From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Crobat (Japanese: クロバット Crobat) is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Golbat when leveled up with high friendship. It is the final form of Zubat.
Biology
Crobat is a purple, bat-like Pokémon. Crobat has a stubby pair of feet, and has developed a second pair of wings with greenish-blue undersides and two stubby 'fingers'. Crobat's pointed ears are long, and appear to lack insides. Crobat's mouth is small and appears to have its teeth constantly bared. Crobat's eyes are yellow with red pupils. Crobat is a nocturnal Pokémon. If Crobat is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it is proof that Crobat has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop. Crobat rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings. Crobat is a cave-dwelling Pokémon.

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.
