The Rotom Phone is an essential tool in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, serving as your Pokedex and map all in one. It’s a valuable asset that every character in the game possesses. And if you’re a fan of this quirky feature, you’ll be delighted to know that you can customize it and add some flair to your phone. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the process of changing your phone case in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, including how to unlock secret Rotom Phone cases using save data from other Pokemon games.
Where to Buy Rotom Phone Cases
To get your hands on Rotom Phone cases in Pokemon Violet and Scarlet, head to the Delibird Presents store. There are three stores in total: one in Mesagoza, one in Cascafarra, and one in Levincia. Each store offers different items for sale, so it’s worth visiting all three as you explore the world and take on various Gyms and Titans.
To find the nearest Delibird Presents store, open your map by pressing the Y button and use the magnifying glass to locate the correct store. Once you’ve found it, set a waypoint and travel there easily.
Inside the store, navigate to the Rotom Phone cases section in the store menu. Here, you’ll find a wide variety of phone cases to choose from, including some inspired by the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starter Pokemon.
You can equip your purchases in the store, but don’t worry if you change your mind later on, as it’s easy to change your phone case again.
How to Change Your Phone Case in Pokemon Violet & Scarlet
To change your Rotom Phone case, access the customization options through the outfits and accessories menu. Press the left button on your D-Pad to open the menu, which displays all the cosmetic items you’ve acquired so far.
Navigate to the last section of the menu, where you’ll find the phone cases you’ve purchased or unlocked during the game. Choose the desired phone case and make sure to save any changes before exiting the menu to ensure that your new phone case remains equipped.
How to Unlock Secret Save Data Phone Cases
In Pokemon Violet and Scarlet, there are several secret Rotom Phone cases that you can unlock by having save data from other Pokemon games on your Switch. To unlock these cases, head to Mesagoza and locate the character in sunglasses and a blue and pink outfit on the stairs leading up to the main plaza.
Speak to the character, who will introduce you to a practice called Rotometry. She will peer into the past lives you’ve lived by examining your Rotom Phone. You’ll be presented with a list of different regions from previous games, depending on the games you’ve played on your Switch.
The options that appear will correspond to the games you’ve played. For example, if you’ve played Pokemon Sword and Shield, you’ll see the option for Galar. Choose the region you want, and you’ll receive a unique Rotom Phone case that ties to that game.
Here are the phone cases you can unlock:
Hisui: Selecting Hisui will grant you a Rotom Phone case that resembles the Arceus-themed phone used in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
Kanto: Choosing Kanto will give you a light green phone case featuring Pikachu and Eevee, as if they’re ready for battle.
Galar: Opt for Galar to obtain the ‘Ball Guy’ phone case, inspired by the NPC of the same name in Pokemon Sword and Shield. This sleek red, white, and black phone case resembles a Pokéball and features a Rotom Phone with a red shirt and neat haircut.
Sinnoh: The Sinnoh option provides a phone case that resembles the Poketch device from the original Diamond and Pearl games, as well as the remakes.
To equip these secret phone cases, open the clothes and accessories menu with the left button on your D-Pad, just like you would when changing regular Rotom Phone cases from the Delibird Presents store.
