Questions people ask

Is Noivern good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Noivern has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Noivern?

Is Noivern a good raid attacker?
Noivern ranks #98 of 168 dragon attackers with 10.6 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Noivern be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Noivern is available from evolution, photobomb, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.

Shadow Noivern hits 20% harder and takes 20% more damage. It has no ranked role of its own, so treat it like a normal copy.
