Roost or Moonlight for Noivern?

Question

He has decent defenses so giving him a health repairing move seems to be ok. I was just wondering, Roost or Moonlight?

Answer 1

I think on the whole, Roost.

It's not dependant on weather, although weather has been crippled significantly in this generation.

Roost causes Noivern to lose its Flying type, and I think that could be helpful considering that it's very quick and will most likely go first, meaning if you're facing something with, e.g. a Rock move, it could be useful.

Roost also has more PP anyway.

And Roost may arrange its X4 Weakness to Ice.

Yea but it's so frail anyway it'll take more than half damage from a non-STAB Ice Beam even after Roost.

Oh yeah.
