Rotom has the ability to enter and control appliances. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, it also has five extra forms, each based on a household appliance, which can be accessed by possessing specific appliances. The possessed appliances are based on a {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom), {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}} (Fan Rotom), and a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}} (Mow Rotom). When Rotom changes form, 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. | |||

Like in its previous appearance, Rotom caused havoc for the boys and ran away to the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] where it transformed into its 5 forms and attacked them.

If Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and still knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one.

Rotom (Japanese: ロトム Rotom) is a dual-type Electric/Ghost Pokémon.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and change forms.
- When it does not possess an appliance, it is Normal Rotom, and is Electric/Ghost-type.
- When it possesses a microwave oven it becomes Heat Rotom, and is Electric/Fire-type.
- When it possesses a washing machine it becomes Wash Rotom, and is Electric/Water-type.
- When it possesses a refrigerator it becomes Frost Rotom, and is Electric/Ice-type.
- When it possesses an electric fan it becomes Fan Rotom, and is Electric/Flying-type.
- When it possesses a lawnmower it becomes Mow Rotom, and is Electric/Grass-type.
Additionally, in Pokémon Sun and Moon, it has the ability to possess a special Pokédex and become the Rotom Pokédex.
Depending on the game, its form can be changed at will in Rotom's Room in the Team Galactic Eterna Building, Rotom's Room in Silph Co., the store room in Shopping Mall Nine, on the second floor of Professor Sycamore's Lab in Lumiose City, or in Professor Birch's Lab in Littleroot Town.
In Generation IV, it is Electric/Ghost-type regardless of its form.
Biology
Rotom has a body of plasma and is shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. As seen in the anime, Rotom will often pull pranks on unsuspecting people. Also seen in the anime, Rotom has the ability to time travel.
Rotom has the ability to enter and control appliances. Starting in Platinum, it also has five extra forms, each based on a household appliance, which can be accessed by possessing specific appliances. The possessed appliances are based on a microwave oven (Heat Rotom), washing machine (Wash Rotom), refrigerator (Frost Rotom), electric fan (Fan Rotom), and a lawnmower (Mow Rotom). When Rotom changes form, 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 the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Diamond's Rotom
In Pokémon Adventures, Rotom is a rare and mysterious Pokémon. It first appeared at the Old Chateau where it caused havoc for Diamond and Pearl until Diamond understood that it only wanted to return in its plasma television and led it there.
It appeared again when Diamond and Pearl returned to the Old Chateau to try to protect it from Charon. Like in its previous appearance, Rotom caused havoc for the boys and ran away to the Team Galactic Eterna Building where it transformed into its 5 forms and attacked them. Eventually Diamond found out it was just trying to play with them and bonded with it. After telling Rotom of their plan to protect it, Rotom decided to join them.
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.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
A Rotom appears in PMDP47 along with all of its forms.

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; Rotom cannot change into an appliance form if it does not learn the move. Even if Rotom forgets the special move associated with its current form, it will remain in its current form. If Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and still 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 normal 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 normal form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with Thunder Shock.

Trivia
- When Rotom is encountered in the Old Chateau in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, the music is the same as Legendary encounters, although it is not classified as one. Rotom is, to date, the only non-Legendary Pokémon to do this.
- Rotom's alternate forms, along with Arceus's forms, were the only alternate forms of a Pokémon not featured in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, Shaymin and Giratina's alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
- Rotom is tied with Tynamo as the lightest Electric-type Pokémon.
- Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to be genderless in the anime.
- Both Trainers shown to own a Rotom in the anime or games (Professor Oak and Weston) are elderly males.
Generation V type change
- Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a pre-existing type.
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Normal, Heat, Frost, and Mow Rotom.
- 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 moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles.
- 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 appliance forms are the lightest Pokémon of their secondary types.
Origin
Rotom appears to be based on Pulseman, who was designed by Pokémon designer Ken Sugimori, although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of ball lightning. Its Pokédex entry brings to mind gremlins. Its possession of other objects may be based on poltergeists or tsukumogami. Rotom may also be an embodiment of electronic "magic smoke".
Name origin
Rotom is motor backwards; this may refer to the fact that motors make many appliances function, while Rotom makes them fail.
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.
