Before this, only the various Rotom appliance forms were available, starting with Rotom-Wash dating back to Go Fest 2020. This was teased on the official Pok\u00e9mon Go blog when Niantic said: \u201cRotom is causing mischief\u201d during the event. Players who purchased a ticket for Go Tour: Sinnoh \u2013 L.A. will be able to decipher the hidden code displayed at the bottom of the Ghost in the Machine Research in the Event tab while present at the Rose Bowl Stadium. It's not exclusive to L.A. players, however, as Niantic notes, \u201ctrainers worldwide can redeem it, too!\u201d Much like the A Coded Quest Timed Research from Go Tour: Hoenn last year\u2014which featured encounters with Regice, Regirock, and Registeel\u2014the code was dumped online instantly, which means you can complete the Timed Research right away. All you need to do is enter the code, complete a task, and catch a Rotom.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Rotom-Pokemon-TCG.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1131488"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1131488"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1131488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1134854,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1131488\/revisions\/1134854"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1134949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1131488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1131488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1131488"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1131488"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1131488"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1131488"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1131488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
