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.
- When it possesses a microwave oven it becomes Heat Rotom, and is Electric/Fire.
- When it possesses a washing machine it becomes Wash Rotom, and is Electric/Water.
- When it possesses a refrigerator it becomes Frost Rotom, and is Electric/Ice.
- When it possesses an electric fan it becomes Fan Rotom, and is Electric/Flying.
- When it possesses a lawnmower it becomes Mow Rotom, and is Electric/Grass.
Depending on the game, its form can be changed at will in Rotom's Room in the Galactic Eterna Building, Rotom's Room in Silph Co., the store room in Shopping Mall Nine, or on the second floor of Professor Sycamore's Lab in Lumiose City.
In Generation IV, it was Electric/Ghost regardless of its form.
Biology
Rotom has a body of plasma and shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped arms. 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.
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). Rotom's eyes and electric aura will change colors and it gains differently-shaped aura appendages when it changes form: red with oven mitts for 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
In Pokémon Adventures, Rotom is a legendary 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 then 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 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.

OriginRotom appears to be based on Pulseman, who was actually 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 originRotom is motor backwards; this may refer to the fact that motors make many appliances function, while Rotom makes them fail. In Pokémon Platinum, it is revealed that Charon discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of his toy robot, and he named it Rotom due to its origin. In other languages
