Noibat’s Pokedex entry also mentions that it appears at night, so you’re most likely to encounter one during the evening or nighttime in Paldea. You may even be able to sneak up on one while it’s sneaking and surprise it by initiating a battle to get the upper hand. Once you locate a Noibat, you can follow your usual capture process, and the little guy should be yours before you know it.

How to Evolve Noibat into Noivern Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Luckily, evolving Noibat into Noivern is a straightforward process in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. All you’ll need to do is raise your Noibat until it reaches level 48. It will then automatically trigger the evolution process and evolve into Noivern. If you’re looking to level up Noibat quickly, farming M, L, or XL EXP Candy from Terra Raids is recommended, as this is one of the easiest methods to provide significant EXP boosts to your Pokemon.
