Roost (Japanese: はねやすめ Feather Rest) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Roost restores half of the user's maximum HP. If the user is a Template:Type2, it will lose its Flying-type (thus being treated as a single-type Pokémon) until the next turn. If a non-Flying-type uses Roost, then there are no additional side-effects.

Generation IV

If a Pokémon that has become a pure Flying-type uses Roost, it will become a ???-type Pokémon until the end of the turn.

Generation V

If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, it will become Normal-type until the end of the turn.
