Varoom Pokémon GO is a Steel and Poison-type Pokémon with its own GO stats, move pool and evolution requirements. This guide covers whether Varoom 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 Varoom 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 Varoom Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
No. Shiny Varoom is not currently released in Pokémon GO. Catching or encountering Varoom therefore cannot currently produce its Shiny form. This section can be refreshed when the Shiny becomes available.
How to Evolve Varoom Pokémon GO
Varoom
RevavroomVaroom evolves into Revavroom with 50 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.
Varoom Pokémon GO Weaknesses
Varoom is weak against Fire and Ground attacks in Pokémon GO. These are the attacking types to prioritise when you need super-effective damage against Varoom.
Varoom resists Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Ice, Normal, Poison, Rock 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.
Varoom Pokémon GO Stats
Pokémon GO base stats are not currently available for Varoom.
Varoom Pokémon GO Moves
Varoom 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 | Lick, Poison Jab, Metal Sound |
| Charged Moves | Acid Spray, Gunk Shot, Gyro Ball |
How to Get Varoom in Pokémon GO
Varoom 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 Varoom 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 Varoom 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 Varoom is not appearing frequently.
Is Varoom Worth Catching in Pokémon GO?
Yes, there are good reasons to keep catching Varoom Pokémon GO when it is available. Candy can be used toward its evolution line. Whether you should invest Stardust in a particular Varoom depends on its IVs and the battle format you actually plan to use.
