Revavroom is a solid setup sweeper, outspeeding the entire unboosted metagame after using Shift Gear. Revavroom's typing helps it find setup opportunities against Pokemon like Ogerpon-C and Scizor, and it carries helpful resistances against the priority moves of revenge killers like Lokix, Weavile, and Scizor. High Horsepower is Revavroom's strongest coverage move against Steel-types like Excadrill, Cobalion, and Heatran. Revavroom can alternatively run Temper Flare over Iron Head to roll past Skarmory and Air Balloon Steel-types like Excadrill and Tinkaton. Doing this also improves Revavroom's coverage against Scizor. However, dropping Iron Head makes Revavroom more reliant on Gunk Shot for its STAB move, hurting its consistency when it aims to drop threats like Tornadus-T, Latios, and Enamorus-T. Air Balloon creates windows for Revavroom to set up against Pokemon with Ground-type moves, including Excadrill, Hydrapple, the Ogerpon formes, and Tyranitar. It can also turn Clodsire into setup fodder for Revavroom. Filter enables Revavroom to stomach super effective attacks, like Heat Wave from Tornadus-T, while it sets up. Tera Ground powers up High Horsepower, making +1 Revavroom overwhelmingly likely to OHKO Cobalion without any prior chip damage. Skeledirge can be 2HKOed by Tera Ground High Horsepower, making it an unsafe switch-in to Revavroom.
Revavroom is a great feature on hyper offense teams, where its capacity to set up and sweep is most appreciated. Revavroom's good defensive typing gives more offensive and fast-paced teams some more resilience. Fellow setup sweeper teammates like Quaquaval, Scizor, and Thundurus-T can join Revavroom in offensive cores that overload foes like Skarmory, Slowking, and Heatran. Greninja can take advantage of Skeledirge entering the field to stop Revavroom from sweeping, while Revavroom can use Pokemon Greninja struggles against, such as Assault Vest Tornadus-T and Choice Scarf Zarude, as setup opportunities. Deoxys-S's entry hazards break Ogerpon-C's Sturdy, enabling Revavroom to more reliably sweep Ogerpon-C variants that have Stomping Tantrum in case its Air Balloon has been popped.
