Draco Meteor provides Noivern with tremendous breaking power, though it does allow Fairy-types such as Fezandipiti and Gardevoir safe entry points against it; alternatively, Hurricane can be used to hit these Fairy-types, though it comes at the cost of less immediate power and unreliable accuracy. Flamethrower melts the pesky Steel-types that resist Noivern's STAB attacks, like Jirachi, Magnezone, and Registeel. U-turn can be used to form VoltTurn cores and provide safe pivots into teammates like Galarian Zapdos; Taunt is an alternative move that can stop setup attempts from Pokemon like Reuniclus and Slowbro, recovery attempts, and entry hazard stacking from walls like Gastrodon and Hippowdon. Roost gives Noivern the longevity needed to stick around and dish out damage while checking big threats like Slither Wing and Volcanion. Frisk can be used to scout for items, such as Choice items on Pokemon like Mamoswine and Hisuian Zoroark. Infiltrator allows Noivern to hit Pokemon that use Substitute, such as Raikou and Suicune, to prevent them from using Calm Mind freely. Tera Steel can be used to flip the weakness to Dragon, which helps against Hisuian Goodra and opposing Noivern, while providing valuable resistances to Fairy-type attacks from Fezandipiti and Gardevoir. Tera Fire also provides a Fairy resistance and can bolster the damage of Flamethrower, allowing Noivern to break through Jirachi and Magnezone more effectively. Tera Fairy provides a Dragon immunity, which helps against Cyclizar, Salamence, and opposing Noivern, while maintaining the Bug and Fighting resistances to still check Slither Wing. Tera Fairy also provides a key resistance to Dark-type attacks like Knock Off and Sucker Punch, making matchups into Bisharp and Krookodile more comfortable. Tera Water is a fine pick for Noivern, as it maintains the Fire and Water resistances to check Volcanion while providing an Ice resistance to more effectively deal with Mamoswine.

Offensive pivot Noivern is a great choice on balance and bulky offense teams that need to shore up their matchups into two big threats in the tier, Slither Wing and Volcanion. Teammates like Talonflame and Galarian Weezing are much appreciated, as they can provide entry hazard removal and check physical attackers like Bisharp and Galarian Zapdos, respectively, threatening to burn either with Flame Body or Will-O-Wisp. In return, Noivern can check Volcanion for them. Physical wallbreakers that can use the safe entry points provided by U-turn Noivern, such as Crawdaunt and Mamoswine, are valuable to help break through walls such as Chansey and Hisuian Goodra, making Noivern more imposing with its own strong attacks. Noivern appreciates its own hazard support from teammates like Hippowdon and Jirachi, which can help rack up chip damage while Noivern uses either U-turn to pivot between teammates or Taunt to prevent recovery. Noivern is a great member of VoltTurn cores, partnering with powerful wallbreakers like Magnezone and Slither Wing to keep the opposition from getting comfortable. Steel-type teammates like Empoleon, Jirachi, and Registeel are valuable to check Dragon- and Fairy-types that can threaten Noivern, like Hisuian Goodra, Fezandipiti, and Gardevoir.

