Noibat
Say it: NOI-ba-t
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Noibat is the Sound Wave Pokémon — Flying and Dragon before Noivern. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Noivern — not a finished raid attacker. Flying/Dragon hits Grass, Bug, and Fighting well; Ice hits it for 4×; Fairy, Rock, Dragon, and Electric punish it. Catch Noibat from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Noibat (#714) is a Flying / Dragon Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Noivern. Trainers almost never power Noibat for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Noivern. Against Noibat, lead with Ice (best), or Fairy, Rock, Dragon, or Electric. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
