Roar (Japanese: ほえる Roar) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Roar can be used to automatically end wild Pokémon battles. However, it has no effect in a Trainer battle.

Generation II

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. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation I.

Generation III and on

Roar will fail when used against Pokémon with the abilities Soundproof and Suction Cups or under the effects of Ingrain. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation II.
