Rotom (Japanese: ロトム Rotom) is a Ghost/Electric-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Rotom looks similar to Castform, but Rotom has no real relation to any other species, since it doesn't have any evolutions or pre-evolutions. Rotom has a body of plasma. Even though Rotom is classified as being an Electric/Ghost type, it possesses traits that aren't usually normal for something that's supposed to be spirit, such the need to eat and being able to faint and somehow reproduce.

Gender differences

Rotom is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Rotom can creep into electric appliances and short them out.

Behavior

It is mischevous, apparently shorting out electrical appliances just for the fun of it.

Habitat

Most likely electrical appliances.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

As with most Electric Pokémon, Rotom probably feeds on electricity.

Trivia

It was rumored that Rotom was in memory of those who died in the seizure accident because it is part ghost and came out of a T.V

Origin

Rotom appears to be based of off Pulseman, although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenonemon of ball lightning. Its Pokédex entry brings to mind the legend of the gremlin.

Name origin

Rotom is the word motor backwards. Its name may also come from Rotation and Atom.
