Rotom
I’m trying to get my head around this one because it’s just such a strange concept. The description of Rotom on Bulbapedia (yes, Pokemon Wiki) goes as follows:
It has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and change form.
When it does not possess an appliance, it is Normal Rotom, and is Electric/Ghost
When it possesses a microwave oven it becomes Heat Rotom, and is Electric/Fire
When it possesses a washing machine it becomes Wash Rotom, and is Electric/Water
When it possesses a refrigerator it becomes Frost Rotom, and is Electric/Ice
When it possesses an electric fan it becomes Fan Rotom, and is Electric/Flying
When it possesses a lawnmower it becomes Mow Rotom, and is Electric/Grass
So it just turns into white goods whenever it feels like it purely for the purpose of changing it’s power type. It just astounds me that stuff like this manages to get all the way to the game and TV series without anybody going “Hang on, has anyone else realised this Pokemon is pointless?”
But it keeps happening.
