How to Change Rotom Forms

Buy and Interact with Mechanical Items in your quarters

Ginter of the Ginkgo Guild offers Mechanical Appliances for sale. When bought, these appliances will appear in your home. With Rotom in your party, interact with these appliances and Rotom will express interest into changing form. To change Rotom back to its original form, simply interact with the appliance again.

How to Change Rotom's Form: All Mechanical Items

The Items Ginter Sells Are Random

The items required to change Rotom's form can be bought from Ginter of the Ginkgo Guild. However, the order in which he sells items can be random. You can change the item he is selling by catching 20 Pokemon in the wild. Repeat this process until he sells the Mechanical Appliance you are looking for.

The Price of the Appliances Increase Each Time You Buy a New One

The first Mechanical Appliance Ginter will sell costs ₽20,000. Every time you buy a new Mechanical Appliance, he increases the price of the next one he's going to sell by ₽20,000. You'll need a total of ₽300,000 if you wish to buy all the Mechanical Appliances needed to change Rotom's forms.
