Raboot cements itself as a prominent wallbreaker in NFE thanks to its ability Libero and high power coverage moves. Flare Blitz allows it to break past Pokemon such as specially defensive Clefairy, Roselia, and Klang. High Jump Kick targets Pokemon that can withstand Flare Blitz like Carkol and Piloswine. Sucker Punch provides Raboot with priority, allowing it to handle faster threats, the most notable one being Kadabra. Alternatively, Assurance can be an option to reliably hit checks like Lampent, which would otherwise force Raboot out. U-turn allows Raboot to act as an offensive pivot and switch out against checks such as bulky Machoke, Brionne, and Wartortle. Choice Scarf is an option so that Raboot can outspeed faster threats such as Galarian Linoone and Kadabra.
Choice Band Raboot functions best early- to mid-game where it can punch holes through the opponent's team. Raboot is an offensive pivot weak to Stealth Rock, so it appreciates entry hazard removal from Pokemon such as Hattrem, Wartortle, and Vullaby to ensure it stays healthy. Hattrem is a particularly good partner thanks to it being able to get Raboot back to full health with Healing Wish and heavily threaten defensive Machoke and common entry hazard setters such as Piloswine and Palpitoad. Alternatively, entry hazard support from the likes of Piloswine, Roselia, and Ferroseed help Raboot break past bulkier foes that may try and switch in, such as Galarian Corsola. Pivots such as Vullaby, Seadra, and Galarian Linoone form a VoltTurn core while also supporting Raboot. Galarian Linoone can addtionally lure in Machoke and remove its Eviolite with Knock Off. Setup sweepers such as Wartortle, Klang, and Hakamo-o value Raboot's ability to weaken or remove their respective checks such as Piloswine, Kadabra, and Roselia. Finally, Raboot appreciates Pokemon that can utilize Knock Off such as Galarian Linoone, Machoke, and Tangela.

Bulk Up grants Raboot the ability to better handle physical threats such as offensive Machoke and Galarian Linoone. Additionally, Bulk Up allows Raboot to threaten defensive Pokemon such as Clefairy and physically defensive Machoke, although it still struggles with Strength Sap Galarian Corsola and Haze Mareanie. Flare Blitz deals solid damage to a handful of threats in NFE such as Machoke, Hattrem, and Gloom. Sucker Punch is an absolute necessity on Raboot, threatening faster Pokemon like Kadabra and Drakloak. High Jump Kick provides Raboot with a coverage option that targets foes such as Carkol, Piloswine, and Galarian Linoone. U-turn can be used over High Jump Kick to pivot out of unfavorable matchups such as Galarian Corsola, Mareanie, and Brionne.
Raboot is most effective mid- to late-game where it can more easily set up and sweep against opposing Fairy- and Fire-types, as well as Pokemon such as Klang. Raboot appreciates entry hazards, so Pokemon such as Piloswine, Carkol, and Roselia pair well with it. Raboot is often pressured by opposing Water-types, so checks such as Klang, Tangela, and the previously mentioned Roselia make for good teammates. Special wallbreakers such as Kadabra, Brionne, and Roselia can threaten physically defensive walls that check Raboot such as Machoke, Galarian Corsola, and Mareanie. Alternatively, special walls such as Brionne and Roselia make for great partners due to Raboot being threatened by special attackers. These Pokemon also appreciate Raboot's ability to check threats like Galarian Linoone and Klang. Because Raboot is weak to entry hazards, it values Pokemon that can remove them such as Dartrix, Vullaby, and Wartortle. Knock Off users such as Galarian Linoone, Machoke, and Tangela complement Raboot by removing opposing Eviolite.
