The '''Rotom Drone''' (Japanese: '''ロトムドローン''' ''Rotom Drone'') is a character in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|games}}. It is a {{p|Rotom}} inhabiting a drone. Like the [[Rotom Pokédex]] and [[Rotom Phone]], this form of Rotom can not be used in battle.  
'''Drone Rotom''' (Japanese: '''ドローンロトム''' ''Drone Rotom'') are {{p|Rotom}} inhabiting drones that serve as [[battle judge]]s, primarily in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', they act as the official judges throughout the world for [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}s.


==History==
This [[form]] of Rotom cannot be used in {{pkmn|battle}}.
Whereas Gym Battles are refereed by a human [[Battle judge|referee]], the Rotom Drone takes this role for [[World Coronation Series]] battles. As soon as a battle appointment between two Trainers is made, the Rotom Drone is sent flying to the location where the battle takes place. The Rotom Drone can display a hologram picturing the participants in the battle and how many Pokémon they can send out. Like regular referees, it also explains the battle rules to Trainers. After the battle, the Rotom Drone will announce that the rankings have been updated and then leave the site.  


In the anime, the Rotom Drone first appeared in [[JN018]] to judge the battle between {{Ash}} and [[Visquez]].
==In the games==
