In this guide, we are going to take a look at how to change Rotom's form, as well as what each form does. These forms will come in handy if you want to keep Rotom in your main party; each form will change their type, allowing for new moves to be used. First, let's take a quick look at where you can find Rotom for the first time.
Where To Find Rotom
You can find Rotom is Coronet Highlands within the following areas.

To change Rotom's form, you will need to speak with Ginter, a merchant for the Ginkgo Guild. You can find this vendor to the right of Galaxy Hall, sitting next to a covered wagon. Ginter will offer a random item when you speak to him.
