Roaring Moon @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 8 HP / 156 Atk / 160 SpD / 184 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Knock Off
- Acrobatics
- Substitute / Dragon Dance

The sounds of Salamence's ancestor are deafening! Roaring Moon utilizes the powerful Booster Energy and Protosynthesis combination to outspeed Ogerpon-W while also netting a powerful Attack boost. The bulk allows Roaring Moon to take any hit from Hoopa-U after Knock Off. Outrage is Roaring Moon's strongest STAB move, while Knock Off provides solid utility against item-reliant foes such as Custap Berry users and Choice item Hoopa-U sets. Acrobatics allows Roaring Moon to nail uninvested Ogerpon-W and Volcarona. Lastly, Substitute allows Roaring Moon to avoid being nailed by opposing Dragon-type foes such as Haban Berry Raging Bolt as well as win against both Urshifu formes in conjunction with Acrobatics. Dragon Dance, however, gives Roaring Moon the ability to muscle past bulkier foes like Weakness Policy Metagross. Pecharunt is a fantastic partner for Roaring Moon, as it can handle the Fairy-types such as Primarina and Iron Valiant that Roaring Moon struggles with. Psychic-types like Cresselia can help take down most Fighting-types such as Great Tusk and Urshifu-Rapid Strike that Roaring Moon struggles with.

The bulk allows Roaring Moon to live any hit from Hoopa-U.

The biggest thing that you'll need to include here is the "after Knock Off" because it dies to Choice Band Hoopa-U's Drain Punch and Choice Specs Hoopa-U's Focus Blast if that isn't mentioned here. I would instead mention that Knock Off is really good into Additionally, Knock Off also helps you deal with Custap Berry Hoopa-U as you mentioned later on. Just a very necessary explanation in my eyes.

Acrobatics allows Roaring Moon to nail univested Ogerpon-W while also providing an option against Fighting-types such as Urshifu and Annihilape. D

Acrobatics is also for Volcarona. I would not add Urshifu here because you need Substitute to be more reliable into it. I would also want this set to slash Substitute with Dragon Dance instead of Acrobatics because Substitute + Acrobatics can be used to catch both Urshifu forms, as Close Combat lowers their Defense stat, which allows Acrobatics to KO both Pokemon. This can also be used against some Great Tusk sets, but it isn't as reliable because Choice Band Earthquake is a good option, despite not always OHKOing.

Lastly, Substitute allows Roaring Moon to avoid being nailed by opposing Dragon-type foes such as Haban Berry Raging Bolt.

Mentioned this before, but Urshifu is a good add here for Substitute. Also, slashing Dragon Dance / Substitute instead of Acrobatics / Dragon Dance.

Psychic-types such as Iron Crown and Cresselia can help take down most Fighting-types that Roaring Moon struggles with.

I'd make the argument that Iron Crown isn't always a good answer to Fighting-types. For example, Great Tusk and both Urshifu forms can give Iron Crown a run for its money.

I'll take a second look after you implement this. If you have any questions about the qc, please do not hesitate to ask either here or at my discord (ostiare).
