'''Brock's Crobat''' (Japanese: '''タケシのクロバット''' ''Takeshi's Crobat'') was a [[Pokémon]] owned by [[Brock]] from near the beginning of the [[Pokémon anime]] until shortly after the beginning of [[Pokémon Advanced]]. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English was ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]''.

It was first seen in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' as a Zubat flying out of [[Mt. Moon]] with many others of its kind.  Unlike most Pokémon captures, this was never shown happening, and it did not become known he had captured one until he used it in a [[Pokémon battle|battle]] against [[Jessie's Arbok|Jessie's Ekans]] and [[James's Weezing|James's Koffing]].  [[Ash]] was puzzled by its appearance, and Brock explained that he had caught it before they entered the cave, much to Ash's frustration as he realized that he should have caught one as well.

Despite having been in Brock's possession in its unevolved stage for a long period of time, little was seen of Zubat in the anime and it was used rarely in battles.  This may be because Brock himself did not battle often, and tended to favor his {{t|Rock}}-type Pokémon when he did.  Possibly due to its lack of experience, Zubat did not evolve even as it traveled with Brock through [[Kanto]], stayed with him with [[Professor Ivy]] while Ash and [[Misty]] explored the [[Orange Islands]], and came with him to [[Johto]].
