The Rotom Rally is a competition that requires the player to ride the [[Rotom Bike]] and reach the location of another Watt Trader in within a predefined amount of time. The destination can be any Watt Trader the player has previously visited. Each possible route comes with a suggested time that varies with the distance between two locations, ranging from as low as 30 seconds (the [[Hammerlocke Hills]] to the [[Giant's Cap]] or vice versa) to as high as 190 seconds (the Hammerlocke Hills to the [[Dappled Grove]] or vice versa). However, the displayed time for a route does not match the effective time limit available to the player, which always begins at 30 seconds. | The Rotom Rally is a competition that requires the player to ride the [[Rotom Bike]] and reach the location of another Watt Trader in within a predefined amount of time.

During the Rotom Rally, when the player passes through a white balloon, the Rotom Bike receives a temporary speed boost. When passing through a red balloon other than the one that marks the finish line, the player receives a 15-second time bonus and the next set of balloons will appear on the path ahead. Contacting wild Pokémon does not trigger a battle but instead causes the bike to spin to a stop, costing the player speed.

Pressing A, X, +, -, ZL, or ZR at any time will pause the bike and the timer, and prompt the player if they want to withdraw from the race. The race will also end automatically in failure if the player runs out of time, or enters the [[Wild Area Station]], [[Motostoke]], or [[Hammerlocke]]. | ||
After successfully completing the Rotom Rally, a box will pop up showing the endpoints and a score, so that a screenshot can distinguish all the possible routes. This score is calculated as <math>\text{Seconds remaining} \times P</math>, where ''P'' is 600 if the selected route uses one of the three northern endpoints (Bridge Field, Giant's Cap, or Hammerlocke Hills) along with one of the four southern endpoints (Meetup Spot, Dappled Grove, East Lake Axewell, or Giant's Seat), or else 500 if both endpoints are on the same side of the Motostoke River. The player will receive {{TM|14|Thunder Wave}} for their first completed race, a [[Fast Ball] for their eleventh completed race, and {{TM|80|Volt Switch}} for the first time a race is completed with a score above 20,000 points (other than the first completed race overall). A sufficiently high score requires finishing the race with more than 33.33 seconds left for routes that involve crossing the river, or 40.00 seconds left for routes that don't. | After successfully completing the Rotom Rally, a box will pop up showing the endpoints and a score, so that a screenshot can distinguish all the possible routes.
