Can you breed Rotom in scarlet and violet?

The answer to whether you can breed Rotom in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is yes, but with a significant condition: Rotom can only breed with Ditto because it is a genderless Pokémon. This unique breeding requirement is due to Rotom’s classification as part of the Indeterminate or Amorphous Egg Group, which mainly consists of Ghost and Psychic types that do not have genders, limiting their breeding options to Ditto.
