Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Infiltrator
Nature: Modest (+SpA, -Atk)
EVs: 4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Moveset:
- Boomburst / Tailwind
- Hurricane
- Draco Meteor
- Flamethrower
Noivern is a fabulous Special Sweeper for single battles. This moveset is designed to take down the opponent's team with intense special power. Focus Sash helps protect Noivern from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. With Infiltrator, moves ignore substitutes and foe's reflect/light screen/safeguard/mist/aurora veil. With an excellent base 123 speed and also a respectable base 97 special attack, Noivern seems like a good specs user to me. Specs STAB Draco Meteor isn't going to be taken very nicely by alot of Pokemon, and Hurricane is it's secondary STAB to hit more stuff (> Air Slash cause of more power :D). U-turn is to just run away, and it's a nice option on a choiced user and a choice between Flamethrower or Focus Blast can be made to cover steel types.
Abilitywise, Infiltrator stands out to me, as it now allows Noivern to hit through Substitute, making it an even more effective revengekiller.

Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
Dragon moves are bad against Fairy.
Fairy moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fire.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Noivern is: Water, Steel, Fire or Ice
Considering the amount of shared resistances against typings this Pokemon is usually weak to, we also recommend: Steel
We strongly suggest: Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Flying or Dragon ) could also prove beneficial.
Select a Tera-type:
