Trivia

  • Woobat was first seen on concept art from the Best Wishes series along with Servine, Dewott, and Axew.
  • Karl in the 13th movie wears a baseball cap with a Woobat depicted on it.
  • Woobat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with Zubat's family. Both of them are Bat Pokémon species, live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes; furthermore, both of them reach their respective fully-evolved form by friendship, and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Woobat and Zubat have somewhat similar English names, both having bat as a suffix.
  • Woobat is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 313.
  • Woobat shares its species name with Zubat, Golbat, and Crobat. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Woobat appears to be based on the Honduran white bat (a white species of fruit bat) and a literal interpretation of a heart-nosed bat.

Name origin

Woobat may be a combination of woo and bat. It may also involve wool from its woolly appearance.

Koromori may be a combination of kokoro (heart) or ころころ korokoro (onomatopoeia for round thing rolling) and コウモリ kōmori (bat).
