Something to counter Noivern?
My friend and I often battle in USUM, and his Noivern effortlessly rips through my whole team (if his Mega Alakazam is already dead, who usually does that.) Its EVs are random (it’s from his playthrough team,) and I know it has Hurricane, Super Fang, and will have Boomburst, he’s training it to that level. I don’t know the final moveslot, but it could be Roost. Is there any good counter to this Noivern set?

These are moves,Abilitys,Pokemon That can counter noivern
Since these moves are ice type they counter noivern so well as well as these moves being able to take massive damage or one shot that pesky noivern your friend has so I suggest these moves to counter them.
This ability counters noiverns boomburst as in its a really strong move with 100 accuracy and isnt banned. so a Pokemon like kommo - o with a focus sash to survive noiverns hurricane will be a great counter to noivern as in kommo - o gets ice punch or clanging scales and like I said can COUNTER noivern.
Ill Explain Why These Fairy Types Can Counter Noivern So Good With Sylveon it hases good special defense and it can tank those boomburst that your friend can throw at you ant sylveon with 110 sp atk + moonblast very good combo. as well for florges I say florges is more of a wall to counter Noiverns Boomburst or coverage special moves wont do a thing to florges and florges isnt much of an SP attacker so its not gonna do AS much damage to noivern.
I Dont Think this Pokemon is much to counter noivern but if my information is correct mega ray is broken as HECK and with its moves being draco meteor,outrage,dragon claw,pulse are good moves that mega ray counters noivern with
Hope I Help!
