You can unlock the Roto-Glide feature for your Rotom Phone in Pokemon Legends Z-A automatically during the 16th main mission, A Rogue Mega Beedrill. However, you should note that before you can proceed with it, you must first partake in the 15th main mission, A Job for Team MZ, which is a prerequisite quest. Once it is complete, follow the steps below to move forward with unlocking the Roto-Glide:

1. Meet your rival behind Hotel Z in Lumiose City, as marked on your mini-map, for the A Rogue Mega Beedril quest.
2. A short cutscene will ensue here where your rival calls you to the rooftop.
3. Interact with the ladder close by to reach the roof. This is where your rival (either Taunie or Urbaine) will introduce you to the new gliding mechanic.
4. After a brief dialogue sequence, they will install the gliding feature in your Rotom Phone, officially activating Roto-Glide for your character.
5. Afterward, you will be prompted to glide between nearby rooftops using Roto-Glide as a test. Successfully doing so will complete the unlock sequence, following which you can begin to use Roto-Glide freely in exploration.

Making use of the new Roto-Glide feature is quite simple. All you must do is hold-press the A button on your Nintendo Switch 2 after jumping from a certain height. Doing so will let you glide across areas and slow your descent. However, it is important to note that the Roto-Glide will not activate if the height is too low, restricting its usage to rooftops and other such areas.
