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.

The Pokemon CompanyHow to evolve Bagon into Shelgon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players raising Bagon will see it evolve into Shelgon at level 30.
Similar to the mid-stage evolutions of Bug-type Pokemon, Bagon is encased in a hard shell and appears as just feet and a pair of eyes. It isn’t clear why it looks this way, as it still maintains its Dragon typing and evolves into a very dragon-like Second Stage evolution.
How to evolve Shelgon into Salamence in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Pokemon trainers determined to obtain the Pseudo-Legendary Salamence will need to raise Shelgon up to level 50.
Salamence is considered one of the most powerful non-Legendary Pokemon available to catch. With overall stats much higher than many other Pokemon, it is a powerhouse that will deliver crushing attacks on opponents while also enduring hits received during battle.
