Rotom looks similar to {{p|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 as the need to eat, being able to faint and somehow reproducing. Rotom themselves are shaped like lightning rods, while the blue electricity around them takes the appearance of lightning.

In {{game|Platinum}}, Rotom also has five extra forms (each based on a household appliance), which can be transformed using an event-exclusive item called the [[Secret Key]]. They are based on a {{wp|refrigerator}}, {{wp|washing machine}}, {{wp|fan}}, {{wp|lawn mower}} and a {{wp|toaster}}. Despite having visual characteristics of other types ({{t|Ice}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}, respectively), they share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}}- and {{type2|Ghost}}s. In contrast, their base stats are far higher than those of the original Rotom, to the point of being analogous to evolutions.

Due to having limited availability, the five forms are banned from official tournaments.
