Flavor Text

: Fruits are its favorite foods. This gourmet carefully picks out just the ripe ones using its sonar.
: It flies around in search of fruit to eat. It uses ultrasonic waves to detect which fruits are ripe.

: After nightfall, they emerge from the caves they nest in during the day. Using their ultrasonic waves, they go on the hunt for ripened fruit.
: No wavelength of sound is beyond Noibat’s ability to produce. The ultrasonic waves it generates can overcome much larger Pokémon.
