How to beat Revavroom

Revavroom has 2 versions in the 2026–27 Standard format, with up to 150 HP as a Metal Pokémon. Here's the maths for Knocking it Out — worked out from every Standard-legal card.

Game plan

1. Hit its Weakness. Revavroom is weak to Fire, so those attacks do double damage. 72 Standard cards can Knock it Out in one hit that way — the fastest needs just 1 Energy.
2. Don't over-invest. It only gives up 1 Prize card, so avoid spending a big two-Prize attacker on it if a cheaper Pokémon can do the job.
3. Avoid Grass attacks. Revavroom resists them, so they do less damage.
4. Plan for its big hit. Its strongest printed attack is Outta-Control Dash for 100 (3 Energy). 818 Standard cards have enough HP to survive one hit — before any Weakness, + or × effects.
5. Watch the Retreat Cost. It costs 2 Energy to retreat. If it gets stuck in the Active Spot, that's your chance.

One-hit Knock Outs using Weakness

These Fire attacks do at least 150 after Weakness. Fastest (fewest Energy) first.

One-hit Knock Outs without Weakness

Attacks with a printed 150+ damage (after Resistance).

Pokémon that survive its biggest attack

These can take a printed 100 from Outta-Control Dash and stay in play (Weakness included). Single-Prize Pokémon first.

Every Standard Revavroom card

Damage is the number printed on the card. Attacks marked + or × can do more, and Abilities, Tools and Stadiums can change the maths — always read the card. Energy letters: G Grass, R Fire, W Water, L Lightning, P Psychic, F Fighting, D Darkness, M Metal, N Dragon, C Colorless (any Energy).
