How to get Paradox Form Roaring Moon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Roaring Moon is an Ancient Form Pokemon that can only be caught in Scarlet. Players can find it in The Great Crater of Paldea (Area Zero).
Roaring Moon is a Dragon/Dark type, and players will find it fully evolved when they encounter it. Trainers with copies of Violet can catch this Pokemon by entering Co-op Mode with another player possessing Scarlet or by trading with someone who has already caught the Paradox Form.
More than one Roaring Moon can be caught per game, unlike Legendary species.
