Noivern Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Modest or Timid

Nature Stat Changes
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack
Timid ↑ Speed, ↓ Attack

Since Noivern is a Fast Special Attacker, it's best Nature is either Modest or Timid to boost its Special Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Mild ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Defense
Rash ↑ Speed, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Noivern either Mild or Rash nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Noivern any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Noivern has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Noivern Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Flamethrower Pokemon Fire Type Icon 8
Dragon Pulse Pokemon Dragon Type Icon 8
Hurricane Pokemon Flying Type Icon 10
Boomburst Pokemon Normal Type Icon 12

We recommend the moves Boomburst, Hurricane, Dragon Pulse, and Flamethrower when using Noivern during the main story.
