- Voice actor: Daisuke Sakaguchi (both English and Japanese)
Rotom has a body of plasma. It also has teeth, which are often seen. Rotom also have unique eyes that have a dividing line across them. Rotom themselves are shaped like lightning rods, while the blue aura of electricity around them takes the appearance of lightning. Its height is 1'00" and weight is 0.7 lbs.
Rotom also has five extra forms (each based on a household appliance), which can be accessed by possessing specific appliances. No matter where it really is, its form can be changed at will in Rotom's Room in either the Galactic Eterna Building, Silph Co., or the store room in Shopping Mall Nine.
They are based on a microwave oven (Heat Rotom), washing machine (Wash Rotom), refrigerator (Frost Rotom), electric fan (Fan Rotom), and a lawnmower (Mow Rotom). Regardless of its form, they are all Electric/Ghost-type. Rotom's eyes and aura of electricity will change colors when it changes form, but the aura remains the same color if it is Shiny. In contrast, their base stats are far higher than those of the original Rotom.
