Revavroom Weakness

Type-wise, Revavroom takes extra damage from Ground and Fire. Watch out for Ground attacks, those deal 4x damage. Poison moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 9 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Filter reduces SE moves damage, further improving the defensive spread. With 80 HP and balanced defenses, Revavroom can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
