Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Roaring Moon is a dragon/dark-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 590 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 119) and a physical attacking profile. Its Protosynthesis ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Roaring Moon. Build around what Roaring Moon actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
