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 mischievous, apparently shorting out electrical appliances just for the fun of it.
Habitat
Most likely electrical appliances. One of them had been discovered inside a TV.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
As with most Electric Pokémon, Rotom probably feeds on electricity.
