- With Dragon Dance and Acrobatics, Roaring Moon is a strong sweeper on offensive teams, with coverage to beat almost all Pokemon.
- Tera Flying allows Roaring Moon to set up on Great Tusk and Body Press Corviknight and boosts Acrobatics's power to achieve feats such as OHKOing Toxapex and Ting-Lu after two Dragon Dances and entry hazard or slight chip damage.
- Crunch is more reliable, having a chance to drop Defense with no potential drawback, while Jaw Lock has the potential to give Roaring Moon a free chance to set up when paired with Roost, assuming a favorable target is trapped. If an unfavorable target is trapped, however, it has a major downside, making it less consistent.
- Roost gives Roaring Moon more opportunities to use Dragon Dance, turning weaker Pokemon like Brave Bird Corviknight and Whirpool Alomomola into setup fodder.
- Earthquake hits Kingambit, Garganacl, and Iron Treads, which can otherwise survive hits and wear down Roaring Moon.
- Taunt stops defensive Pokemon like Haze Toxapex, Will-O-Wisp Skeledirge, and Whirlwind Ting-Lu from dealing with Roaring Moon, making it devastating against bulkier teams if positioned right.
- Hyper offense leads such as Glimmora, Froslass, and Grimmsnarl all give Roaring Moon good support to break through a team more easily.
- Choice Scarf Great Tusk, Tera Fire Koraidon, and Tera Fairy Miraidon can all be used to bait Chien-Pao and take it out, helping Roaring Moon greatly, as it is one of the most reliable revenge killers that can be used against it.
- On bulkier teams, Roaring Moon requires teammates that can switch into Ice-type moves from Chien-Pao and Iron Bundle, making Toxapex and specially defensive Corviknight great partners. The latter can also pivot with U-turn, giving Roaring Moon more chances to set up on defensive Pokemon.
