Read more ↓Noibat is a dual-type Flying/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. Known as the Sound Wave Pokémon, it navigates dark caves using ultrasonic waves emitted from its large, sensitive ears. These powerful sound waves are also its primary method of attack, capable of disorienting foes. Noibat typically dwells in dark, cavernous environments where its echolocation abilities are most effective. It feeds on fruits, which it locates using its precise sonar. As a relatively small and nocturnal Pokémon, Noibat is often seen hanging upside down from cave ceilings. It evolves into Noivern, a much larger and more powerful Dragon/Flying type, at level 48. In the Pokémon games, Noibat is a valuable early-game Dragon-type, offering unique strategic options. In the anime, Ash Ketchum famously caught a Noibat, which later evolved into a Noivern, becoming a strong member of his team. Its design, resembling a bat with large, distinctive ears, has made it a popular Pokémon among fans, symbolizing both cuteness and hidden power. Its type combination of Flying and Dragon gives it a unique set of resistances and weaknesses, making it an interesting addition to many teams, particularly vulnerable to Ice-type attacks but resistant to others.
