Below we have detailed how you can get the Rotom Bike in the Game and how to upgrade it.

How to Get Rotom Bike

To get the bike, you need to head to Route 5. This is where you will find Team Yell members bullying a man on a bridge. Your task here is to go help the man and stop Team Yell from bullying the poor man.

This will begin a battle with the Team Yell members where you will have to produce your Pokémon to fight the opponent. After you successfully defeat the Team Yell member, the man you helped will reward you with the bike.

How to Ride the Bike

To ride the bike, you simply have to use the + or – buttons on the Nintendo Switch. The bike can be used anywhere and helps you travel around quicker than running on your feet. You can also use the boost that it has by charging up with the B button on the Switch. This will release a short burst of speed where the bike will go fast.

How to Upgrade Bike

Upgrading your bike allows you to ride it over water. This makes traveling even better as you can just ride over lakes and make distances even shorter. The upgrade fits the bike with four small paddle wheels that allow you to move around on the water surface. This way, you can go discover new areas that you previously could not go to.

To upgrade your bike so that you can ride over water, you need to first beam Rock Gym after Route 8. This will give you access to Route 9. On the route, you will come across Team Yell again for a battle. This time you will have to fight two Pokémon to defeat Team Yell. Once you are done, you will get the bike upgrade that lets you ride over the water.
