From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Roost (Japanese: はねやすめ Feather Rest) is a non-damaging Flying-type move introduced in Generation IV. It was TM51 in Generation IV and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, TM19 from Generation VI to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and TM50 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
Effect
Generation IV
Roost restores up to 50% of the user's maximum HP, rounded down.
If a Flying-type Pokémon successfully uses Roost, until the end of the turn, its Flying type is ignored when it is hit by attacks. If the Pokémon has another type, only that type is considered; if the Pokémon is a pure Flying type, all attacks will be normally effective against it.
Generation V to VII
Roost now restores 50% of the user's maximum HP, rounded up.
If a Flying-type Pokémon successfully uses Roost, it will now lose its Flying type until the end of the turn:
- If a pure Flying-type Pokémon successfully uses Roost, it will become Normal-type until the end of the turn. If a Pokémon is a Fire/Flying type that lost its Fire type due to Burn Up, using Roost causes it to become typeless until the end of the turn.
- If a Pokémon with another type besides Flying uses Roost, it will lose its Flying type until the end of the turn (but will not have it replaced with the Normal type).
- If a pure Flying-type Pokémon that has been affected by Forest's Curse or Trick-or-Treat successfully uses Roost, its Flying type will be replaced by Normal, in addition to retaining its Grass or Ghost type addition.
If a Pokémon is ungrounded only due to its Flying type, successfully using Roost will make it grounded until the end of the turn (and therefore susceptible to effects such as terrain and Rototiller).
If powered up by a Flyinium Z into Z-Roost, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
