Noivern's main role on Flying teams comes from its presence as a great revenge killer that is particularly good for outspeeding Dragon-type Pokemon such as Dracovish, Choice Specs Dragapult, and Duraludon and beating them with Draco Meteor. Alongside hitting Dragon-type Pokemon for super effective damage, Draco Meteor also hits neutral targets such as Pelipper, Charizard, Cloyster, and Gengar hard. Hurricane allows Noivern to revenge kill Keldeo as well as hit Fairy-type Pokemon such as Hatterene and Mimikyu that are immune to Draco Meteor. U-turn generates momentum against Pokemon that Noivern can't beat such as Steel-type Pokemon like Jirachi and bulky Pokemon such as Tyranitar and against forced switches. Switcheroo cripples defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Snorlax, Corviknight, Hippowdon, and SubToxic Aegislash by locking them into one attack. The HP investment allows Noivern to always avoid the OHKO from Adamant Cloyster's Ice Shard, as well as letting it switch into Choice Specs Dragapult's Thunderbolt more comfortably, while still having enough Speed to outspeed common Choice Scarf users like Gengar, Terrakion, and Charizard. Infiltrator is particularly good for ignoring Aurora Veil and screens from Pokemon such as Alolan Ninetales and Duraludon, as well as for hitting Pokemon such as Whimsicott, Hydreigon, and Salazzle behind a Substitute, improving Noivern's revenge killing capabilities.

Choice Specs Charizard is a great teammate for Noivern, as it can beat Steel-type Pokemon such as Aegislash, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight that Noivern struggles against, as well as break walls such as Toxapex and Tyranitar. In return, Noivern can outspeed and revenge kill Dragon-type Pokemon such as Choice Specs Dragapult and Choice Scarf Dracovish Charizard has trouble with. Corviknight can use Defog to remove Stealth Rock to keep Noivern healthy and bring it in safely in the Dragon matchup with U-turn, as well as being able to switch into Ice- and Fairy-type attacks such as Weavile's Icicle Crash and Gardevoir's Moonblast. Alternatively, its access to Taunt and Bulk Up allows it to beat defensive Pokemon such as Tyranitar, Snorlax, and Aegislash. Togekiss can switch into Choice Scarf Dragapult, which would otherwise outspeed Noivern and beat it with Draco Meteor, as well as break down bulky defensive walls like Toxapex, Galarian Corsola, and Ferrothorn with Nasty Plot. In return, Noivern can revenge kill faster Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Dracovish, Choice Specs Dragapult and Arcanine that give Corviknight and Togekiss trouble.

Budget Choice Scarf Dragapult is ready

 

[maroon]

slight nitpick but you should move switcheroo to move#4 since it is not an attack, set looks better this way.

Alongside hitting Dragon-type Pokemon for super-effective damage, Draco Meteor also hits neutral targets such as Pelipper, Charizard, and Gengar hard.
- would also add cloyster given the ev spread is designed around it

Switcheroo cripples defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Snorlax, Corviknight, and SubToxic Aegislash by locking them into one attack.
- would also add hippowdon here

Charizard is a great teammate for Noivern as it can beat Steel-type Pokemon such as Excadrill, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight that Noivern struggles against. In return, Noivern can outspeed and revenge kill Dragon-type Pokemon such as Kyurem-B, Choice Specs Dragapult, and Choice Scarf Dracovish Charizard has trouble OHKOing.
- are you talking about specs zard here, would def use that as the main example w/ scarf noivern on the team esp since flying doesnt have sun support. meaning things like scarf vish ohkoes zard b4 it attacks and should be removed as an example

They both form a good offensive core, as they are both Choice Scarf users that can work together to cover each others weaknesses and overwhelm shared checks such as x.
- list an example here

Corviknight's access to Taunt and Bulk Up allows it to beat defensive Pokemon such as Tyranitar, Snorlax, and Aegislash, while being able to switch into Fairy- and Ice-type attacks such as Gardevoir's Moonblast and Mamoswine's Ice Shard. Alternatively, it can also use Defog to remove Stealth Rock to keep Noivern healthy and bring it in safely in the Dragon matchup with U-turn.
- would talk about defog set here first since noivern isnt the removal here anymore and i feel like thats super important for noivern given its set and typing

Togekiss can switch into Choice Scarf Dragapult, which would otherwise outspeed and beat Noivern with Draco Meteor, as well as break down bulky defensive walls like Toxapex, Galarian Corsola, and Ferrothorn with Nasty Plot. In return, Noivern can revenge kill faster Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Dracovish, Choice Specs Dragapult, Arcanine, and Kyurem-B that give Corviknight and Togekiss trouble.
- added scrf to the vish example because otherwise togekiss outspeed it here then beating it and would make tht example wrong

QC 1/2

 

[mushamu]

Did this ready for check 2

 

[Kev]

- remove Kyurem-B mentions
- Excadrill is a bit iffy of an example because Choice Specs Charizard would lose to the Choice Scarf set, I think Corviknight's ability to handle that should be brought up

QC 2/2

Noivern's main role on Flying teams comes from its presence as a great revenge killer, and that is particularly good for outspeeding and beating Dragon-type Pokemon such as Dracovish, Choice Specs Dragapult, and Duraludon and beating them with Draco Meteor. Alongside hitting Dragon-type Pokemon for super effective (RH) damage, Draco Meteor also hits neutral targets such as Pelipper, Charizard, Cloyster, (AC) and Gengar hard. Hurricane allows Noivern to revenge kill Keldeo (RC) as well as hit Fairy-type Pokemon such as Hatterene and Mimikyu that are immune to Draco Meteor. U-turn generates momentum against Pokemon that Noivern can't beat such as Steel-type Pokemon like Jirachi (RC) and bulky Pokemon such as Tyranitar (RC) and against forced switches. Switcheroo cripples defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Snorlax, Corviknight, Hippowdon, (AC) and SubToxic Aegislash by locking them into one attack. The HP investments allow investment allows Noivern to always avoid the OHKO from Adamant Cloyster's Ice Shard, as well as letting it switch into Choice Specs Dragapult's Thunderbolt more comfortably, while still having enough Speed to outspeed common Choice Scarf users like Gengar, Terrakion, and Charizard. Infiltrator is the ability of choice as it is particularly good for ignoring Aurora Veil and screens from Pokemon such as Alolan Ninetales and Duraludon respectively, as well as for hitting Pokemon such as Whimsicott, Hydreigon, and Salazzle behind a Substitute, improving Noivern's revenge killing capabilities.

Choice Specs Charizard is a great teammate for Noivern, (AC) as it can beat Steel-type Pokemon such as Aegislash, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight that Noivern struggles against, as well as break walls such as Toxapex and Tyranitar.
