Rotom's basic body looks similar to {{p|Castform}}, but Rotom has no real relation to any other species, since it doesn't have any evolutions or pre-evolutions. Rotom has a body of plasma. It also has teeth, which are often seen. Rotom also have unique eyes that have a dividing line across them. Even though Rotom is classified as being an Electric/Ghost type, it possesses traits that aren't usually normal for something that's supposed to be spirit, such as the need to eat, being able to faint and somehow reproducing. Rotom themselves are shaped like lightning rods, while the blue aura of electricity around them takes the appearance of lightning. | Rotom's basic body looks similar to {{p|Castform}}, but Rotom has no real relation to any other species, since it doesn't have any evolutions or pre-evolutions.

In {{game|Platinum}}, Rotom also has five extra forms (each based on a household appliance), which can be transformed between using an event-exclusive item called the [[List of key items in Generation IV#Secret Key|Secret Key]]. They are based on a {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), {{wp|fan}} (Fan Rotom), {{wp|lawn mower}} (Mow Rotom), and a {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom). Despite having visual characteristics of other types ({{t|Ice}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}, respectively), they share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types. Rotom's eyes and aura of electricity will change colors when it changes form. In contrast, their base stats are far higher than those of the original Rotom, to the point of being analogous to evolutions. | In {{game|Platinum}}, Rotom also has five extra forms (each based on a household appliance), which can be transformed between using an event-exclusive item called the [[List of key items in Generation IV#Secret Key|Secret Key]].
