While inhabiting the Pokédex, Rotom does not appear to have combat functions, and is unable to use any moves. As shown in ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]'', it can use its "arms" to extract data from other electronic devices and update itself with the device's function. Additionally, if it is upside down or sideways, it can recalibrate its screen to show the data the right side up. Rotom also uses the numbers on its screen to express the statistics, usually showing the percentage of something, for example, to show the likelihood of a Pokémon appearing nearby. As shown in ''[[SM056|Let Sleeping Pokémon Lie!]]'', Rotom has a clear waterproof casing, allowing it to be used underwater.

Rotom also is a huge fan of the show Alolan Detective Laki. It likes to cosplay as the titular character [[Laki]], wearing a wig modeled after his hairstyle of [[Laki]], which {{an|Professor Kukui}} bought for it, to achieve this. It also looks up to Laki and even used his thought process in order to figure out how to deal with the fact that it had become {{status|freeze|frozen}}. However, Rotom tends to jump to conclusions with its deductions, such as in ''Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!'', when it believed that {{an|Kiawe}} stole {{Ash}}'s [[Electrium Z]]. This was also shown in ''[[SM029|Lulled to La-La Land!]]'', when it accused {{an|Lillie}} of putting Ash and the rest of {{ashfr|the group}} to sleep and draining their energy, causing {{an|Mallow}} to jump to her defense. In addition, it is known to state the obvious through its calculations. Rotom is prideful in expressing the information it helps to deliver. So much so that in [[SM098]], it was revealed to have realised its goal of becoming the universe's greatest Pokédex.

In ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', it is revealed that if Rotom takes too much of a shock, it will be forced out of the electronic it is inhabiting. As mentioned in the episode's [[Poké Problem]], Rotom has spent so much time in its Pokédex form that it feels uncomfortable outside of it.
