Noivern (Japanese: オンバーン Onvern) is a dual-type Flying/Dragon Pokémon.

It evolves from Noibat starting at level 48.

Biology

Noivern is a large bat-like Pokemon with enormous ears suited for precise hearing. It has a mane of white fur sprouting around its neck and upper back. Noivern has two black wings lined with a dusky purple, and has maroon grasping claws. A teal membrane fans between its ribcage and wings.

Noivern is extremely combative toward anything that wanders too close to it. It flies through even the darkest nights using ultrasonic waves it emits from its ears.

Noivern appears in the anime episode Celebrating the Hero's Comet! and enjoys eating a spicy Spelon Berry (known as a Nowaki Fruit in Japan)
