Crobat (Japanese: クロバット Crobat) is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Golbat by happiness. It is the final form of Zubat.

Biology

Physiology

Crobat has a purple body as opposed to being blue, like its pre-evolutions. Crobat has a stubby pair of feet and has developed a second pair of wings. Crobat's eyes are yellow with red pupils.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Crobat's extra pair of wings allow it to fly much faster than its predecessors. Crobat's wings have also developed a more powerful cutting edge for using Cross Poison and X-Scissor.

Like most fully evolved Pokémon, Crobat can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

Behavior

Habitat

Cave Pokémon

Crobat is a cave-dwelling Pokémon, however it is likely that they flutter outside during the night.

Diet

In the anime

Brock's Crobat

Brock had a Crobat that he originally caught as a Zubat. He eventually gave it to his brother Forrest.

Several Crobat appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One, employed by the followers of the malicious Hunter J.

In the manga

Pokémon Special

In Volume 11, Janine uses a Crobat to fight Suicune, but even her best ninja-based skills fail to defeat the legendary Water-type.

Giovanni is later seen with a Crobat in Volume 24, presumably picked up during his solo training journey.

In the TCG

Main article: Crobat (TCG)

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Crobat only appears as a random trophy.

Trophy information

A Bat Pokémon that evolves from Golbat, Crobat's hind legs have evolved into a second pair of wings, which allows it to fly at great speeds but limits its ability to rest. The affection a Golbat has for its Trainer is vital for the evolution process: if a novice Trainer has a Crobat, it shows that he or she cares for Pokémon well.

Game data

Pokédex entries

Gen	Game	Pokédex entry
II	Gold	It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.
	Silver	The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest.
	Crystal	As a result of its pursuit of faster, yet more silent flight, a new set of wings grew on its hindlegs.
	Stadium 2	It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.
III	Ruby	If this Pokémon is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it's proof that Crobat has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired.
	Sapphire	Crobat sneaks up on its intended prey using wings that barely make a sound. This Pokémon rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings.
	Emerald	Over the course of evolution, its hind legs turned into wings. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop.
	FireRed	The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest.
	LeafGreen	It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.
IV	Diamond	Having four wings enables it to fly faster and more quietly. It turns active when the night comes.
	Pearl	A Pokémon that gained vastly enhanced flying performance by having its legs turn into wings.
	Platinum	Currently unknown
