The Rotom Pokédex's primary function is a fully featured Pokédex. The player can browse and search Pokémon species, view data about them, and look up their habitats. The Pokédex can also produce QR Codes for the [[QR Scanner]] for most registered Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], a Pokémon that can only be encountered in an [[SOS Battle]] will have a picture of an [[Adrenaline Orb]] next to its location markers when the map is zoomed in.

* The Rotom Pokédex is the first [[Pokédex]] without the ability to view information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} known as of that time ([[Generation VII]]), as it lacks information on the 403 Pokémon not in the Alola Pokédex and cannot receive a National Dex upgrade by any means.

* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], [[Samson Oak]] mentions that the Rotom Pokédex was at least partially invented by a "young fellow from [[Kalos]]", which could be referring to [[Clemont]]. This is further supported by the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, wherein Professor Kukui reveals that the Rotom Pokédex was developed by "Kalos's famous genius inventor", and Rotom Pokédex's conceptual artwork for Sun and Moon, which features Clemont.
