The character
Varoom is a Poison and Steel-type Pokémon shaped like a cylindrical engine, known for lodging itself into vehicle motors. According to Pokédex lore, a mysterious Poison-type Pokémon crawled into an engine left in an abandoned factory, giving rise to this species. It is recognized for its single large eye and exhaust-like hands.

The illustration, credited to Souichirou Gunjima, depicts Varoom nestled inside a colorful, cluttered engine bay surrounded by tools and purple exhaust smoke. The oversized artwork extends beyond the usual frame, a hallmark of the AR treatment.
