Strategy Overview

Noibat has very bad overall stats. It reaches 16 Speed with a Timid nature, though, which isn't that bad in Little Cup. It has a unique STAB move combination that consists of Draco Meteor and Hurricane and is resisted only by Steel-types, which Noibat can run Heat Wave to hit. It also has access to Tailwind, which is an interesting support move. It has many resistances thanks to its typing that make up for its poor bulk, and it is immune to Ground-type moves. Finally, Infiltrator has a cool niche when it comes to revenge killing Pokemon that are behind a Substitute.
