Roaring moon is kinda strong. Not as strong as ursaluna is tho.


(this is assuming that ursaluna is already burnt from a previous entry, otherwise ursaluna doesn’t actually win this matchup thanks to knock off)

A counter should win in 100% of situations, not if X condition had already happened, so I'm afraid this isn't a valid submission. Thank you for trying anyway though.

Apparently bulky physically biased Ice types are quite good at killing RM (idk who would run Avalanche Glas)

Roaring Moon can win if it predicts Mandibuzz's Tera, so this isn't valid as a submission as a counter since a counter must win regardless of Tera predictions. CB Dragapult is plenty fine as a check though.

+1 252 Atk Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 248 HP / 244+ Def Mandibuzz: 172-203 (40.6 - 47.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
+1 252 Atk Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 248 HP / 244+ Def Tera Steel Mandibuzz: 228-268 (53.9 - 63.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+1 252 Atk Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 248 HP / 244+ Def Tera Steel Mandibuzz: 86-101 (20.3 - 23.8%) -- guaranteed 5HKO
+1 252 Atk Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 244+ Def Tera Steel Mandibuzz: 314-370 (74.2 - 87.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

As you can see, the roll is actually favourable for the Roaring Moon user with an Acrobatics into Knock Off, let alone Earthquake, if the Mandibuzz Tera Steels on the second turn. And of course, if you Tera on the first turn Mandibuzz is active on the field, Roaring Moon can also win.

tera or not, roaring moon is always susceptable to ice moves, this would be a counter if knocking off band wasnt so bad. on matter what. ice shard is a guaranteed 2hko.

roaring moons strongest move, teraflying acro never ohkoes.

if you are worried about it being +1 or more from ddance, tera-ice ice shard is a guaranteed ohko.

just press ice shard and kill, and if it has any attack boost, tera ice for the guarantee
