252+ SpA Life Orb (custom) Draco Meteor vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Vaporeon: 278-329 (60.04 - 71.05%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Life Orb Noivern Dragon Pulse vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Vaporeon: 169-200 (36.5 - 43.19%) -- 99.15% chance to 3HKO
252+ SpA Life Orb Noivern Boomburst vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Vaporeon: 186-220 (40.17 - 47.51%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
So ya, Boomburst is slightly better than it in that situation. Still not sure if I feel it is worth it, but the difference is greater than I thought. Either way I still don't think its worth running BOTH of them.
