Noivern

Template:PokémonPrevNext/Disambig

**Noivern** (Japanese: **オンバーン** *Onvern*) is a dual-type {{Flying}}/{{Dragon}} Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves from Noibat starting at level 48.

## Biology

Noivern is a large bat-like Pokémon 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. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its lower jaw.

From its ears, Noivern releases ultrasonic waves, which can be strong enough to shatter a large boulder. It uses these waves to freely navigate through darkness, allowing it to easily ambush prey under cover of night. Noivern is known to be extremely combative toward anything that wanders too close to it. It loves eating fruit; thus, approaching it with fruit helps to keep it calm.

## Trivia

* Noivern and its pre-evolution, Noibat, are the only dual Flying Pokémon to have Flying as their primary type.
* Noivern can be seen as a parallel to Crobat. Both are Flying Pokémon based on bats that have Infiltrator as a possible Ability. They have the same base stat total and the same base HP, Defense, and Special Defense.

### Origin

Noivern seems to be based on a combination of wyvern, a fruit bat or a leaf-nosed bat, and loudspeaker or tweeter. Inspiration for its design may also have been drawn from gargoyles.

#### Name origin

Noivern may be a combination of *noise* and *wyvern*.

Onvern may be a combination of 音 *on* (sound), 音波 *onpa* (sound wave), and ワイバーン *wyvern*.
