Breeding's the move. High Jump Kick and Sand Attack give Raboot options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 8 types already covers a decent range on top of Overheat and Flare Blitz. The egg moves push it further.

Raboot Guide

  • Raboot is meant to evolve into Cinderace. At 420 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • In Sword & Shield, Raboot's biggest threats include Greninja (Water), Landorus (Ground), and Golem (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.

  • In Sword & Shield, Scorbunny evolves into Raboot at level 16. Raboot evolves into Cinderace at level 35. Raboot is a middle-stage evolution in the Scorbunny line.

  • Libero is what you want on Raboot. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Blaze) work on paper but Libero is what makes Raboot worth using.

  • In Sword & Shield, Libero is the hidden ability. It libero changes the Pokémon's type to that of its previously used attack. Worth hunting for if you want Raboot to compete at a higher level.

Game Availability

Raboot joined the series in Sword & Shield and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
