Rotom claims to be a self-learning Pokédex (similar to an {{wp|Artificial intelligence|A.I.}}) and has the ability to speak [[human]] language. | Rotom claims to be a self-learning Pokédex (similar to an {{wp|Artificial intelligence|A.I.}}) and has the ability to speak [[human]] language. Early in the series, it has a bad habit of getting up close and personal to the Pokémon in order to see if the information about it is true, only to annoy and get attacked by said Pokémon. It also updates itself whenever it meets a new Pokémon by [[Photography|taking pictures]] of it or when it finds something new about a Pokémon. As shown in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', once Rotom Dex updates its photographic database and finds a way to describe the new Pokémon, the updated information then becomes available to download on various other Pokédexes. Rotom gets along with Ash and all of {{ashfr}}, but has shown an aversion to {{an|Sophocles}}'s attempts to "study" it. Largely due its self-learning nature, it also has an innate desire to catalog any Pokémon within the region. In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', it left during a field trip to Kanto on its own to try and catalog all 151 Kanto Pokémon, only missing one, {{p|Mew}}, by the time it returned to Oak's Lab. | ||
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. | While inhabiting the Pokédex, Rotom does not appear to have combat functions, and is unable to use any moves.
