Learn about the Roost move in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It restores 1/2 HP and has a special effect for Flying-type Pokémon in contests.

Move Details:

  • Type: Flying
  • Damage: -
  • Accuracy: 100%
  • PP: 10
  • Category: Other

Effect: When used, Roost restores 1/2 of the maximum HP of the caster. If the Pokémon is a Flying type, then it will turn into the ??? type for 1 turn and can be hit by ground attacks.

Tips
  • Roost is excellent for extending the longevity of your Pokémon in battle by providing consistent HP recovery.
  • Be mindful of the Flying-type transformation; while it allows ground attacks, it might also change type resistances and weaknesses for that turn.
  • In contests, the points gained are tied to the judge's current 'voltage', making its effectiveness variable.
