The Rotom Phone (Japanese: スマホロトム Smartphone Rotom) is an electronic device found in Galar in Pokémon Sword and Shield, and in Paldea in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where it is a Key Item. It is a smartphone that is enhanced after being possessed by a Rotom. It is popular amongst people across multiple Pokémon canons, and can host a multitude of functions and applications, including a Pokédex. The Pokédex application was developed by Jacq.
In the core series games
Pokémon Sword and Shield
The Rotom Phone functions as the menu interface in Pokémon Sword and Shield. From the Rotom Phone, players can access their party, Bag, Town Map, Pokédex, League Card, options, and save their game. They can also set up Camp in most areas once they obtain Camping Gear from their mum. If the player connects to the internet, they can also access Mystery Gift or Victory Station.
The Rotom itself can also power the motor in the Rotom Bike, allowing the player to travel faster, and after an upgrade, over water as well. Unlike the Rotom Pokédex, the Rotom Phone does not speak during the storyline, but does prompt the player where to go next, and alerts them to happenings in the Wild Area, such as weather patterns.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the player can access their Map, Pokédex, and Profile from the Rotom Phone menu. After obtaining the Rotom Phone, it will come out when opening the main menu. Additionally, should the player fall from a great height, the player will hold onto their Rotom Phone to slow their fall before impacting the ground.

In the spin-off games
Pokémon Masters EX
- See also: Raihan (Masters) → Gallery
Due to all sync pairs on Pasio receiving a Poryphone, most characters do not use Rotom Phones in Pokémon Masters EX. However, Raihan is shown holding his Rotom Phone in his model and occasionally uses it to take selfies. When he is raised to 
6★ EX, the color of his Rotom Phone case changes to gold. He also carries his Rotom Phone in his anniversary outfit, but it does not change color when he is raised to 6★ EX in this outfit. Once the player reaches friendship level 100 with Raihan in the Trainer Lodge, they can purchase a replica of a magenta Rotom Phone in the Lodge Exchange to display in the Trainer Lodge.
In random Pokémon Center conversations, Jacq mentions that he developed a Pokédex app for Rotom Phones in Paldea, while Rei mentions Rotom Phones as an example of a Pokémon-related phone from Galar.
In animation

Ash received a smartphone from Professor Cerise in Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!. Along with Goh's own smartphone, it was possessed by two of Cerise's Rotom, who turned each into a Rotom Phone.

Trivia
- Hop's Rotom Phone is blue, Sonia's is pink, and Raihan's is magenta, similar to the color of a Shiny Rotom.
- The Pokédex function in the anime seems to be similar to the Pokédex function on the Pokémon HOME mobile app version. Both feature Pokédexes that register Pokémon after being caught and are on a phone. The layouts of the Pokédex and Pokémon selection screen in the anime and HOME look similar.
- Another similarity is they can both look up moves in the Pokédex in the anime and HOME.
- The way Pokémon are registered to the Rotom Phone in the anime is similar to how Pokémon are registered to the player's Pokédex in Pokémon GO.
- One of the icons on the Rotom Phone in the anime resembles the icon for Pokémon GO.
- In JN126, it is revealed that the passcode to Goh's Rotom Phone is 5555, which can be read in Japanese as a play on his name, with the number five being read as "go".
- Nemona's father is on the board of the Rotom Phone company.
- Unlike in the previous series, all the Rotom Phones in Pokémon Horizons: The Series have the same voice actor, Daiki Yamashita.
