Roar of Time inflicts damage and then forces the user to recharge during the next turn. Unless this attack misses, the user will always have to recharge the next turn.
The user will inflict heavy damage on all opposing Pokémon in the room, including the user and any allies if it's confused. The user recharges the next turn if hits successfully.

Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Dialga is available in a Special Mission. At the beginning of the mission, it uses Roar of Time to send the player and Wendy back in time to before the player moved to Chicole Village. If the player fails to capture Dialga within a hidden time limit, Dialga will send them back to the beginning of the mission.
In the anime
Shoots off the indigo beam
Fins on backside extend
Diamond glows
The user shoots a beam of energy from its mouth capable of distorting time.
Dialga's eyes glow orange and the diamond on its chest glows blue. The fins behind it grow larger and Dialga opens its mouth, an indigo ball forming in front of it. It then fires an indigo beam from the ball at the opponent. After the attack has been fired, the fins on its back shrink back to normal size.
Dialga opens its mouth and a bright orb of energy forms inside its mouth. It then lifts its head up in the air and roars loudly. When it does, multiple pillars of energy burst up from the ground all around it. Dialga then warps and distorts time around the opponent, turning back time in the area.
Roar of Time has the highest base power of any Dragon-type move.
Despite the name implying a relation to sound, Roar of Time is not blocked by Soundproof. This is because although the move is initiated by a roar, the roar is not what damages the target.
This is the only signature move that is a variation of Hyper Beam.
