Contents

Effect

Generation I

Roar will never affect the opponent during a trainer battle.

In-game, Roar can be used to automatically end wild Pokémon battles.

Generation II and on

When used against a wild Pokémon, Roar will make it flee, ending the battle.

In a 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.

Roar will fail when used against Pokémon with the abilities Soundproof and Suction Cups.
