Beyond the Ball 235 - Noibat

Beyond the Ball

Cute bat alert! It's Noibat time which means it's time for us to desperately attempt to understand anything about the the science of sound! How incredible is its control over sound waves? You tell us! Follow along with the entries below:

X: They live in pitch-black caves. Their enormous ears can emit ultrasonic waves of 200,000 hertz.

Y: Even a robust wrestler will become dizzy and unable to stand when exposed to its 200,000-hertz ultrasonic waves.

Ultra Sun: Fruits are its favorite foods. This gourmet carefully picks out just the ripe ones using its sonar.

Ultra Moon: It flies around in search of fruit to eat. It uses ultrasonic waves to detect which fruits are ripe.

Sword: 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.

Shield: No wavelength of sound is beyond Noibat’s ability to produce. The ultrasonic waves it generates can overcome much larger Pokémon.

Scarlet: This Pokémon emits ultrasonic waves from its large ears to search for fruit to eat. It mistakes Applin for its food.

Violet: Noibat can change the frequency of its sound waves at will, and it generates ultrasonic waves of up to 200,000 hertz.

Photodex: Noibat’s ears emit ultrasonic waves that help it perceive its surroundings and fly safely in total darkness. You might also see it using those same waves on fruit to check if it’s ripe.

BTB: A happy little fruit-finder with the best pitch control in the known universe. It prefers fruit but it may not be averse to eating an Applin.
