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

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold

It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.

Pokémon Silver

The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest.

Pokémon Crystal

As a result of its pursuit of faster, yet more silent flight, a new set of wings grew on its hindlegs.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Name origin

Crobat's name is a combination of cross and bat. It may also be a combination of 黒 kuro, black, and English bat. The French corruption seems to imply Nightly Hell, nost for nocturne, or it could just be a corruption of Nosferatu (just like its previous forms).

Crobat is, obviously, based on a bat.

Base stats

Type effectiveness

In the anime
