Overview
Rotom appears in Pokemon Pokopia in a brand-new form: Stereo Rotom, commonly known as DJ Rotom. This is a Pokopia-exclusive form where Rotom has possessed a mini stereo system, giving it a boombox-shaped appearance. DJ Rotom is one of seven Special Pokemon and the only Pokemon with the exclusive DJ specialty. Its typing is Electric/Normal, which is unique among all Rotom forms across the franchise.
How to Find DJ Rotom
DJ Rotom is found in Rocky Ridges, the game's third story region. After arriving in Rocky Ridges, Scorbunny leads you through a tunnel to a glowing stone wall. Behind it, you discover DJ Rotom in a backstage-like area. After rescuing it, DJ Rotom does not need a habitat to live in and can be seen wandering around Rocky Ridges freely.
DJ Specialty
The DJ specialty is exclusive to Stereo Rotom. No other Pokemon has it. DJ Rotom plays music when given CDs, and its music affects nearby Pokemon through the Hype and Mood systems.
Playing Music
To use the DJ specialty:
Collect music CDs from Poke Ball item pickups, Glowing Blocks, Dream Islands, and shops throughout the game.
Give CDs to DJ Rotom. It can hold and play up to 5 CDs in a playlist.
CDs play in order from left to right, then loop back to the beginning.
Music playback is limited to one area at a time.
Available Music
DJ Rotom's playlist features remixed themes from 30 years of Pokemon music, including tracks composed and arranged by Junichi Masuda. Confirmed tracks include:
Pallet Town Theme (Pokemon Red/Blue)
Fortree City (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire)
The Academy (Pokemon Scarlet/Violet)
Additional CDs are scattered throughout the game world. The full CD collection has not been completely documented, but fans have identified tracks spanning multiple generations.
Mood and Hype System
When DJ Rotom plays music, nearby Pokemon react with the Hype effect: they start dancing and generate Mood Points. You can talk to DJ Rotom to check the mood of all nearby Pokemon, which is especially important when preparing for a Party event.
The Mood system ties into Chef Dente's Party specialty. During the "Time to Party!" quest in Rocky Ridges, you must raise the Mood of nearby Pokemon using DJ Rotom's music to trigger a celebration led by Chef Dente. The Party produces high-quality cooked food and boosts comfort across all attending Pokemon.
Unique Typing
Stereo Rotom has Electric/Normal typing, which is different from every other Rotom form in the franchise. Standard Rotom is Electric/Ghost, while other appliance forms are Electric combined with a type matching their appliance (Fire for Heat Rotom, Water for Wash Rotom, etc.). The Normal secondary type reflects Stereo Rotom's role as a non-combat, music-focused Pokemon.

Tips
Collect every CD you find. Music CDs are scattered in Poke Ball pickups, Glowing Blocks, and Dream Islands. Some are purchased from the PC Shop.
Place DJ Rotom near areas where you want to boost Pokemon Mood before a Party event. Music affects all Pokemon within range.
During the "Time to Party!" quest, use DJ Rotom to raise Mood levels for nearby Pokemon. This is required to trigger Chef Dente's Party.
DJ Rotom does not need a habitat. It roams freely after you rescue it, making it easy to relocate by leading it to different areas.
Check Mood by talking to DJ Rotom. It tells you the current Mood level of every nearby Pokemon, which helps you decide when to trigger a Party.
