The Rotom Drone (Japanese: ロトムドローン Rotom Drone) is a character in the anime and games. It is a Rotom inhabiting a drone. Like the Rotom Pokédex, Rotom Phone, and Rotomi, this form of Rotom can not be used in battle.
History
Whereas Gym Battles are refereed by a human 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.
It judged Ash's battles against Seiya in JN020, Hashiba in JN021, and Tony in JN030.
In JN025, a Rotom Drone was present at the Battle Fest in Shalour City to officiate the battles taking place, including Ash against Korrina.
