[SET COMMENTS]
No matter which of Choice Band or Choice Scarf you decide to use, rest assured: Roaring Moon will be able to blast holes in the enemy team. A high Attack combined with the power of Sword of Ruin as well as a good Speed tier allows it to function as a potent wallbreaker or revenge killer, depending on your choice of item. Earthquake and Stone Edge allow Roaring Moon to hit Steel-types such as Heatran and Fairy-types such as Enamorus-T, which resists both of its STAB moves, respectively. Lash Out is a good option to punish Intimidate Corviknight. Choice Scarf allows Roaring Moon to act as excellent speed control, outspeeding and revenge killing threats like Azelf and Deoxys-S, while Choice Band lets it OHKO Unaware Deoxys-D and Galarian Zapdos. Roaring Moon struggles against Fluffy Corviknight and defensive Great Tusk, so partners such as Azelf and Gouging Fire are appreciated; in return, it can threaten their checks like Gholdengo and Walking Wake.

No matter which of Choice Band or Choice Scarf you decide to use, rest assured: Roaring Moon will be able to blast holes in the enemy team. A high Attack combined to the power of Sword of Ruin as well as a good Speed tier allows it to destroy teams, making Roaring Moon a potent threat. Lash Out is the preferred option while using Choice Band to deal with Intimidate Corviknight; other coverage options such as Earthquake and Stone Edge are preferred when using Choice Scarf to deal with foes such as Heatran or Enamorus-T. for the previous two sentences, there isn't really a "preferred" move, to be blunt these are just filler moves for its 4th moveslot. thus, explain eq --> explain sedge --> explain lash out (fwiw it doesnt "deal" with intim corv, it just punishes corv harder) Choice Scarf allows Roaring Moon to outspeed Azelf act as excellent speed control, outspeeding and revenge killing threats like Azelf, 1-2 threats of your choice here (examples would be Barraskewda, Scarf Walking Wake, Deoxys-S, etc) Roaring Moon struggles against Fluffy Corviknight and defensive Great Tusk, so partners such as Azelf and Gouging Fire are appreciated. In return, Roaring Moon has an easier time tearing through the enemy team, giving teammates that can benefit from it more setup opportunities to clean up late game.

No matter which of Choice Band or Choice Scarf you decide to use, rest assured: Roaring Moon will be able to blast holes in the enemy team. A high Attack combined to the power of Sword of Ruin as well as a good Speed tier allow it to destroy teams, making Roaring Moon a potent threat. these 2 sentences don't really tell me a lot and have a lot of fluff; what roles can it perform? Earthquake and Stone Edge are good coverage options, allowing Roaring Moon to hit Steel-types such as Heatran for super effective damage as well as Fairy-types such as Enamorus-T, which resist both of its STAB moves. Lash Out is a good option when using Choice Band to punish Intimidate Corviknight doing 40-47 on the switch with scarf is still pretty nice. Choice Scarf allows Roaring Moon to act as excellent speed control, outspeeding and revenge killing threats like Azelf and Deoxys-S. what does choice band do? what calcs for example Roaring Moon struggles against Fluffy Corviknight and defensive Great Tusk, so partners such as Azelf and Gouging Fire are appreciated.(RP);(ASC) in return, Roaring Moon can threaten their checks like Gholdengo and Walking Wake, respectively. In return, Roaring Moon has an easier time tearing through the enemy team, giving teammates that can benefit from it more setup opportunities to clean up late game. this is already implied

Earthquake and Stone Edge are good coverage options, allowing allow Roaring Moon to hit Steel-types such as Heatran for super effective damage as well as and Fairy-types such as Enamorus-T, which resist resists both of its STAB moves, (comma) respectively. (unless you mean Earthquake also hits Fairy-types? In which case something like "Earthquake hits Steel-types such as Heatran and Fairy-types like Scream Tail [or whatever's relevant], while Stone Edge hits Fairy-types such as Enamorus-T, which resists both of Roaring Moon's STAB moves" should work) Lash Out is a good option to punish Intimidate Corviknight. Choice Scarf allows Roaring Moon to act as excellent speed control, outspeeding and revenge killing threats like Azelf and Deoxys-S, while Choice Band lets it OHKO Unaware Deoxys-D and Galarian Zapdos. Roaring Moon struggles against Fluffy Corviknight and defensive Great Tusk, so partners such as Azelf and Gouging Fire are appreciated; in return, Roaring Moon it can threaten their checks like Gholdengo and Walking Wake, (comma) respectively. (respectively doesn't really work here, and I don't think matching these checks is really important to Roaring Moon anyway)
