[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Band Roaring Moon is a fierce wallbreaker that dents large holes in balance teams and has specific coverage to beat its would-be checks. Strong Jaw-boosted Fire Fang threatens Zamazenta-C and Fluffy Corviknight attempting to tank Crunch while Thunder Fang OHKOes Galarian Zapdos and 2HKOes defensive Quaquaval. U-turn allows it to maintain momentum in the face of hard counters like Hippowdon and a healthy Corviknight while also being a midground option for predicted switch-ins. An Adamant nature gives Roaring Moon a chance of OHKOing Hisuian Goodra and is guaranteed to 2HKO Corviknight and Quaquaval, while a Jolly nature allows it to outspeed and threaten Azelf and Iron Moth. Roaring Moon pairs well with other physical wallbreakers like Swords Dance Chien-Pao and Meowscarada that can clean up teams after checks like Zamazenta-C and Quaquaval have been removed. Pivots like Zapdos, Regieleki, and Hisuian Electrode form a VoltTurn core with Roaring Moon that wears down each other's checks. Roaring Moon's unimpressive physical bulk and weakness-laden typing mean that it is a prime target of revenge killers like Slither Wing and Triage Enamorus-T; walls like Corviknight and Hisuian Goodra pair well with Roaring Moon, as they absorb revenge killing attempts while providing defensive utility that Roaring Moon lacks.
