Read more ↓Roaring Moon is a Paradox Pokémon, specifically an ancient form of Salamence, introduced in Generation IX with the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games. It is a Dragon/Dark type, reflecting its fierce and primal nature. Its Pokédex entries often describe it as a terrifying entity from a bygone era, with wings that resemble shredded crescent moons and a predatory demeanor. Unlike modern Salamence, which evolves through a clear line from Bagon and Shelgon, Roaring Moon is a standalone Paradox Pokémon, found exclusively in the Great Crater of Paldea, an area rich in temporal anomalies. Its behavior is characterized by extreme aggression and powerful aerial attacks, often seen swooping down on unsuspecting prey. Its diet is presumed to be carnivorous, consistent with its predatory design. In the games, it represents the mysterious and often dangerous past of the Paldea region, offering a glimpse into what Pokémon might have been like in ancient times. Its unique typing and formidable stats make it a challenging opponent and a prized capture for trainers.
