Rotom Pokémon cards
Rotom is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 18 cards in the newest Pokémon sets. Here's every new Rotom card, which sets to look in, and the rarest one to hunt for.
Lightning Pokémon are full of electricity, just like Pikachu. Their Energy symbol is a yellow lightning bolt.
How does Rotom evolve?
On its cards, Rotom doesn't evolve from or into another Pokémon.
The rarest new Rotom card
The rarest is Rotom ex 126/94 from Phantasmal Flames, a Special Illustration Rare card. Two gold stars. Big, detailed pictures of the most powerful Pokémon and characters — some of the hardest cards to pull.
Strongest and smallest
The Rotom card with the most HP (hit points) is Rotom ex from Phantasmal Flames with 190 HP. The one with the least is Rotom from Ascended Heroes with 60 HP. More HP means a Pokémon can take more damage before it's knocked out.
Rotom has 3 “ex” cards in the newest sets. Pokémon ex are big, powerful cards — but if one is knocked out, your opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one.
