Roaring Moon (Japanese: トドロクツキ Todorokutsuki) is a dual-type Dragon/Dark Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of Salamence.
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 blue-tipped feather-like protrusions on the ends. Below its wings is a jagged cape-like structure with a black underside.
According to a paranormal magazine, presumably "Occulture", Roaring Moon may have a connection to Mega Evolution, due to its resemblance to Mega Salamence. Roaring Moon is capable of moving at high speed while searching for prey, scattering feathers in the process. It is believed to have a much more savage nature than even Salamence. As a result, humans must avoid contact should one encountered Roaring Moon.

Trivia
- Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant can be considered counterparts of one another.
- They are the only Paradox Pokémon with a base stat total of 590 rather than 570.
- They are both the highest-leveled and the only Pokémon on their team with the held item Booster Energy used by Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV in the first battle against them.
- Both are based on a Mega Evolved Pokémon.
- Both are separated from the other Paradox Pokémon in Paldea Pokédex numbering.
Origin
As a prehistoric variation of Salamence, Roaring Moon appears to be based on a European dragon. Like with Mega Salamence, the shape of its wings resembles a crescent moon. Its feathers are similar to those of feathered dinosaurs.
Name origin
Roaring Moon is literally roaring moon.
Todorokutsuki can be taken literally as 轟く月 todoroku tsuki (roaring moon).
