Roaring Moon @ Choice Scarf

Jolly Nature

- U-turn
- Outrage
- Knock Off

[SET COMMENTS]
Roaring Moon is the fastest Choice Scarf user Dragon teams have access to, blitzing past opposing Choice Scarf threats like Latias and Enamorus, while also outspeeding Iron Valiant under Electric Terrain. Iron Head targets Mega Diancie and Alolan Ninetales; though it doesn't OHKO Iron Valiant, Tapu Lele, and Mega Altaria, Iron Head deals enough damage to pick these Pokemon off late-game. U-turn lets Roaring Moon keep up the momentum against walls that usually switch into it, such as Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Archaludon. Knock Off, aside from dealing with Ghost-types like Blacephalon and Gengar, also strips switch-ins like Staraptor, Rotom-W, and Corviknight of their items, making it easier for Dragon teams to overwhelm these defensive Pokemon late-game. Roaring Moon is unfortunately still outsped by even faster Choice Scarf users like Greninja and Meowscarada, or Swift Swim and Sand Rush Pokemon like Barraskewda and Excadrill, so switch-ins to these threats like Hisuian Goodra, Archaludon, or Mega Latias are appreciated. Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra also help a lot against a plethora of threats, with Archaludon providing Stealth Rock while weathering physical assaults from Mega Altaria, Weavile, and opposing Roaring Moon. Whereas Hisuian Goodra takes minimal damage from Tapu Lele and SubRoost Kyurem while also having the ability to phaze out threats Roaring Moon struggles to handle like Autotomize Celesteela or Volcarona. Kyurem and Z-move Kommo-o wear down the defensive cores of Water, Flying, Poison, Steel, and Normal teams which can provide an opening for Roaring Moon to clean up these teams late-game. Mega Altaria and Mega Latias love Roaring Moon removing Mega Diancie and Iron Valiant, as this opens up an opportunity for them to overwhelm Fairy and Fighting teams late-game. Garchomp wears down Steel- and Poison-types like Skarmory and Toxapex that Roaring Moon has trouble with, sets Spikes, and can phaze out threats like Volcarona and Unburden Sneasler that take advantage of Roaring Moon.

Roaring Moon is the fastest Choice Scarf user Dragon teams have access to, blitzing past opposing Choice Scarfed threats like Latias and Enamorus, while also outspeeding Iron Valiant under Electric Terrain and +2 Ceruledge if Drought is active. (RM gets the attack boost not speed.) Iron Head targets Mega Diancie and Tapu Lele, and though it doesn't OHKO Iron Valiant and Mega Altaria, Iron Head deals enough to pick these off late-game. (In this case we can just generalize this because even tapu lele doesnt get ohko by it only M Diancie and A tales. Or if anything, you can add like a semicolon instead of a comma after lele.) U-turn lets Roaring Moon keep up the momentum against walls that usually swap into it, such as Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Archaludon. Knock Off, aside from dealing with Ghost-types like Blacephalon and Gengar, it also strips swap-ins like Staraptor, Rotom-W, and Corviknight of their items, making it easier for Dragon teams to overwhelm these defensive Pokemon late-game. Roaring Moon is unfortunately still outsped by even faster Choice Scarf users like Greninja and Meowscarada, or Swift Swim and Sand Rush Pokemon like Barraskewda and Excadrill, so swap-ins to these threats like Hisuian Goodra, Archaludon, or Mega Latias are appreciated. Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra also help a lot against a plethora of threats Fairy- and Ice-types, with Archaludon providing entry hazard while weathering physical assaults from Mega Altaria, Weavile, and opposing Roaring Moon.(Add period) and also provides entry hazards, and Whereas Hisuian Goodra takes taking minimal damage from Tapu Lele and SubRoost Kyurem while also having the ability to phaze out threats Roaring Moon struggles to handle like Autotomize Celesteela or Volcarona.(i broke it down to two sentences since it just felt like run-on.) (add a M Latias sentence, it does help RM against Poison and Fighting types which is appreciated.) Kyurem and Z-move Kommo-o wear down the defensive cores of Water,(AC) and Poison, and Steel,(AC) and Normal teams respectively, which can provide an opening for Roaring Moon to clean up these teams late-game. Mega Altaria and Mega Latias loves Roaring Moon removing Mega Diancie and Iron Valiant, as this opens up an opportunity for them to overwhelm Fairy and Fighting teams late-game.

(mention Garchomp, Dragon still appreciates the Elec immunity but more so appreciates Spikes access and the ability to break or phaze out certain mons that the rest of Dragon cannot)

Kyurem and Z-move Kommo-o wear down the defensive cores of Water, Flying, Poison, Steel, and Normal teams respectively, respectively doesn't make sense here because it's impossible to pair them up which can provide an opening for Roaring Moon to clean up these teams late-game. Mega Altaria and Mega Latias loves love Roaring Moon removing Mega Diancie and Iron Valiant, as this opens up an opportunity for them to overwhelm Fairy and Fighting teams late-game. Garchomp wears down Steel- and Poison-types like Skarmory and Toxapex that Roaring Moon has trouble with, sets Spikes, and can phaze out threats like Volcarona and Unburden Sneasler which that take advantage of Roaring Moon.
