Project National Dex - Lure That Threat! - Hiatus

With 4 Votes, YaVR_1 wins this cycle!

Now onto the next round:

Cycle 16: Roaring Moon

:sv/roaring moon:
Roaring Moon @ Dragonium Z
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Outrage

Having recently been freed from Ubers, Roaring Moon has already proven itself to be an offensive powerhouse with its Dragon Dance Z sets being able to break through a lot of teams with ease with a combination of Dragonium Z Outrage and great coverage in Earthquake. Its bulk is nothing to be sniffed at either, with an impressive 105/71/101 spread allowing it to find opportunities to set up relatively easily

How will you lure this threat?

Voting closes on February 24th!​

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Timid Nature
- Weather Ball
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast
- Roost

"Oh man, Roaring Moon is such a good soft-check into Mega Charizard Y! I can finally run balance aga-"

252 SpA Charizard-Mega-Y Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Roaring Moon: 300-354 (85.4 - 100.8%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
 
At +1, this thing is borderline impossible to actually lure without something like scarf pult (hint hint) but i'm nominating hydrapple.

Hydrapple @ Custap Berry
Ability: Sticky Hold
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Endure
- Giga Drain
- Earth Power

sticky hold lets you switch into knock and the typing allows a switch into eq, whereas in a straight 1v1 endure + custap draco allows you to revenge while ignoring the boosts. it loses 10% of the time, but since dpulse and fickle dont kill from full it's the best option im afraid

Simply Goated (Slowking-Galar) @ Fightinium Z

EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 100 SpA / 12 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Focus Blast
- Thunder Wave
- Chilly Reception
- Future Sight

Live then ohko with Fightium Z. Or the moon sets up cause you’re a Glowking and are setup fodder. You could also T-Wave too.

I know that someone already suggested Mega Slowbro. However, this set is quite a bit different so I feel that it is valid

Slowbro-Mega @ Slowbronite
Ability: Shell Armor
Bold Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
- Scald
- Body Press
- Slack Off
- Iron Defense

+2 252 Atk Roaring Moon Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro-Mega: 210-248 (53.2 - 62.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+2 252 Atk Roaring Moon Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro-Mega: 193-228 (48.9 - 57.8%) -- 96.1% chance to 2HKO
+2 252 Atk Roaring Moon Devastating Drake (190 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro-Mega: 306-360 (77.6 - 91.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Def Slowbro-Mega Body Press vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 326-384 (92.8 - 109.4%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO

BP KOs after rocks and has 50% chance to KO straight up; Rmoon can't rlly touch it. If an ID is pulled off, then BP always KOs and Moon can never break though with Slack Off support. Additionally, Scald threatens Burn and can cripple Moon. I enjoy this set as it can pass as normal Slowbro and, if played well, can catch moon offguard with the mega.
 
:iron crown: :iron crown: :iron crown: :iron crown: :iron crown:
Iron Crown @ Focus Sash
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 20 Atk
- Tachyon Cutter
- Future Sight
- Volt Switch
- Metal Burst

Standard offensive pivot Iron Crown, for doing standard offensive pivot Iron Crown things (for the most part). Future sight is there to force roaring moon to switch in and absorb it.

No calcs needed, switch in on a DD or after a KO, and just click metal burst :D
+1 252 Atk Roaring Moon Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Iron Crown: 500-590 (155.7 - 183.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

"500 damage and its gonna be 750 damage back -- send this creature straight back to the depths of ubers!"

Needs some anti-hazard support so a pairing it with strong hazard control and Yzard would be pretty good, considering Rmoon soft checks zard for some offensive teams
