It evolves into Revavroom starting at level 40.

Biology

Varoom are said to be created when an unknown Poison Pokémon enters and possesses a scrap engine. Varoom feeds on minerals from rocks for energy and activities. It does this by connecting the rocks to its steel section. Varoom is used by Team Star as the rear wheels of the Starmobiles.

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

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Varoom and its evolved form.
  • Due to them being part Steel type, Varoom and its evolution Revavroom are also the only Poison type Pokémon to be immune against their own type.
• Varoom and its evolved form were shown in multiple trailers and gameplay showcases but remained unnamed until the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Origin

Varoom seems to be based on a single-cylinder car engine. The rocks it attaches itself to resemble wheels.

Name origin

Varoom may be derived from vroom (onomatopoetic sound of engine revving up).

Buroron may be derived from ぶるん burun (vroom).
