Noctowl in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Flying Attacker:
Wing Attack
Sky Attack
With poor offensive stats, Noctowl is not a PvE Pokémon. There's absolutely no justification for using it in Raids.
⚔️ Raids
Despite possessing STAB Flying moves, it competes in a mega ruled by Mega Rayquaza, whose damage output exceeds Noctowl’s even when the former is at a low Level.
🛡️ Gyms
On paper, Noctowl's high bulk makes it a good Gym defender. But then, its Normal/Flying type combination makes it take neutral damage from the common Fighting-type Gym attackers, reducing its efficiency in the role.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Wing Attack
Sky Attack
Shadow Ball - Ultra League:
Wing Attack
Shadow Ball
Sky Attack
🔵 Great League
Noctowl is decent in the Great League, taking down a handful of targets thanks to its bulky presence and coverage. Beating beefy Pokémon like Azumarill, Galarian Corsola, and Dusclops is definitely appreciated!
🟡 Ultra League
Noctowl has an inadequate CP for the Ultra League and as such, is powerless against the majority of this format’s meta.
