You might recognize Rotom as the small Electric/Ghost-type Pokémon with the ability to turn into various appliances and devices. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, your Pokédex is even made from a Rotom, although you’re going to need to catch another one in the wild for it to count towards catching ’em all. It’s a pretty rare encounter and you won’t see them very often, so here’s everything you need to know about catching a Rotom and unlocking its various forms.
Where To Find Rotom
There are two ways to catch Rotom within Pokémon Sword and Shield. First off, Rotom can be found in max raid battles within Hammerlocke Hills. For those who might prefer more traditional Pokémon-catching methods, you can also locate the tiny ghost in the wild.
Rotom can be found in the wild area, specifically at the Lake of Outrage. The Pokémon has a 2% chance of spawning in the overworld when it’s raining, and will also pop up during thunderstorms at the same rate. You will not be able to find Rotom in random grass encounters. If it’s not currently raining or storming in your game, check out our guide on how to change the weather to what you want.
How To Change Rotom’s Forms
Once you’ve captured a Rotom, you’re going to want to know how to unlock its various forms. Base Rotom is a Ghost/Electric-type, Frost Rotom is an Electric/Ice-type, Heat Rotom is an Electric/Fire-type, Mow Rotom is an Electric/Grass-type, Fan Rotom is an Electric/Flying-type, and Wash Rotom is an Electric/Water-type.
To unlock these forms, first you need to head to Wyndon. Head south from the Wyndon gym, and enter the second house on the left (your character’s right). Inside, you’ll find a trainer who will challenge you with each and every form of Rotom. Once you defeat him, he’ll gift you with a Rotom Catalog.
Now, once you have Rotom in your party, you can open up the Rotom Catalogue and decide what appliance you’d like to change your Rotom into. The Pokémon will also learn a new signature move corresponding to the type you have chosen.
Now you know exactly how to obtain a Rotom of any form within Pokémon Sword and Shield. For our complete list on how to obtain and evolve every Pokémon in Sword and Shield, click here!
