Several retailers have shipped Pokémon Platinum before its Saturday release date, and game leaflets reveal the latest silhouettes to be alternate forms of {{bp|Rotom}}. These forms are obtained by using the event-exclusive Secret Key item, which will be distributed in Japan via Wi-Fi and retail stores beginning September 28. Rotom will transform into one of five forms depending on where the player uses the item.

According to Serebii.net:

'''Frost Rotom''':
* Resembles a refrigerator.
* Can learn the move {{m|Blizzard}}.

'''Wash Rotom''':
* Resembles a washing machine.
* Can use the move {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

'''Spin Rotom''':
* Resembles a fan.
* Can use the move {{m|Air Slash}}.

'''Cut Rotom''':
* Resembles a lawnmower.
* Can learn the move {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

'''Heat Rotom''':
* Resembles an oven.
* Can learn the move {{m|Overheat}}.

It should be noted that despite having visual characteristics of other types ({{bp|Ice}}, {{bp|Water}}, {{bp|Flying}}, {{bp|Grass}} and {{bp|Fire}}, respectively), they share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}}/{{bp|Ghost}} typing. In contrast, their base stats are far higher than those of the original Rotom, to the point of being analogous to evolutions.
