Revavroom (Japanese: ブロロローム Burororoom) is a dual-type Steel/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It evolves from Varoom starting at level 40.

Revavroom has five different Starmobile forms created by Ortega, which are only seen in battles against the respective squad bosses of Team Star and are unobtainable by players. Each of them has a different type, Ability, and signature move.

Biology

Revavroom installed onto a Starmobile

Revavroom is an inorganic Pokémon resembling a car engine. Its metallic body has an atypical arrangement, with a singular yellow eye at the front and center. The front of Revavroom's body also has a few spikes to the left and right, along with a small hole resembling a frown located just below its eye, although this hole does not function as its mouth. On Revavroom's sides are eight cylinders, each one tipped with a purple stain. The two longest cylinders reach out towards the back and flare out at the ends; these cylinders function as the Pokémon's exhaust. The remaining six cylinders sit on top of the two long cylinders, with three on each one.

Revavroom's large, cylindrical mouth is located on top of its body, and resembles air filters found on muscle car engines. This mouth has jagged serrations resembling teeth and contains a long tongue, which Revavroom uses to unleash toxic fluids. The top and bottom halves of the mouth do not connect with each other.

Revavroom typically attaches itself to rocks that resemble the wheels and the body of a wagon, which it uses as a means of locomotion. It can create gas by combining the minerals in the rocks with its poison. The gas is then detonated in its cylinders to generate energy for itself. This aggressive Pokémon uses the sounds of its exhaust to threaten foes. Revavroom typically levitates and flies around in the air instead of moving on the ground. Revavroom are capable of running machines when attached to them; this is evidenced by the Starmobiles, which are vehicles Ortega created for Revavroom to run as an engine alongside Varoom. The Revavroom running the Starmobiles are larger than others of their species.

Revavroom and its pre-evolved form, Varoom, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Spin Out.

Trivia

"If we were going to make a Pokémon based on the motif of a car, for example, what would it eat? Would you make it able to suck up gasoline? How would it use the energy it got from that—how would it use that source of power? Even if the design is based on a car, a Pokémon is a living creature, so we would work over and over how to express its "car-ness" and what its source of energy should be."[1]

Origin

Revavroom seems to be based on a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, and the rocks attached to its body make Revavroom resemble an automobile. The grill and spikes on its fascia combine to form a skull, which is a common icon for toxic substances. Its nature as an engine possessed by a Pokémon and its nature as a living automobile may be inspired by tsukumogami and the Oboroguruma.

Revavroom may also draw inspiration from the flying car trope found throughout fantasy and science fiction. Revavroom's Starmobile forms seem to be based on dekotora, a Japanese style of modifying trucks with elaborate stainless steel parts, murals, and LED lights. Revavroom's access to moves such as Parting Shot, Torment, and Taunt may reference the phenomenon of road rage.

Name origin

Revavroom may be a combination of rev (to increase the running speed of an engine by pressing on the accelerator) and vroom (onomatopoetic sound of engine revving up).

Burororoom may be a combination of ぶろろろ burororo (onomatopoeia for engine sounds) and vroom. It may also involve roam.
