Roaring Moon (Japanese: トドロクツキ Todorokutsuki) is a dual-type Dragon/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it appears to be an ancient relative of Salamence.

It is a Paradox Pokémon.

Biology

Roaring Moon is a quadrupedal, draconic Pokémon with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a red underside with 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. 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 rests very large red wings that begin with a three-pronged yellow pattern on both sides, that then curl upward into a crescent moon-like shape, with feather-like protrusions on the ends. Below its wings is a jagged cape-like structure with a black underside.
