How To Get TM05 Roar in Pokémon ORAS

TM05 Roar can be obtained by talking to an old man with a Poochyena on Route 114, which is located west of Fallarbor Town. The NPC you’re looking for is accessible with just a few steps into the route.

When you use Roar, the opponent’s Pokémon is replaced by another Pokémon from the trainer’s party. If used against wild Pokémon, the battle immediately ends.

TM05 Location (Step-by-Step)

Since TM05 Roar is located on Route 114, here is what you need to do first:

• Obtain the 3rd Gym Badge from Wattson, Mauville City’s Gym Leader
• Gain access to Fallarbor Town

After you complete the prerequisites, head to Fallarbor Town’s Pokémon Center. Then you can follow the steps below:

Step 1: Start by following the path on the left.

Step 2: Continue heading west along Route 114.

Step 3: Finally, talk to the man standing with the Poochyena.

Roar Move Details

When used against wild Pokémon, Roar ends the battle immediately, even if the opposing Pokémon used the move Mean Look or has the ability Arena Trap.

In Trainer battles, Roar forces an opponent to switch out to a random Pokémon in their party.

It’s primarily used to punish Pokémon who are setting up to sweep, because getting switched out resets any stat boosts they may have had.

However, the biggest downside to Roar is that it has a priority of -6, meaning the user will always go last when using it (regardless of its user’s Speed).

Tip: You can also use Roar to take full advantage of entry hazards, such as Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Stealth Rock. Every time you force a new Pokémon to enter the field, they will keep taking damage from all existing entry hazards.
