Rotom is an {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon, at Level 15 (unbelievable—by now, the level of your Pokémon should be around Lv.60, unless you have brought a few low level Pokémon just for this battle). It has high Special Attack and Speed stats, its Defense and Special Defense are OK, and its HP and Attack aren't very good. It has {{a|Levitate}} as its Ability to avoid all {{type|Ground}} moves.

Because of its low level, the Nest Ball will have the same catch rate as the Dusk Ball. Furthermore, it has close to a 25% chance of being caught at full health (40% if asleep, and 33% with other status) when using ether of them, and a good chance of catching with a [[Quick Ball]] at the beginning of the battle too, so this can be done without any battling. But if you want to not waste your [[Poké Ball]] or just want too fight it first then bring at least 1 Pokémon at level 15-20 to battle with. Use Ghost-type or {{type|Dark}} moves to reduce Rotom's HP (don't try this with your strong Pokémon), and then weaken it further, if necessary, with moves that aren't of the Dark-type, Ghost-type, {{type|Normal}} ({{m|False Swipe}} won't work), {{type|Fighting}}, or Ground-type. If you did not bring a low level Pokémon then you can use status inflicting move instead (if you have one). When Rotom's HP bar is in the red zone, keep throwing Dusk Balls/Nest Balls until you catch it.

If you accidentally knock Rotom out, just soft reset to make it reappear.
