Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
[SET COMMENTS]
Roaring Moon's excellent set of resistances, great Speed and Attack, and solid bulk make it a serviceable bulky pivot without the passivity of other RegenVest Pokemon like Manaphy and Swampert; in particular, its great typing allow it to scout and offensively check and prominent special attackers like Gholdengo, Iron Moth, and Hisuian Electrode. U-turn allows it to maintain high momentum, pivoting out of difficult matchups like against Great Tusk and Fluffy Corviknight and healing off any chip damage with Regenerator. Earthquake allows it to hit Steel-types like Kingambit and Heatran, which would otherwise trouble it. Roaring Moon tends to play aggressively, with its average bulk contributing to it being seen mainly on offensive teams; therefore, hard-hitting offensive teammates like Ogerpon-C, Chien-Pao, and Azelf enjoy its presence. Roaring Moon cannot safely switch in on strong Dragon-types like Latios and Walking Wake, so a secondary special wall like Empoleon or Scream Tail makes for an excellent partner. Entry hazards severely compromise Roaring Moon's longevity, and its lack of physical bulk makes it reliant on strong physical walls to take hits instead; as a result, physically defensive hazard removers like Great Tusk and Corviknight are nearly essential partners.
