Raboot Evolutions
Partway through Scorbunny's chain. Raboot still has another evolution ahead before reaching Cinderace. For breeding, average hatch time with a massive partner pool via two egg groups. Speed has grown the most so far (+25), but there's still another 110 stats to gain in the final evolution. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Raboot to get Scorbunny eggs easily using 206 partners from the Ground and Humanshape egg groups. Notable egg moves include High Jump Kick, Sand Attack, Sucker Punch and 1 more.
SV Raboot Best Moveset
86 Attack at 94 Speed on Fire. AbilityLibero shifts type to match each move. Held ItemEviolite adds bulk since Cinderace exists. The moveset is fast for a middle-stage. One evolution from 116 Attack, 119 Speed, and the S-Tier Libero offensive package.

Moves List
Breeding's the move. High Jump Kick and Sand Attack give Raboot options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 9 types already covers a decent range on top of Overheat and Flare Blitz. The egg moves push it further.

Raboot Scarlet & Violet 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.
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 Scarlet & Violet, 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.
Base 94 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Raboot is a physical attacker with base 86 Attack.
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.
