Crobat debuted in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' as a Zubat flying out of [[Mt. Moon]] with many others of its kind. Unlike most captures, this was never shown happening, and it did not become known that Brock had captured one until he used it in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|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. Zubat used Whirlwind alongside [[Ash's Butterfree]] to repel a {{m|Smokescreen}}, but it was tackled by Koffing. It recovered and used Supersonic, causing Ekans and Koffing to turn on each other, allowing Butterfree to send them flying.
