Roar can be used to automatically end wild Pokémon battles. It has normal priority, unlike in later generations. Even if a wild Pokémon uses the move, the battle will end. However, it has no effect in a Trainer battle.

Now, when in battle against a Trainer, Roar will force a switch with a randomly chosen Pokémon from the Trainer's party. If there isn't another Pokémon, Roar will fail. It also has a priority of -1. If two Pokémon use Roar at the same time, the faster one will fail and the slower one will switch it out. Otherwise, it is the same as in Generation I.

===Generation III and IV===

Roar will fail when used against Pokémon with the Abilities {{a|Soundproof}} and {{a|Suction Cups}} or rooted by {{m|Ingrain}}. In Generation III, Roar has a priority of -5, which was decreased to -6 in Generation IV. If two Pokémon use Roar at the same time, instead of the faster one failing, the faster one will go first and switch the slower one out. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation II.

Roar no longer works in wild Pokémon battles against targets of an equal or greater level than the user, but can still force higher-leveled opponents to switch in Trainer battles, and can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}} and {{a|Magic Bounce}}.

Roar is now unaffected by [[accuracy]] and [[evasion]]. Roar can now hit a target even if it has used {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}, but will fail if the target is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon====

Roar blows away the opponent in front in a straight line, contrary to the direction it is facing. If it hits a wall, it takes 5 damage. If it hits another Pokémon, both Pokémon take 5 damage.
