The Rotom Pokédex (Japanese: ロトム図鑑 Rotom illustrated encyclopedia), also known as the Rotom Dex, is an electronic device found in Alola. It is a Pokédex that is enhanced after being possessed by a Rotom. It appears in Pokémon Sun and Moon. This special Pokédex is said to be rare, even in the Alola region. While inside the Pokédex, Rotom can speak with the player. It is given to the player by Professor Kukui.
In addition to functioning as a regular Pokédex, the Rotom Pokédex also has other features for the player to use.
Functions
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Rotom Pokédex appears on the bottom screen, displaying a map of the area the player is currently in. By tapping the screen, the player can access a variety of functions:
- When the player taps the center of the map, Rotom repeats its most recent suggestion on where to go next.
- When the player taps the map outside the center, the full map function opens, acting in a similar way to the Town Map in previous games.
- When the player taps the black bridge between Rotom's eyes, the Pokédex function opens.
- When the player taps either of Rotom's eyes or on the red part of its body, Rotom will shake and react in a variety of ways.

The Rotom Pokédex's primary function is a fully featured Pokédex. The player can browse and search Pokémon species, view data about them, and look up their habitats. The Pokédex can also produce QR Codes for the QR Scanner for most registered Pokémon.
Map
When the Rotom Pokédex is idle, the screen usually shows a map. In this view, the map stays centered on the player's immediate area. The player's location is marked by a smiley face icon, with an arrow indicating the direction the player is facing. If the player is inside a building or certain locations (such as Ten Carat Hill), however, the map will remain stationary no matter where the player moves and there is no directional arrow. During the main story, a red flag may also appear, indicating a place the player is supposed to go.
If the player taps the map, the screen's view broadens to show a larger map akin to Town Maps in other games. In this broader view, the top screen shows an overview of the whole Alola region, while the bottom screen focuses on an individual island. If the player moves the map's cursor over different areas on the island, the top screen will show a snapshot of the area, a description of the area, and a list of landmarks within it. The player can scroll between the islands using the L and R Buttons and can zoom in using the Y Button. This view also marks the location of any Pokémon Center the player has visited with an icon.
The broad map is also used when the player uses Charizard Glide. In this mode, all places that the player can fly to are marked by wing icons.
The island maps (from the lower screen of the broad map) are also used when the player views a Pokémon's habitat from its Pokédex entry.
Poké Finder

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. |
The Poké Finder (Japanese: ポケファインダー Poké Finder) function allows players to take pictures of Pokémon at certain spots. Pictures can then be evaluated. As the player gets higher evaluations and takes better pictures, more features, such as the ability to zoom, will become available.
The Poké Finder is available for use in locations where the player's icon on the bottom screen turns into that of a camera. It can be activated by pressing the R button or tapping the camera icon.

Registration quotes
When the player registers a Pokémon in the Pokédex, Rotom will make certain comments depending on how the Pokémon was obtained or what kind of Pokémon it is. Some comments may be overridden by others, such as the comment for completing a page, which usually supercedes other comments.
- For caught Pokémon:
- "Why don't you check out just what kind of Pokémon it izzz that you caught, pal?"
- For evolved Pokémon:
- "Why don't you check out what kind of new Pokémon your pal evolved into, eh, bucko? Zz-zz-zz!"

- ?:
- "Congratzzz! You registered a Pokémon in your Pokédex. It'zzz a red-letter day...and I'm about as red as anything!"
- For registering all Pokémon on a single page:
- "Hot diggity! Look at you—you're on fire, partner! You've filled in all the Pokémon on a single page! It's like we're playing bingo over here! Zz-zz-zz!"

Ash received the a Pokédex from Professor Kukui in The Guardian's Challenge!. It was empty until Loading the Dex!, where Kukui completed the Pokédex by having a Rotom enter the device, turning Rotom into what it calls the Pokédex Rotom Version (Japanese: ロトムポケデックスフォルム Rotom Pokédex Forme). It has since registered Ash as its user and follows him around. Rotom claims to be a self-learning Pokédex (similar to an A.I.) and along with its ability to talk human language, it also updates itself whenever it finds something new about Pokémon. After finding a new Pokémon, it will display its info, and has a bad habit of getting up close and personal to the Pokémon in order to see if the information is true, only to aggravate and get attacked by said Pokémon. It gets along with Ash and all his friends, but has shown an aversion to Sophocles whenever he attempts to "study" it.
In SM017, Rotom Pokédex was shown to be a big fan of a detective show that Raki starred in and used his knowledge in an attempt to track down Ash's missing Electrium-Z. However, at the end of the episode, it has been revealed that the Z-Crystal had been stuck inside Rotom's wig the whole time.
In SM023, Rotom Pokédex updated itself with a voice duplication function. In SM024, it used this function to give Ash's speech for him during the Visitation Day, as Ash mouthed random words. The cheating was quickly caught, however, when Rotom started speaking faster, and began spitting out phrases from other people, like Principal Oak. Rotom was still happy to have given the speech.
After Rotom inhabited the Pokédex, it seems to have lost all combat functions, and is unable to use any moves. As shown in SM017, it can use the "arms" on the Pokédex to extract data from other electronic devices and now has a video camera function and a voice duplication function.

Trivia
- The Rotom Pokédex is the only Pokédex without the ability to view information about all known Pokémon in the series as of its respective introduction, as it lacks information on the 500 Pokémon not in the Alola Pokédex and the ability to receive a National Dex upgrade whatsoever. While the Pokédexes in the Generation I and II games also lacked a National Pokédex function, all known Pokémon at the time were present within the Kanto and Johto regional Pokédexes respectively, and the Pokédex in Ruby and Sapphire although lacking a method of unlocking the National Dex at the time of their release, was able to do so later on via trading with FireRed or LeafGreen after the release of the latter pair of games.
