Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a fresh take on the well-known Pokemon franchise that has been around for over 20 years. There’s quite a few interesting new additions in this game, and that includes a variety of items that will be unfamiliar to the player. One of these is the Mechanical Box that will you will be offered for a hefty sum. If you want to know what it is, we’ll tell you in this guide.
Mechanical Box
You will come across the Mechanical Box pretty randomly, because it is sold by Ginter who has daily items that are either unique or hard to find in the game. The Ginkgo Guild are found right next to Galaxy Hall, and are in front of a wagon with yellow and blue clothing on. Tuli is also there and sells a variety of different berries and plants.

At some point, Ginter will offer to sell you the Mechanical Box for $10,000 – $40,000 Pokemon Dollars. That’s a lot of money, so I don’t blame you if you’re curious what exactly you are getting. Well, when you purchase the Mechanical Box, you are told that it has been brought to your dwelling. You might be confused where it is exactly, but you will find it on top of your dresser. The Mechanical Box is a Microwave Oven!
The Microwave Oven is used to change the form of the Pokemon Rotom. When you have a Rotom on your team or in a Pasture, it will ask if it can investigate the Microwave when you interact with it. Let it do so and it will transform into Heat Rotom, which is an Electric and Fire-type Pokemon that gets the move Overheat.

My guess is that the microwave oven came from one of the time rifts that you fell from. So, when you purchase the Mechanical Box, you will get an addition to your living space and the ability to change forms of your Rotom.
That’s everything you need to know about the Mechanical Box in Pokemon Legends: Arceus! You will find a variety of informative content on the game in the Pokemon Arceus section of our website.
Your article says 10.000 Pokemon Dollars, but i bought mine for 20.000
I’m starting to wonder if the price isn’t set in stone, but maybe I misremembered.
Mine was 60k omg lmao
Does it have to do with Rotom?
Yes, my mistake. I’ve corrected the article.
The Mechanical Box is used for Rotom’s Microwave Forme. It’s not useless. It has it’s use just not a normal use. Rotom utilises multiple forms and a microwave is not the only one.
Thanks, I’ve updated the article.
