| 8 | ---- |
| 9 | !!This episode contains examples of the following tropes: |
| 10 | * CryptidEpisode: Or at least subplot. The mythical Pokémon Marshadow makes a cameo appearance, and the Rotoms have very different opinions on attempting to photograph it. |
| 11 | * DisasterDominoes: Lycanroc annoys Litten. Litten uses Ember, misses, and hits Rowlet. Rowlet does a diving kick, misses, and hits Pikachu. Pikachu does Thunderbolt and electrocutes ''everybody'', causing Ash's Rotom to be swapped with a washing machine that was delivered to Professor Kukui by mistake. |
| 12 | * HarmlessFreezing: Sophocles's fate when faced with Frost Rotom. |
| 13 | * HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler:When the DisasterDominoes strike for a third time, Ash discovers that Rotom is missing from the Pokédex again. This time, it has accidentally possessed the entire Pokémon Center.]] |
| 14 | * OutOfBodyExperience: Rotom gets electrically exorcised by Pikachu, and spends most of the episode trying to get back to Ash's Pokédex. |
| 15 | * PaperThinDisguise: In a way. Ash really doesn't figure out he's got the wrong Rotom. |
| 16 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Rotom's inability to clearly speak to the other cast members leads to a large number of unneeded altercations. |
| 17 | * PowerIncontinence: Rotom has trouble controlling the abilities of its appliance formes, usually resulting in chaos. |
| 18 | * TranslationConvention: Rotom narrates the events throughout the episode, but none of the cast members can understand it. |
| 19 | * VerbalTic: The other Rotom says "wash" a lot. |
