[SET COMMENTS]
Roaring Moon capitalizes on opponents' overfamiliarity with its Choice Scarf set to set up Dragon Dance and overwhelm opposing teams. +1 Z-Crunch OHKOes Rotom-W, Slowbro, and physically defensive Gholdengo, OHKOes Unaware Skeledirge normally, and OHKOes Celesteela after some chip damage. Alternatively, Knock Off removes items from checks like Corviknight and Rotom-W before Roaring Moon sets up and sweeps later. Knock Off is also preferred on Heavy-Duty Boots sets, as it offers more utility and upfront damage. Earthquake complements its Roaring Moon's Dark-type STAB attack by dealing with Fairy- and Dark-types like Tapu Koko and Alolan Muk. Substitute gives Roaring Moon safety while setting up, turning Slowbro and Toxapex into setup fodder, while Iron Head enables it to clean up Fairy teams at +1 if it finds time to set up; Iron Head also OHKOes Mega Diancie at +0. Mega Altaria with Dragon Dance or Agility complements Roaring Moon, dealing with Fighting- and Dragon-types like Iron Valiant, Kommo-o, and opposing Mega Altaria that Roaring Moon struggles with. Mega Altaria can also use Will-O-Wisp to prevent Celesteela, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu from breaking Roaring Moon's Substitute in one hit. Choice Scarf Latias handles Fighting-types like Iron Valiant and Mega Lopunny, and it provides Healing Wish to provide Roaring Moon with a second chance to sweep. Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra provide crucial neutralities to Ice and Fairy, and they deal with Weavile and Meowscarada and Tapu Lele and Kyurem, respectively. Teammates that wear down Steel teams like Garchomp, Mega Latios, Walking Wake, and Kommo-o are appreciated; in return, Roaring Moon tears through their checks in Celesteela, Alolan Muk, and Galarian Slowking.

Roaring Moon capitalizes on opponents' overfamiliarity with its Choice Scarf set to set up Dragon Dance and overwhelm opposing teams. Knock Off, when boosted by Darkinium Z, allows Roaring Moon to tear apart Slowbro and Physically Defensive Gholdengo, while also removing items from checks like Corviknight and Rotom-W before setting up and sweeping later. If item removal isn't a priority, Crunch offers more consistent damage and OHKOes Unaware Skeledirge, Rotom-W, and Celesteela after Stealth Rock damage at +1 when boosted with Darkinium Z. [Cele still be surviving +1 220 Atk Roaring Moon Black Hole Eclipse (160 BP) vs. 248 HP / 156+ Def Celesteela: 307-363 (77.3 - 91.4%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock +1 220 Atk Roaring Moon Black Hole Eclipse (160 BP) vs. 248 HP / 212+ Def Celesteela: 294-346 (74 - 87.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery.] Earthquake complements its Dark-type STAB by dealing with Fairy- and Dark-types like Tapu Koko and Alolan Muk. Substitute gives Roaring Moon safety while setting up, turning Slowbro and Toxapex into setup fodder, while Iron Head enables it to clean up Fairy teams at +1 if it finds time to set up and OHKOes Mega Diancie even without boosts. Mega Altaria with Dragon Dance or Agility complements Roaring Moon, dealing with Fighting- and Dragon-types like Iron Valiant, Kommo-o, and opposing Mega Altaria that Roaring Moon struggles with. Mega Altaria can also use Will-o-Wisp to prevent Celesteela, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu from being able to break Roaring Moon's Substitute. Choice Scarf Latias also handles Fighting-types like Iron Valiant and Mega Lopunny, and provides Healing Wish to provide Roaring Moon a second chance to sweep. Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra provide crucial neutralities to Ice and Fairy, as these deal with Weavile and Meowscarada, and Tapu Lele and Kyurem respectively.

- I think HDB is not a bad item slash considering teams often want kommo-o to run Z and darkinium doesn't really power up knock;
- Would just say Mega Latios instead of AoA.

2/2 good job!
