Roaring Moon, known in Japanese as トドロクツキ (Todorokutsuki), is a dual-type Dragon/Dark Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX. It bears a striking resemblance to Mega Salamence. Roaring Moon is a quadrupedal, draconic Pokémon with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a red underside and four yellow markings. There are red markings on the underside of its tail, and stripes on the inner surface of its hind legs. Additionally, there are raised white ridges above its eyes, and jagged, light blue spikes protrude from either side of its head. Its mouth features sharp teeth, with a pair of three teeth on the upper jaw and a pair of single teeth in the lower. Each of its legs has three long claws, with its front legs being longer and bulkier, and sporting three protruding scales close to the knees. On its back are large red wings that begin with a three-pronged yellow pattern on both sides, then curl upward into a crescent moon shape which gives the Pokémon its name, with blue-tipped feather-like protrusions on the ends. Below its wings is a jagged cape-like structure with a black underside. Roaring Moon is said to be more savage than Salamence and should be avoided. It is theorized that Roaring Moon is an ancient Pokémon related to Salamence, or even a counterpart from another timeline. It first appeared in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and is exclusive to the Scarlet version, found in Area Zero.
