Roar Move Detail
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.
