Ability: Aerilate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Boomburst
- U-turn
- Switcheroo
- Roost
Noivern boasts a very powerful Boomburst thanks to Aerilate altering it to be Flying-type. This makes Noivern very difficult to switch into, so the rest of the moveset is made to ensure it gets the chance to use Boomburst often. U-turn allows Noivern to scout for switch-ins like Silvally-Electric, Chansey, and Nihilego and switch to a partner that can threaten them out. Switcheroo allows it to cripple one of its aforementioned switch-ins, allowing itself or a teammate to beat its checks more easily. Chip damage can limit Noivern's time on the field, so Roost ensures that it can heal itself on a predicted switch and continue to break teams. Even though Noivern has very few switch-ins, those Pokemon are often difficult for it to KO. Therefore, options like Primordial Sea Barraskewda, Intimidate Corviknight, and Magic Guard Weavile can help Noivern by bringing it in safely or breaking common switch-ins to it.
