Raboot Pokémon GO is a Fire-type Pokémon with its own GO stats, move pool and evolution requirements. This guide covers whether Raboot can be Shiny, how its evolution works, its weaknesses, current move pool and the main details worth knowing before you spend Candy or Stardust.
If you are building your collection or preparing for a future event, the Raboot Pokémon GO information below keeps the permanent details in one place. Exact encounter availability changes through seasons and events, so current event guides should always be checked alongside this evergreen page.
Can Raboot Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
No. Shiny Raboot is not currently released in Pokémon GO. Catching or encountering Raboot therefore cannot currently produce its Shiny form. This section can be refreshed when the Shiny becomes available.
How to Evolve Raboot Pokémon GO
Scorbunny
Raboot
CinderaceRaboot evolves from Scorbunny using 25 Candy. Raboot evolves into Cinderace with 100 Candy. Evolution requirements in Pokémon GO can be different from the main-series games, so the Candy, item, Buddy or time requirements above are the ones that matter in GO.
Raboot Pokémon GO Weaknesses
Raboot is weak against Ground, Rock and Water attacks in Pokémon GO. These are the attacking types to prioritise when you need super-effective damage against Raboot.
Raboot resists Bug, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Ice and Steel attacks. Pokémon GO uses its own battle multipliers, so the amount of damage differs from the main-series games even when the general type matchup is familiar.
Raboot Pokémon GO Stats
Pokémon GO base stats are not currently available for Raboot.
Raboot Pokémon GO Moves
Raboot can currently draw from the move pool below. The strongest choice depends on whether you are building for raids, Gyms, Team GO Rocket or PvP, so this evergreen guide lists the available moves rather than pretending one moveset is automatically best for every format.
| Move type | Available moves |
|---|---|
| Fast Moves | Tackle, Fire Spin |
| Charged Moves | Flame Charge, Flamethrower |
How to Get Raboot in Pokémon GO
Raboot is released in Pokémon GO, but its exact encounter methods can change as seasons, events, raids, eggs and research rotate. For that reason, the safest way to hunt Raboot Pokémon GO is to check the current Pokémon GO guides on The Click alongside this evergreen page rather than relying on an old spawn list.
When Raboot is set as your Buddy Pokémon, it requires 3 km of walking per Buddy Candy. Buddy walking can therefore provide another steady Candy source when Raboot is not appearing frequently.
Is Raboot Worth Catching in Pokémon GO?
Yes, there are good reasons to keep catching Raboot Pokémon GO when it is available. Candy can be used toward its evolution line. Whether you should invest Stardust in a particular Raboot depends on its IVs and the battle format you actually plan to use.
