Rotom is a species of Pokémon who is known to inhibit appliances, allowing to change form. These devices may often misbehave, but in some instances, may actually improve with a Rotom is possessing the device.

In the core series, Rotom is able to take form of five different devices (six, if it's base form, also called Rotom, is counted) when interacting with certain objects in either Rotom's Room or through the Rotom Catalog. During Rotom's initial debut in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, it can be encountered through a TV in the Old Chateau, having no distinguishing forms or transformations. Beginning in Pokémon Platinum, Diamond and Pearl's upper title, Rotom is able to take on the form of certain devices. Form this point onward, Rotom has been able to take on the appearances of these devices in various media including spin-off titles, the animated series, or even as tools and items in the core series.

Rotom's base form, simply called "Rotom" is how it appears without assuming any appliance. Rotom can enter a device and take on its appearance, some of which will alter to adjust to Rotom's own, while others, such as a TV, do not acclimate any of Rotom's features. According to the Rotom Catalog, a Rotom would need to possess a lightbulb in order to return to its original form.
