While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Rotom has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and change forms.

In Generation IV, it is Electric/Ghost-type regardless of its form.

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 storeroom in Shopping Mall Nine, on the second floor of Professor Sycamore's Lab in Lumiose City, in Professor Birch's Lab in Littleroot Town, in the basement of the Pokémon Research Lab on Alola's Route 1, or with a Rotom Catalog. In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the Union Room or Wi-Fi Club, or when deposited in the Day Care.

Additionally, in Generation VII, it has the ability to possess a special Pokédex and become the Rotom Pokédex. In Generation VIII, Rotom has the ability to possess a smartphone that doubles as a Pokédex and becomes the Rotom Phone; Rotom are also used in Rotomi terminals and Drone Rotom.

Biology
Rotom transforming

Rotom is a Pokémon that 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. As also seen in the anime, Rotom has the ability to time travel.

Rotom and the appliances

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. According to the Rotom Catalog, Rotom in its base form is actually possessing a light bulb.

While Rotom typically use their abilities to make mischief, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others, as seen in Generations VII and VIII. The Rotom Pokédex, found in Alola; and the Rotom Phones, Rotomi, Rotom Bike, and Drone Rotoms found in Galar, are some examples. Some of these particular forms allow Rotom to speak human languages.

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; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and 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 base 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 base form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with Thunder Shock.

Trivia
Rotom Pokédex's type in the anime

Generation V type change
  • Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Rotom's base form or Heat 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.
  • Frost Rotom is the only Ice-type Pokémon in the Amorphous Egg Group.

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". Additionally, it may be based on electrical energy. Finally, Rotom's general shape seems to be based on that of a light bulb.

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.
