So finally, after hours of constant grinding and changing around move sets, adding entirely new pokemon to my team, performing soft resets, and take taking numerous trips to and from Reborn city, I finally beat Noel. I love how metagame strategies were incorporated into his character, but I do believe it pushes the boundaries for how hard a gym leader should be. If you have a powerful steel type, you can beat him. If not, good luck, also you better level your team up to get the max speed, because you will need it.
