Varoom (Japanese: ブロロン Buroron) is a dual-type Steel/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
Biology
Varoom is an inorganic, metallic Pokémon, said to be created when an unknown Poison-type Pokémon enters and possesses an unused engine at a scrap-processing factory. Its front has a protrusion tipped with a shape somewhat resembling a skull; this shape contains a hole that resembles a frowning mouth. Its two yellow eyes are located on the sides of its body, and on its top is a tall block extending towards the back, with four black stripes decorating it. Its rear has a long exhaust pipe, tipped with a purple stain.
Varoom attaches itself to rocks that resemble wheels. These rocks constitute Varoom's diet, as it feeds on minerals from the rocks and converts them into energy. Rather than moving on the ground, Varoom is able to levitate and fly around. Varoom is used by Team Star as the rear wheels of the Starmobiles.
Varoom and its evolved form, Revavroom, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Spin Out.
Evolution
Varoom evolves into Revavroom.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Varoom and its evolved form.
- Due to them being part Steel-type, Varoom and its evolution Revavroom are also the only Poison-type Pokémon to be immune against their own type.
- Varoom and its evolution are the only Steel-type Pokémon consisting of a head and legs.
- Varoom and its evolution were shown in multiple trailers and gameplay showcases for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but remained unnamed until the release of the games.
- Varoom and its evolution were designed by Yusuke Kozaki.[1]
- In Generation IX, prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Varoom was unable to learn Rest.
Origin
Varoom seems to be based on a single-cylinder internal combustion engine, specifically those found in small engine applications. Its nature as an engine possessed by a Pokémon may be inspired by tsukumogami.
Name origin
Varoom may be derived from vroom (onomatopoetic sound of engine revving up).
Buroron may be a combination of ぶろろろ burororo (onomatopoeia for engine sounds) and ぶるん burun (vroom).
