New Rotom Forms; Pokemon Platinum

Wash Forme, Frost Forme, Spin Forme, Heat Fome and Cut Forme.
(washing machine)(refrigerator)(fan)(oven)(lawnmower)

They seem to be based on appliances and are avaliable when you obtain a Secret Key which is then used to change the original Rotom to any of the others.

No idea what each forme is for or what it does. Rotom still keeps its Electric/Ghost type.

I would assume that each form is capable of learning move types that are similar to the forme it is currently under.
For example-


Wash Forme is capable of learing Water attacks


Frost Forme, Ice attacks


Spin Forme, Flying attacks


Heat Forme, Fire attacks


Cut Forme, Grass attacks

I seen a guide somewhre let me try and find it for you

the moveset's base stat's and such

The base stats of these weird forms are the same, but every form has its special move.
The refrigerator learns Blizzard, The washing machine learns Hydro Pump,
The fan learns sky attack (im not sure), the oven learns overheat and the Lawnmower learns Leaf Storm

man the new rotum's are so hard to take serious lol

one look's like a refrigrator and antoher a lawnmower..... come on now

they should have put some new dragon poke's in platinum

they look funnier every time i see them (which is alot) lol but im with shiny they really need to make more DRAGON POKES!!!!

The new forms are cool, i like the flying one it kinda looks like a fan lol

That's because it is supposed to be one Jordan.... -.- I love them! Any clue when they come out?

They come out when platinum comes out

they are out just noone plays the jap platinum!,lol and why don't they get a new dragon? cause they're gay!

yup lol i know someone who already has platinum.If your really that desperate then order one from ebay.But you might have trouble reading the text if you dont know japanese.

I saw this before.
I think the new rotom forms are just stupid and retarted.

yeah they are retarted....but kinda cute! lol
you always need a joke in a game, like magicarp or jinx lol

yeah pokemon games have some good jokes in them like the competitive battling ability of bug types...! lol

I disagree Jynx can actually be quite good in competitive battling I'll make sure to breed and train one and use it against you =P

http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/479.shtml Go here to find all about the new forms. If you scroll down to the bottom you see the tm's and hm's the forms can learn and the special moves they can learn and the move tutor in platinum can teach them a thing or 2. lol

no im not saying its bad in fights im just saying it looks funny! because of the big lips and the blonde wig lol, many pokemon are funny looking, like wobbafet (cant spell) sure it is very strong but just to silly to take seriously lol, what makes it more funny is that in D/P they changed the female one so now it has lipstick lol!

It finally happened,they have officialy run out of ideas

yes he will still have the move(Deoxys and his forms are proof of it)
also Rotom doesn't learn water gun
Water Form: Hydro Pump
Ice Form: Blizzard
Grass Form: Leaf Storm
Fire Form: Overheat
Air Form: Air Slash

Indeed, if Rotom were to learn any of the above mentioned moves, he would still keep the moves if he changed forms because....in whatever form he is in, his type is still Ghost/Electric. Only his apperence changes, really.

Electric + Ghost, a little bulk, and the Levitate Ability give Rotom many resistances / immunities that are rather useful in the metagame. The Grass form happens to be a good Anti-Spinner with Leaf Storm hitting Donphan and Starmie pretty hard, Tentacruel with Thunderbolt (and Starmie would probably be better off with using Thunderbolt as well). The Blizzard one doesn't get too many fans, but with Hail, it can perform BoltBeam pretty well.

I'm thinking they will be BL tiers though, since their stats are good enough for OU. Pretty good defenses, but terrible HP.

i need to make a correction there, i have done research, rotom losses said move when he changes form, so only special move at a time
