-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same base stats, with a higher total than that of Rotom's default form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its default form. In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its default form when taken into the Union Room or Wi-Fi Club, or when deposited in the Pokémon Day Care.

Hatched Rotom will always be in their standard form.

Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing forms, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its default form, then the Rotom will learn Thunder Shock. In Generation IV and Generation V, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its default form. Starting in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of Pokémon Platinum, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every core series game since.

In Generation IV, there are five separate appliances and changing Rotom's form temporarily removes that appliance from the room, so the player can never have more than one of each form. From Generation V onward, this limitation is removed. In Hisui, five separate appliances are again depicted, but changing Rotom's form does not remove that appliance from the room.

Rotom first appeared in Robust Rotom, where it caused havoc for Diamond and Pearl at the Old Chateau until Diamond understood that it only wanted to return in its plasma television and led it there.

During the subsequent fight against Charon and Giratina, Rotom initially joined the battle transforming into its five forms, then left the fighting to the other legendary Pokémon only to strike at the very last, destroying Charon's device that allowed him to control every Pokémon and thus putting an end to his evil plans. After that, Rotom decided to stay with Diamond.

Trivia

The Rotom Pokédex's type in the anime

Generation V type change

  • Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Rotom's base form or Heat Rotom, making Rotom the only Pokémon with more than one unique type combination.
  • Despite becoming part Flying-type, Fan Rotom retains the Ability Levitate, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to Ground-type moves, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
    • In Inverse Battles, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground-type moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles by default.
  • All of Rotom's appliance forms (except Mow Rotom) are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
    • All of Rotom's alternate forms (except Mow Rotom) are also the lightest Pokémon of their secondary typing.
  • Heat Rotom is tied with Sunny Form Castform, Litwick, and Scorbunny for the shortest Fire-type Pokémon.
  • Frost Rotom is:

Origin

Rotom appears to be based on poltergeists or tsukumogami, a type of ghost that possesses household items. Its Pokédex entry also brings to mind gremlins. Rotom may also be an embodiment of ball lightning or electronic "magic smoke".

Additionally, Rotom appears to be based on Pulseman, who was designed by Pokémon designer Ken Sugimori.

Each of Rotom's forms takes its appearance after an electronic object with arms made out of electric sparks. Its regular form seems to be based on a light bulb, Heat Rotom possesses an oven, Wash Rotom a washing machine, Frost Rotom a refrigerator, Fan Rotom a fan and Mow Rotom possesses a lawnmower.

Name origin

Rotom is derived from motor spelled backwards.

In Pokémon Platinum, an old notebook in Rotom's Room describes how a person discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.
