Raboot is a caring Pokémon that, prior to its capture, would steal food from food stalls to give to a group of {{p|Nickit}} living with it in the alleys of [[Wyndon]]. It even went as far as to cover itself with dirt to fit in with them. However, it appears to crave attention, as shown in the end of [[SS005]], where it got angry that [[Koharu]]'s {{p|Yamper}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] wouldn't pay attention to it, before going to its Trainer with a tear in its eye. Raboot is an expert kicker who hates losing because it cares about its friends so much, especially its best friend and Trainer, Go. It is an energetic Pokémon that has difficulty sitting still, and can be seen kicking the air when needed to stay in one place. Raboot is very loyal to Go and would often sit on his shoulders. Also, Raboot will even jump up and give Go a high five with one of its feet.

History

As a wild Pokémon

In its debut appearance, as a wild Scorbunny

In the past, as a Scorbunny, Raboot joined a trio of Nickit living in the alleys of Wyndon and teamed up with them to steal food for living. In order to blend in with them better, it covered itself in dirt.

Scorbunny first appeared in SS004, where it and its Nickit friends stole Ash's Bag, which contained scones he and Go had bought. Go later lied to protect Scorbunny from the scone seller, claiming that Scorbunny was his Pokémon, although the scone seller immediately saw through his lies. After learning about Scorbunny's history, Go told it that it should try to explore the world beyond Wyndon. When Ash and Go rushed to catch their train to the Wild Area, the Nickit carried Scorbunny to the train station and tossed it into the train. At first, Scorbunny was hesitant, but when the Nickit assured it that they could take care of themselves now, it happily bid them farewell, before rubbing the dirt off of its body.

In SS005, Scorbunny tried to catch Go's attention aboard the train, but failed. When Go and Ash left the train at their stop, Scorbunny accidentally stayed on board before realizing what had happened, and was forced to jump from the moving train later on and try to catch up to Go by foot. After many hardships, it finally reached Go and Ash and managed to catch their attention while they were examining a Snorlax. Scorbunny expressed its willingness to become Go's Pokémon, but Go said that he had already decided to make Mew his first Pokémon. Suddenly, the Snorlax they had been examining Gigantamaxed and blocked a nearby train track in the process. With Scorbunny's help, Go and Ash were able to make Snorlax move and prevent an incoming train from hitting it. Impressed by Scorbunny's abilities, Go decided to make it his first Pokémon instead of Mew. Although Go's Poké Ball throw missed, Scorbunny hit it on its own and was successfully caught. When Go and Ash returned to the Sakuragi Institute, Professor Sakuragi was surprised to see Go having caught a Pokémon.

In SS007, Go used Scorbunny in the Battle Frontier Flute Cup, where it went up against Houji, who had just defeated Go's Scyther with his Mightyena. Like Scyther before it, Scorbunny was quickly defeated, eliminating Go from the tournament.

In SS017, after being taunted by Go's Darmanitan, Scorbunny tried to use Ember, only to fail. While Go thought Scorbunny's current moveset was enough, Scorbunny was determined to master the Fire-type move. During a battle against Team Rocket, Scorbunny disobeyed Go's order to use Double Kick and instead tried to use Ember, but failed once again, leading to its defeat at the hands of Team Rocket's Chewtle. When Go later criticized Scorbunny for trying too hard, it ran off to train on its own. When Go and Ash found it, it ran away again but accidentally bumped into Team Rocket. During the ensuing battle, Go, having finally understood Scorbunny's passion to learn Ember, taught it how to use the move by kicking a pebble with heated-up feet. This worked, and in celebrating its newly mastered move, Scorbunny evolved into Raboot and proceeded to send Team Rocket blasting off again. However, instead of celebrating the victory with Go, Raboot simply walked away from him.

In SS022, whilst visiting the Hoenn region, Raboot noticed a group of Zigzagoon were about to try and steal Ash's backpack and stopped them. During their time in Hoenn, Raboot visited the Zigzagoon and their leader Lombre and gave them apples at night. Go noticed Raboot was spending time with them and noticed Raboot take part in a dance battle against a group of Loudred. With Go's help, Raboot was able to win. As Go prepared to leave Hoenn, he decided Raboot would be happy with its friends and left it behind but regretted his mistake. Despite this, Raboot emerged on the train and reconciled with Go.

Personality and characteristics

Raboot is a caring Pokémon that, prior to its capture, would steal food from food stalls to give to a group of Nickit living with it in the alleys of Wyndon. It even went as far as to cover itself with dirt to fit in with them. However, it appears to crave attention, as shown in the end of SS005, where it got angry that Koharu's Yamper and Ash's Pikachu wouldn't pay attention to it, before going to its Trainer with a tear in its eye. Raboot is an expert kicker who hates losing because it cares about its friends so much, especially its best friend and Trainer, Go. It is an energetic Pokémon that has difficulty sitting still, and can be seen kicking the air when needed to stay in one place. Raboot is very loyal to Go and would often sit on his shoulders. Also, Raboot will even jump up and give Go a high five with one of its feet.

After evolving, Raboot became more aloof, and more emotionally distant from Go as a result of developing a rebellious phase, typically displayed by an overall tougher and seemingly more disinterested exterior, and largely not listening to some of Go's commands (although not full Disobedience) and ignoring him and the rest when talked to. However, in SS022, Raboot and Go settle their differences, as Raboot reveals he is in fact happy to be with Go despite his outward attitude, which in turns strengthens the bond between them. In this same episode it is shown that Raboot is easily embarrassed when people realize how he truly feels like. Raboot also appears to have developed a greater interest in Pokémon battles. In SS018, Raboot was quick to put up a disinterested front while Go watched Ash's battle with Visquez. However, by the middle of the match, Raboot was watching the battle closely, and after Ash won, it seemed pleased. Despite this, by the time Pikachu came to greet it, it had composed itself again.

In SS006, Raboot was revealed to have good hearing, being able to sense a Pidgeotto perching itself on a treetop from far away. It was also revealed to be hasty and quick to act, chasing after the same Pidgeotto and causing it to fly away.
