Crobat (Japanese: クロバット Crobat) is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Golbat via 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
Crobat is a cave-dwelling Pokémon, however it is likely that they flutter outside during the night.

Pokémon Adventures

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

Other appearances
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.

Trivia
- Despite the fact that the Pokédex information says that Crobat's rear legs and rear wings are the same body part, Crobat clearly has a set of feet and legs distinct from its hind wings depicted in the rear sprites in Generation III, as well as in the anime, TCG, and 3D games. However, the footprint in the Pokédex for Crobat is blank.
- Crobat is in all regional Pokédexes except the Kanto Pokédex, due to the fact that it wasn't introduced until Generation II.
- To date, every villainous team in the main series of games have had at least one of their members use Crobat and/or one its evolutionary family. The head of all villainous teams aside from Team Rocket uses one in their final battle with the player.
- Since its debut in Generation II, Crobat's color scheme has been Golbat's color scheme, inverted. This also applies to its shiny variation.
- Crobat is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of a previous generation.
- In recent 3-D games, it is revealed that Crobat has teeth only in its lower jaw.
- Crobat and its pre-evolutions are the only Pokémon to have three double resistances.
- Crobat has the highest base stat total of all Poison-type Pokémon, excluding Arceus while holding the Toxic Plate.
- Crobat is the fastest Poison-type Pokémon, with a base Speed of 130.
- Crobat is the only Pokémon of its body type (type 13) that is not Bug-type or in the Bug egg group.
Origin
Crobat is based on a bat.
