Pokemon GO Fest 2020 has finally arrived and players worldwide are being treated to bonuses from the condolement of their ain homes. Those fortunate enough to be ticket-holders of the big Pokemon GO event take enjoyed access to an additional slew of event perks, including the opportunity to come across a long-awaited Gen IV favorite, the shape-shifting Rotom.

Rotom is an case of one of several forgotten Pokemon, like Kecleon, that remain un-introduced to Pokemon GO despite the game moving past its respective Generation. Upwards until at present, Pokemon trainers had no way to run into Rotom, but the appliance-haunting ghost has finally made its appearance.

Trainers looking to meet and grab Rotom will have to put downwardly the Poke Balls and get ready to play photographer - the Electric-type ghost will exist bachelor throughout the entirety of GO Fest equally a photobomb run across. Much like Smeargle, or many of the hat-wearing Pikachu, Rotom will merely intrude on players trying to capture a movie of their Pokemon. This will happen upwards to 5 times per day, giving players a good handful of chances to capture the spooky critter.

If a player decides to have a snapshot of their Pokemon, there's a chance of Rotom (otherwise, Smeargle) photobombing the moment - if this happens, Rotom will be visible in front of the actor's Pokemon in the final epitome. If a photobomb has occurred, a thespian should simply end up their photos and exit to thePokemon GOoverworld (whether or non the photo is saved is irrelevant). Rotom should appear on the map as if information technology were a wild spawn, where players will be able to run across information technology similar whatsoever other Pokemon.

Please note that despite the above description, Rotom will only photobomb players with a paid Become Fest 2020 ticket.That said, aside from purchasing a GO Fest 2020 ticket, players need only accept snapshots of their partner Pokemon during the upshot to trigger an encounter with Rotom. So specifically, players should aim to trigger photobombs between 10 AM and 8 PM local fourth dimension, on Saturday and Sunday, July 25 and 26.

Although Rotom can exist encountered throughout the entirety of the GO Fest 2020 timeframes, many veteran players are suggesting Trainers hold onto their photobomb encounters until the expected 2x processed bonus following the Friendship habitat hour/during the Burn down habitat hour. With merely 10 total encounters, players would be looking at lx candies instead of xxx, only for catching Rotom at the right time. With Pinaps, a smart Pokemon Trainer could easily turn that into 120 candies.

Rotom is known, non just for being a unique Ghost/Electrical-type, but too for having the odd habit of occupying household appliances. Although Pokemon GO Fest 2020 just introduces the Pokemon'southward Electric/Water-type form, Wash Rotom, Rotom can be found in 6 dissimilar forms. Aside from its standard Ghost/Electrical class, Rotom appears as: Frost Rotom (Ice), Heat Rotom (Fire), Fan Rotom (Flying), Wash Rotom (Water), and Mow Rotom (Grass). Each version pairs its unique typing with an Electric typing, instead of Rotom'due south standard Ghost typing. Perhaps players tin look out for these alternate Rotoms in the nigh time to come?
