Pokémon Legends: Arceus – How To Change Rotom Forms

It’s possible to change Rotom’s form in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Making its official debut in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Rotom has grown to be a fan-favorite in the Pokémon community. Rotom’s unique typing of Ghost and Electric makes it a powerful special attacker that works on almost any team. In Pokémon Platinum, it was possible to change Rotom’s form into different household appliances. Since Rotom’s whole deal is that it is able to possess any electrical object, when it does this, its typing will also change. Although, this Pokémon game takes place in the past, an era before electrical household appliances were commonplace.

Developers still found a way to incorporate all of Rotom’s different forms in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. First, trainers will need to find and capture a Rotom in order to change its form. It has the chance to appear in Coronet Highlands in either the Sacred Plaza or Stonetooth Rows. Make sure to check these locations at night since this is the only time Rotom will appear. Rotom has five different forms it can take as long as the player has the proper appliance.

To change Rotom’s form in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, trainers will need to purchase all five mechanic items. Speak with Ginter of the Gingko Guild and he will offer one of these appliances for 40,000 Poké Dollars. He can be found directly to the left of Galaxy Hall next to the player’s living quarters. Although, the exact appliance he will sell is completely random each time the player returns to Glinko. To obtain them all, the player will need to spend 300,000 Poké Dollars in total.

Changing Rotom’s Forms in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

40,000 Poké Dollars is a fairly steep price, but there are tons of different ways to get money fast in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. After purchasing an appliance, it will appear in the player’s home. To change Rotom’s form, interact with one of these appliances with Rotom in the party. These are all the different forms it can take.

• Mechanical Box: Used to swap to Heat Rotom (Electric/Fire)
• Mechanical Cabinet: Used to swap to Frost Rotom (Electric/Ice)
• Mechanical Circular Saw: Used to swap to Mow Rotom (Electric/Grass)
• Mechanical Pinwheel: Used to swap to Fan Rotom (Electric/Flying)
• Mechanical Tub: Used to swap to Wash Rotom (Electric/Water)

Rotom has special research tasks for collecting every form available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It’s important to get every Pokémon to research level 10 within the Pokédex to unlock the secret boss. It’s incredibly difficult and time-consuming, but it’s required to 100% the game. Doing this will also give trainers the Shiny Charm in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. This item makes it easier to encounter Shiny Pokémon while exploring the wilds. Aim to capture five Shiny Rotom to have one of each for the collection.
