Noivern
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Noivern is a flying/dragon-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 535 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 123) and a special attacking profile. Its Frisk ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Noivern. Build around what Noivern actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
