Professor Oak's Rotom (Japanese: オーキド博士のロトム Dr. Okido's Rotom) is the only Pokémon caught on screen by Professor Oak. It was caught at the Decolore Islands.
History
Best Wishes series
Professor Oak caught Rotom in To Catch a Rotom! at Torom Island. He came to meet Ash and his friends to the Decolore Islands on Torom Island and told them that he wanted to catch himself a Rotom in order to study its forms. They went to a site where lots of old electrical machines were kept, luring in three Rotom. At first, Professor Oak's attempt to capture one failed, but once he had, along with Ash and friends, saved the Rotom from being captured by Team Rocket, one of them freely accepted to come with him, and allowed itself to be captured by him.
Rotom reappeared in Butterfree and Me! where it surprised Ash on the computer screen when he was contacting Professor Oak. Rotom was shown to be very affectionate towards him as it shocked him the first time it happened.
It appeared briefly in BW142 to be filmed by Alexa.
XY series
Rotom appeared again in XY003 when Ash was contacting Professor Oak. It also appears in Professor Oak's Holo Caster, helping Professor Oak with his explanation, and often laughing at him when he gets hurt.
Personality and characteristics
Rotom is a prankster, often scaring Ash by appearing over the video phone whenever he calls Professor Oak.