Draco Meteor provides Noivern with tremendous breaking power, though it does allow Fairy-types such as Fezandipiti and Gardevoir safe entry points against it; alternatively, Hurricane can be used to hit these Fairy-types, though it comes at the cost of less immediate power and unreliable accuracy. Flamethrower melts the pesky Steel-types that resist Noivern's STAB attacks, like Jirachi, Magnezone, and Registeel. U-turn can be used to provide safe pivots into teammates, notably allowing Noivern to sponge attacks from the powerful Volcanion before giving its partners, This makes it sound like Noivern tanks a hit and then pivots, which doesn't happen because it's faster. If you want to keep an example, you can mention noivern inviting mons like Umbreon and Empoleon before pivoting out like Galarian Zapdos, free entry. Taunt is an alternative move that can stop setup attempts from Pokemon like Reuniclus and Slowbro and prevent recovery attempts and entry hazard stacking from walls like Gastrodon and Hippowdon. Roost gives Noivern the longevity needed to stick around and dish out damage while checking big threats like Slither Wing and Volcanion. Talk about Frisk vs Infiltrator Tera Steel can be used to flip the weakness to Dragon example of dragon attacker while providing valuable resistances to Fairy-type attacks from Fezandipiti and Gardevoir. Tera Fire can bolster the damage of Flamethrower, allowing Noivern to break through Jirachi and Magnezone more effectively it similarly provides a fairy resistance. Tera Fairy provides a Dragon immunity, which helps against Cyclizar, Salamence, and opposing Noivern, while maintaining the Bug and Fighting resistances to still check Slither Wing resistance to Knock is worth mentioning. Tera Water is a fine pick for Noivern as it maintains the Fire and Water resistances to check Volcanion while providing an Ice resistance to more effectively deal with Mamoswine.

Offensive Pivot Noivern is a great choice on balance and bulky offense teams that need to shore up their matchups into two big threats in the tier, Slither Wing and Volcanion. Entry hazard removal from teammates like Talonflame and Galarian Weezing frees up the Defog slot on Noivern, which lets it be more imposing offensively. Talonflame is They are Gweezing is arguably better as a phys check, with bisharp being a rare exception especially valuable to check physical attackers like Bisharp and Galarian Zapdos, respectively, Gapdos always 2hkos talon so respectively fits nicely threatening to burn either with Flame Body or Will-O-Wisp, while Noivern can check Water-types like Barraskewda and Volcanion for it them in return. Physical wallbreakers that can use the safe entry points provided by U-turn Noivern, such as Crawdaunt and Mamoswine, are valuable to help break through walls such as Chansey and Hisuian Goodra, making Noivern more imposing with its own strong attacks. Noivern appreciates its own hazard support from teammates like Hippowdon and Jirachi, which can help rack up chip damage while Noivern uses either U-turn to pivot between teammates or Taunt to prevent recovery. Noivern is a great member of VoltTurn cores, partnering with powerful wallbreakers like Magnezone and Slither Wing to keep the opposition from getting comfortable. Mention that Noivern wants a steel-type like jirachi or empo as a partner for fairy-types and Hoodra

Draco Meteor provides Noivern with tremendous breaking power, though it does allow Fairy-types such as Fezandipiti and Gardevoir safe entry points against it; alternatively, Hurricane can be used to hit these Fairy-types, also mention the benefits of Hurricane not dropping SpA though it comes at the cost of less immediate power and unreliable accuracy. Flamethrower melts the pesky Steel-types that resist Noivern's STAB attacks, like Jirachi, Magnezone, and Registeel. U-turn can be used to form VoltTurn cores and provide safe pivots into teammates like Galarian Zapdos; Taunt is an alternative move that can stop setup attempts from Pokemon like Reuniclus and Slowbro and prevent recovery attempts and entry hazard stacking from walls like Gastrodon and Hippowdon.

Offensive Pivot Noivern is a great choice on balance and bulky offense teams that need to shore up their matchups into two big threats in the tier, Slither Wing and Volcanion. Entry hazard removal from teammates like Talonflame and Galarian Weezing frees up the Defog slot on Noivern, which lets it be more imposing offensively. I feel like this isn't relevant since this isn't a Defog set. Maybe mention how it's useful if Noivern gets Knocked, or cut the whole sentence and reword the next These two are especially valuable to check physical attackers like Bisharp and Galarian Zapdos, respectively, threatening to burn either with Flame Body or Will-O-Wisp, respectively, this reads like Talon doesn't use Wisp while Noivern can check Volcanion for them in return. Physical wallbreakers that can use the safe entry points provided by U-turn Noivern, such as Crawdaunt and Mamoswine, are valuable to help break through walls such as Chansey and Hisuian Goodra, making Noivern more imposing with its own strong attacks.
