Copyediting Revavroom (GP: 0/2)

[feen]

[OVERVIEW]

Shift Gear Revavroom is one of the most threatening late-game sweepers of the tier. With access to Shift Gear and great defensive typing in Poison and Steel, all Revavroom needs is one boost to be able to offensively overwhelm most of the tier. Setting up is made easier with its ability Filter, which allows it to take a Flamethrower from defensive Moltres. Revavroom also has access to useful coverage moves, which allows it to threaten Steel, Poison, and Fire-types in the tier. Nevertheless, Revavroom is quite frail, as its poor Special Defense and reliance on Air Balloon to set up can be exploited by the numerous Ground-type Pokemon in the tier, especially Hippowdon, Rhyperior, Quagsire, and Krookodile, as they can take a +1 hit from full HP and OHKO Revavroom back.

Revavroom is a one dimensional Pokemon that focuses solely on setting up with Shift Gear and proceeding to sweep the opposing team. With an Adamant Nature, a single Shift Gear makes Revavroom outspeed all the relevant Choice Scarf users in the tier. Revavroom has access to Gunk Shot and High Horsepower, which gives it excellent coverage; Gunk Shot is a strong STAB move which nearly (or entirely) KOs defensive staples like Moltres, Fezandipiti, Chesnaught, and Rotom-H after one Shift Gear, while High Horsepower hits Steel- and Poison-types that resist or are immune to Gunk Shot. Iron Head gives it a reliable STAB move, which also hits Ground-types. Tera Ground gives Revavroom STAB damage on High Horsepower, which allows it to grab crucial OHKOs after one Shift Gear boost, such as Cobalion, Volcanion, and Fezandipiti.

Revavroom is a staple on hyper offense teams, and its role is usually the late game cleaner. Therefore it prefers wallbreakers and other setup sweepers such as Shell Smash Blastoise, Enamorus-Therian, Basculegion-F, Terrakion, and Yanmega. The usual gameplan with Revavroom is wearing down Steel- and Fire-types with it, allowing another sweeper such as Mimikyu or Blastoise to clean. The opposite is also true: Blastoise and Yanmega can weaken the bulky Ground- and Water-types for Revavroom to sweep endgame. Revavroom should usually be brought in after a teammate has been KOed to ensure Air Balloon remains intact and Revavroom is at near full health, as it is frail defensively.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====

Revavroom can opt to run Tera Blast Grass, which also threatens Water- and Ground-types such as Slowbro, Quagsire, Hippowdon, and Rhyperior. Temper Flare is also an option to take down ground immune Steel-types such as Bronzong, and Tera Steel Rotom-H, as well as helping versus an opposing Revavroom. Temper Flare can also be boosted with Tera Fire, making Revavroom immune to burn. Finally, Taunt is a solid option to completely wall and set up on Hippowdon with Air Balloon if Hippowdon is running Whirlwind, Quagsire, and block Will-O-Wisp from Moltres. Tera Flying + Taunt is a good combination to completely shut down Whirlwind Hippowdon and Quagsire even after the Air Balloon breaks. Revavroom can also opt to run Leftovers + Magnet Rise to get rid of the Ground-type weakness and allow it to set up on Ground-types more easily. Clear Amulet can also be used to block Intimidate from Krookodile and Salamence. Toxic can be used to put bulky Fire- and Water-type switchins on a timer. Toxic Spikes can take advantage of the free turns Revavroom generates. Toxic and Toxic Spikes could be used on a Choice Scarf Revavroom set, which could be a decent role compression Pokemon that can also pivot using Parting Shot.

Checks and Counters
====

**Levitating Steel-types**: Levitating Steel-Types are immune to Gunk Shot and Stomping Tantrum, and resist Iron Head. As such, Pokemon such as Bronzong and Tera Steel Rotom-Heat are the sturdiest answers to Revavroom.

**Bulky Ground-types**: Revavroom fails to KO bulky Ground-types such as Hippowdon, Quagsire, and Palossand even after a Shift Gear boost, and can be threatened to be KOed by them.

**Cobalion**: Tera Ghost Iron Defense Cobalion is a solid check to Revavroom, resisting all attacks and threatening Revavroom with Body Press. Even if Cobalion does not Terastallize, a boosted High Horsepower fails to KO it.

**Moltres**: Bulky Moltres can survive a boosted Gunk Shot and can threaten huge damage or a Will-O-Wisp burn back. Moltres also commonly runs Tera Steel which can absorb a Gunk Shot from Revavroom.

**Bulky Water-types**: Bulky Water-types such as Slowbro, Quagsire, and Gastrodon deal with Revavroom quite well, threatening burn with Scald for Slowbro's case, or outright KO Revavroom with Ground-type STAB from Quagsire or Gastrodon. They do lose to Tera Grass variants, however.

Revavroom is a one dimensional Pokemon that focuses solely on setting up with Shift Gear and proceed to sweep the opposing team. This explains the max Atk and Speed EV investments,don't talk about 252/252 spreads if they're obvious with an Adamant Nature due to a single Shift Gear making Revavroom outspeed all the relevant Choice Scarf users in the tier barring Noivern. Revavroom has access to Gunk Shot and High Horsepower, which gives it excellent coverage; Gunk Shot is a strong STAB move which nearly (or entirely) KOs defensive staples like Moltres, Fezandipiti, Chesnaught, and Rotom-Heat after one Shift Gear, while High Horsepower hits Steel- and Poison-types such as Cobalion, Jirachi, Klefki, Okidogi, Magnezone, and Empoleon that resist or are immune to Gunk Shot. Iron Head gives it a reliable STAB move, which also hits Ground-types respectively, such as Hippowdon, Palossand, Krookodile, and Rhyperior.

Revavroom is a staple on hyper offense teams, and its role is usually the late game cleaner. Therefore it prefers wallbreakers and other setup sweepers such as Shell Smash Blastoise, Booster Energy Iron Leaves, Enamorus-Therian, Basculegion-F, Terrakion, and Yanmega. Due to Revavroom's frail stats, Pokemon such as Jirachi, Cyclizar, and Moltres can make it easier for Revavroom to switch in with U-Turn. This also helps due to Cyclizar and Jirachi inviting Hippowdon to switch in, which is a setup fodder for Air Balloon Revavroom. Revavroom also appreciates Spikes stacking, so teammates such as Chesnaught, Klefki, Gastrodon, and Quagsire is a good option. Finally, bulky Water- and Fire-types are good teammates for Revavroom, as they can switch on to defensive Fire-types which handle Revavroom well. This is why Pokemon such as Volcanion, Moltres, Slowbro, and Milotic are good partners for Revavroom. Focus on Revavroom's role in Hyper Offense instead. Don't hesitate to explain in great detail simple gameplans with common teammates, like how Revavroom can severely weaken Steel- and Fire- types such as Forretress or Moltres for Iron Leaves to clean up later or vice-versa, or that bulky Fire and Steels beating Revavroom can allow for an easy setup for Blastoise for example. Add a line saying that Revavroom will always be sent in after a teammate was KO'ed due to its low defensive stats. All these points are applicable on the rare Bulky Offense teams that could run Revavroom.
