The Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes of the popular Nintendo DS originals have introduced a lot of exciting new features that fans have been eager to explore. One of the most talked-about additions is the ability to obtain Rotom, an Electric/Ghost-type Pokémon. There are several ways to get Rotom in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, so for any players looking to get their hands on this unique mythical creature, here’s how to go about it.
Rotom Power Plant Farm
The easiest way to get Rotom in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is by visiting the Power Plant Farm, located just east of Route 4. The farm can be accessed by using your HM06 Rock Smash on the boulders blocking your way east from Route 4. Once there, you’ll find a variety of wild Pokémon including Rotom, making it an ideal spot for those looking to quickly add this powerful creature to their arsenal.
