Ability | Frisk |
Held Item | Life Orb |
Moveset | ・Draco Meteor ・Hurricane ・Flamethrower ・Solar Beam |
Noivern's great speed and access to many coverage moves make it a great lead. While its Special Attack is a bit lacking, its ability to identify the opposing team's held item gives it utility over other leads and can help ease with predictions.
Draco Meteor and Hurricane are Noivern's strongest attacks and STAB moves, with the latter having a 30% chance to confuse the target.
Flamethrower its its main coverage move and hits Steel-types for super effective damage.
Solar Beam is its last move, hitting bulky Ground and Water-types but is a two-turn move that requires charging before it can fire it off - unless Sunny Day is in effect.
We're using a standard EV spread with full investment in Sp.Atk and Spd so that Noivern hits hard with Draco Meteor. The remaining 4 EVs are invested in HP to round off its bulk.
Frisk is the best Ability for this scouting set, allowing you to see what the opposing Pokemon's held items are.
Life Orb boosts the power of Noivern's moves by 30% at the cost of recoil damage at the end of every turn.
Air Slash | A weaker alternative to Hurricane but has a 30% to cause flinching and works well with Noivern's high speed. |
---|---|
Boomburst | A strong Normal-type move. Becomes Max Strike during Dynamax, lowering the opponent's Speed by 1 stage. |
U-Turn | A pivoting move that allows Noivern to quickly switch out from the battle. |
Tailwind | Can replace Solar Beam. This move doubles Noivern and its team's Speed. |
Taunt | Can replace Solar Beam. This move prevents the opposing Pokemon from using status moves. |
Nature | Timid (+Spd, -Atk) |

Ability | Frisk |
Held Item | Choice Scarf |
Moveset | ・Draco Meteor ・Hurricane ・Flamethrower ・U-Turn |
Although Noivern already has a great Speed stat, there are now new Pokemon that can outspeed it naturally. Choice Scarf remedies this, doubling its Speed and allowing it to surprise its usual checks and counters.
Draco Meteor and Hurricane are Noivern's strongest attacks and STAB moves, with the latter having a 30% chance to confuse the target.
Flamethrower its its main coverage move and hits Steel-types for super effective damage.
U-Turn is its last move and allows Noivern to quickly pivot from the battle when it's facing a Pokemon that it can't hit with its STAB or coverage moves.
We're using a standard EV spread with full investment in Sp.Atk and Spd so that Noivern hits hard with Draco Meteor. The remaining 4 EVs are invested in HP to round off its bulk.
Frisk is the best Ability for this scouting set, allowing you to see what the opposing Pokemon's held items are.
Choice Scarf doubles Noivern's Speed but restricts it to using only the initial move it used at the start of its turn.
Solar Beam | A Grass-type coverage move that hits Water-types for super effective damage. |
---|---|
Boomburst | A strong Normal-type move. Becomes Max Strike during Dynamax, lowering the opponent's Speed by 1 stage. |
Nature | Timid (+Spd, -Atk) |
---|---|
EV Spread | HP 4 / Sp.Atk 252 / Spd 252 |
Final Stat Values | HP 161 / Def. 100 / Sp.Atk 149 / Sp.Def 100 / Spd 192 |
Ability | Frisk |
Held Item | Heavy-Duty Boots |
Moveset | ・Tailwind ・Super Fang ・Taunt ・Draco Meteor |
Noivern's high speed stat, moderate bulk, and access to Tailwind and Taunt support moves make it an excellent lead in doubles. The ability Frisk scouts the opposing Pokemon's held item, allowing you to better predict your opponent's moveset and build.
Tailwind doubles Noivern and its team's speed, allowing slower teammates to potentially outspeed their usual checks and counters. Taunt shuts down opposing support Pokemon, preventing them from using status moves.
Super Fang separates this utility set from other leads, supporting its teammate offensively by halving the opponent's health.
It's last move is Draco Meteor and allows Noivern to threaten or clean up weakened opponents.
We're using a standard EV spread with full investment in Sp.Atk and Spd so that Noivern hits hard with Draco Meteor. The remaining 4 EVs are invested in HP to round off its bulk.
Frisk is the best Ability for this scouting set, allowing you to see what the opposing Pokemon's held items are. In Doubles. this Ability identifies both Pokemon's held items.
Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred held item as it protects Noivern from entry hazards. This allows you to switch out without fear of accumulating damage from Stealth Rock.
Hurricane | A strong, Flying-type STAB move that has a 30% chance to confuse the target. This move has 100% accuracy in rain, making it a good alternative when you're expecting to face Pelipper leads. |
---|---|
Roost | Allows Noivern to heal damage and stay in the field longer without switching out. |
Defog | Allows Noivern to clear entry hazards, Reflect, Light Screen, Aurora Veil, Mist, Safeguard, and Terrain. This move also lowers the target's evasion by 1 stage. |
Shadow Ball | Allows you to hit Ghost-type Pokemon that are immune to Super Fang. |
Frisk allows Noivern to reveal your opponent's held items, helping you to better plan your next move and strategies.
Noivern's high speed stat and access to Tailwind make it a top choice for Doubles lead. It's faster than weather setters such as Torkoal, Hippowdon, and Tyranitar, and speed ties with Choice Scarf Pelipper without needing to hold Choice Scarf!
Noivern seperates itself from other lead Pokemon with Super Fang, giving it some offensive utility in Doubles. Bulkier Pokemon are less likely to set up and face this speedy dragon when it can cut their HP in half with one move!
Noivern's mediocre Special Attack stat means that it usually fills the role of a support-oriented attacker to differentiate it from the likes of Dragapult.
Noivern makes a great lead for offensive-oriented teams, either using its many utility moves or Max Moves to support its team.
Lead / Scout | Physical Attacker | Offensive Pivot |
---|---|---|
Noivern | Buzzwole | Heatran |
Novern fills the role of both lead and scout - using utility moves such as Taunt and Tailwind to support its team, while also identifying the opposing team's held items.
Buzzwole appreciates the speed boost Noivern provides as while it's strong, its base Speed stat means it's easy to outrun. With a speed boost, Buzzwole can potentially knock out its normally faster checks and counters.
Heatran rounds off this team by serving as an offensive pivot. Not only does it threaten Fairy-types that can take advantage of both Noivern and Buzzwole's weakness, it can also spread burns with Lava Plume or trap opponents in Magma Storm.

How to Build an Offensive Team | Best Hyper Offense Team
Utility Lead | Physical Attacker |
---|---|
Noivern | Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style |
Special Attacker | Redirection Support |
Galarian Articuno | Amoonguss |
Noivern's ability to Taunt opposing teams, set up Tailwind, and identify held items with Frisk make it a staple utility lead in balanced Doubles Teams.
Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style, while strong, has a rather mediocre Speed stat. It appreciates Noivern's Tailwind support, allowing it to outspeed its usual counters and use fire off powerful G-Max Rapid Flow against the opposing team.
Galarian Articuno and Amoonguss are this team's back up Pokemon, filling the role of a Special Attacker and Redirection support respectively. Like Urshifu, Galarian Articuno also appreciates the speed boost Noivern provides.
