Noivern

Noivern is a solid anti-meta pick thanks to its great speed with Taunt and Defog. These allow Noivern to outspeed both Dug and Cinderace to prevent them from setting up, and even if they were, Noivern has a nice SR weakness and fits Defog fine. Tailwind provides good speed support for Goth or Charizard, while Whirlwind with Toxic Orb allows Noiv to fish for the right MU as well as phase Imprison mons. It has to be weary of Prankster or speed boosted Tricks, as it has no out for itself otherwise, but at least has a Timid nature for minimum Struggle damage if Taunted.
