Brock's Crobat: Difference between revisions

====[[Original series]]====

=====Kanto=====

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 occurred offscreen, as 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. It was later seen being fed some of Brock's special Pokémon food, perched on his shoulder.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Zubat was called up against [[Molly Hale]]. It battled {{p|Flaaffy}} and, despite confusing it with Supersonic and landing a {{m|Wing Attack}}, was taken out by a {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

In ''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock entered a castle where a woman named [[Dr. Anna]] used different Pokémon for diagnosing and treating patients. One of these was her Zubat, Mimi, which used its Supersonic move to scan patients. Eager to impress the doctor, Brock sent out his Zubat to assist her. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} entered the scene, and as Dr. Anna, Brock, and the two Zubat pursued them, causing them to become stuck in an underground maze. Dr. Anna had Mimi use Supersonic again to create a map, and with the assistance of Brock's Zubat an entire map of the maze was generated. They wandered through the maze and encountered multiple traps until their Zubat were able to find the exit door. It wouldn't open, however, and {{TRT}} were given the opportunity to grab both of the Zubat, only to find themselves stuck as well. They were eventually freed from the maze by {{TP|Brock|Pineco}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}} and the two Zubat flew free of the bag they were held in. Team Rocket tried to make off with [[Ash's Pikachu]], but the two Zubat blew away Weezing's Smokescreen and Brock's Zubat engaged in battle with Team Rocket's Pokémon. During this battle, it [[Evolution|evolved]] into Golbat, and was able to send Team Rocket packing with the help of Pikachu. Brock had hoped to stay and help Dr. Anna, but had his hopes crushed when he learned that Golbat was so strong that its Supersonic overloaded Dr. Anna's computer.

In ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Golbat was sent out alongside Brock and Misty's Pokémon to stop {{an|Giovanni}} and the rest of [[Team Rocket]] from recapturing {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Their distraction gave Ash the time he needed to take Mewtwo to the top of [[Mount Quena]] so it could be healed.  

Golbat and {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} watched over Brock when he fell ill in ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]''. It used Supersonic to prevent him overexerting himself and keep him in bed. It also helped rescue all of the stolen Pokémon by destroying the balloon with Wing Attack, and attacking Arbok and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, again with Pineco.
