Roar
NormalSummary
Roar is a Normal-type move with no power and variable accuracy in different games (100% in most cases but can fail under certain conditions). Roar is a status move that forces the target Pokémon to switch out with a randomly selected Pokémon from their team. In wild encounters, it ends the battle. Roar has a priority of -6, meaning it will almost always go last in turn-based moves. Commonly used to disrupt opponents' strategies by phasing out setup sweepers or breaking Baton Pass chains, Roar is a strategic tool in both casual and competitive play. Additionally, it is often used to shuffle opponents' teams and rack up entry hazard damage.
Effect
Switches the target out for another of its trainer's Pokémon selected at random. Wild battles end immediately. Doesn't affect Pokémon with suction cups or under the effect of ingrain.
