Noivern sits at 0.24% usage in singles, ranked 124th, making it a fringe pick that appears only occasionally. Nearly every recorded set runs Frisk with White Herb as a dedicated Dragon Dance cleaner, and 123 base speed lets it get the jump on most of the unboosted metagame. Ground immunity keeps it safe from one of the most common coverage types, but its Ice, Rock, Dragon, and Fairy weaknesses give any surviving opponent a clear answer.
Playstyle:The four-move core is Draco Meteor, Taunt, Hurricane, and Tailwind, together accounting for over 90% of selections. Draco Meteor is the primary damage source, Taunt shuts down utility responses, and Hurricane extends the coverage. Frisk at 82.1% almost always pairs with White Herb at 82%, which removes the Special Attack drop from Draco Meteor and lets Noivern keep firing at full strength. The 11% Infiltrator and 6.9% Dragon Fang sets are minority options, bypassing Reflect and Light Screen or amplifying Dragon-type damage respectively. Spreads are uniformly Timid with 32 Special Attack and 32 Speed. Life Orb at 10.8% is the minority alternative, trading the White Herb recovery for a 1.3x damage boost. Frequent partners are Bellibolt, Mega Blaziken, Basculegion, Glimmora, and Diggersby, each sitting around 16% pairing rate.
In doubles, Noivern holds 0.10% usage at rank 187, with sparse appearances. The core is Tailwind and Draco Meteor, each around 23%, paired with Protect, showing its role as both a speed controller and a Dragon-type attacker. Ground immunity combined with Focus Sash at 66.5% gives it a reliable one-time survival. Its 123 base speed is unremarkable in the double battle speed pool, so Tailwind setup or partner support is required to act with confidence.
Playstyle:Move selection is more varied than in singles: Tailwind and Draco Meteor lead jointly, Protect at 13% keeps it safe, Dragon Cheer at 5.4% boosts allied Dragon and Normal moves, and Air Slash at 9.4% adds flinch control and Flying coverage. Items are dominated by Focus Sash at 66.5%, with Expert Belt at 17.8% chosen to amplify non-STAB coverage. Abilities split across Frisk 46.5%, Infiltrator 28.1%, and Telepathy 25.4%, the latter preventing friendly fire from Psychic partners, which is especially valuable in doubles. Spreads are uniformly Timid, investing in Special Attack and Speed.
