Flavor/Design: Alolan Noivern is large and pudgy, standing roughly 1.9m tall and weighing approximately 108kg. Its fur is a bright neon/lime green, and it adorns its pelt with the skulls of its prey. It has a thin double-ridge of bone on its snout that reaches from one brow to the other, and from the base of this ridge and back down Alolan Noivern's spine there is a large crest of rigid hair. Alolan Noivern has large claws on its hands and feet, and it has two large horns akin to those of an ox location at its temples. Alolan Noivern shed their horns once per year, growing a new pair after a month, and lose claw casings twice yearly. Alolan Noivern is incapable of flight due to its large stature, but it is capable of gliding, and has a semi-transparent black second eyelid over its eye sockets which it closes while midair to block out excess wind. Alolan Noivern love music, and they are constantly emitting sounds akin to classic rock from their ears; while this tune is normally rather quiet, when Alolan Noivern become excited the music increases to a near-deafening level. They wear a large, open mouth smile on their face while listening to their favorite music, and their large tongues absentmindedly lolls out of one corner of their mouths. Alolan Noivern's large tail acts as a metronome, and it waves it back and forth to keep time with any tune. Alolan Noivern mark their territory by carving rocks with their large claws, sometimes, and unintentionally, resulting in beautiful murals across the area. Alolan Noivern are dull but incredibly crafty, and they can imitate any sound they hear. They use this ability to lure prey into their reach; the last thing that smaller Pokemon that enter an Alolan Noivern's territory hear is an abrupt and terrifying shift to rock-n-roll music. Alolan Noivern also use their ingenuity to escape danger; they can sense the perfect time to leave any confrontation, be it social or dangerous in nature, and do so while crudely imitating human speak. Alolan Noivern acts in a manner that would be considered very immature and arrogant for a person, and this is demonstrated the clearest by the manner it decorates its dwelling. Alolan Noivern adores making objects in its own image, and the lair of an elder member of its species will feature countless rocks, skeletons, egg shells, and other random on trinkets and knickknacks dropped by tourists, all adorned with previous years' horns, arranged so the objects appear to have grown the protrusions themselves.
Concept: Alolan Noivern is based off of 70's punk, fashion, and musical trends.
Competitive Corner: Alolan Noivern is a fast and strong physical attacker that has middling bulk. It has immediate value as a lead due to its vast support movepool and aforementioned offensive stats, and can also be used as an effective pivot or revenge killer thanks to its stellar abilities. Alolan Noivern can also be used as a bulky pivot thanks to Intimidate, and can utilize this bulk to support the team with Spikes or set a boost or two to attempt a sweep. Overall, Alolan Noivern has many enticing attributes about it which makes it seem very strong, but it is balanced by its low-powered coverage options, middling bulk without Intimidate, lack of reliable options to boost its stats, and weakness to common (priority) attacking types.
