Roaring Moon

Roaring Moon is the fastest non-Prankster Dark-type user of Taunt and Tailwind in the entire meta, giving it a niche as a fast speed control team supporter and disruptor that takes advantage of opposing Pranksters. Roaring Moon can also aptly use Roar to phaze out Belly Drummers, Steel Beamers, and more. Depending on if you play Roaring Moon as a hit-and-run speed controller or a stay-and-Taunt disruptor, Black Sludge or Toxic Orb lets Roaring Moon KO itself faster on average. A Timid nature makes Roaring Moon's Struggle weaker just in case it gets Taunted, while a Hasty nature makes it take more damage from opposing Struggle. Tera Ghost lets Roaring Moon escape trappers, while Tera Ice makes it weak to both Steel Beam and Stealth Rock.
