Noibat

Template:PokémonPrevNext/Disambig

**Noibat** (Japanese: **オンバット** *Onbat*) is a dual-type {{Flying}}/{{Dragon}} Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves into Noivern starting at level 48.

## Biology

Noibat is a lavender bat-like Pokémon. It has two clawed fingers on each wing and two long toes on each foot. Noibat's hips and chest are covered in black fur. It has large yellow eyes, two purple teardrop-shaped spots on the front of its face, and large teardrop-shaped ears that resemble loudspeakers. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its lower jaw.

Noibat is capable of emitting ultrasonic waves of 200,000 Hertz from its ears, which it can use to stun large creatures, immobilize prey, and determine the ripeness of fruit it enjoys eating. It also uses ultrasonic waves as a means to communicate with other Noibat.

## Trivia

* Noibat has the lowest base stat total of all Dragon Pokémon.
	+ In addition, Noibat has the lowest base HP and Attack stats of any Dragon-type Pokémon, and ties with Goomy for having the lowest base Defense among all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Noibat's German name, eF-eM, is the only Pokémon name that uses the Latin alphabet and does not start with a capital letter.
* Noibat and its evolution, Noivern, are the only dual Flying Pokémon to have Flying as their primary type.
* Originally, Noibat's Pokédex entry on the official Pokémon website was incorrect, showing it as a pure Flying Pokémon. It has been since rectified.
* Noibat can be seen as a parallel to Zubat, as they are both Flying Pokémon based on bats and can have Infiltrator as a possible Ability.

### Origin

Noibat may be based on a bat, and the design of its ears may be based on speakers.

#### Name origin

Noibat is a combination of *noise* and *bat*.

Onbat may be a combination of 音 *on* (sound), 音波 *onpa* (sound wave), and バット *bat*.
