Strategy Overview

Noibat is the only decent user of Infiltrator, carries a good movepool, and has good resistances to Fighting-, Water-, and Fire-type moves that may make it seem good to use. However, it is awful due to its mediocre stats, as it struggles to do good damage to Pokemon even with Life Orb and cannot easily live attacks because of its poor bulk. It is outclassed by other Flying-types like Vullaby and Doduo because of their better attacking stats, bulk, and Speed that allow them to contribute to the team in ways that Noibat cannot.
