Competitive Landscape

Noibat evolves into Noivern at level 48, which is later than most other Pokémon in its evolutionary line. This can put it at a disadvantage when competing against other Pokémon that evolve earlier, as it will have fewer opportunities to learn powerful moves and gain experience.

Value Proposition

However, Noibat has some advantages over other Pokémon that evolve earlier. It has a higher base Special Attack stat than most other Pokémon in its evolutionary line, and it has access to a number of useful moves, such as Air Cutter and Roost. Additionally, its Flying and Dragon typing gives it a wide range of resistances and immunities, making it a versatile Pokémon for battling.
