Roar

NormalStatus

In the wild, Roar causes the target Pokémon to flee if they are of a lower level, and the battle ends. In trainer battles (including linked battles), Roar forces the target to switch out of battle (regardless of level) and is replaced with another Pokémon in the trainer's team. Pokémon with the abilities Soundproof or Suction Cups or those rooted by Ingrain are not affected by Roar.
