'''Woobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コロモリ''' ''Koromori'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Swoobat}} when [[friendship evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

Woobat is a blue, spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, resembling a {{wp|Honduran White Bat}}. It is covered in shaggy fur and has a large, piggish nose with a heart-shaped nostril. Two tufts of shaggy fur hide its eyes, and its mouth has a single fang in the center of its upper jaw. There are two relatively small, black wings on either side of its body.

Woobat's nose serves various purposes: It uses ultrasonic waves from its nostrils for echolocation, and it can also be used to grip walls as Woobat sleeps, which leaves heart-shaped marks on the walls of caves. A Woobat's heart-shaped mark is said to give good fortune to whoever it leaves its mark on. Woobat preys on bug Pokémon and is known to live in caves and dark forests.

===Evolution===

Woobat evolves into {{p|Swoobat}}.

==In the TCG==

{{main|Woobat (TCG)}}

* Woobat was first seen on [[Media:BW anime.png|concept art]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' along with {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Dewott}}, and {{p|Axew}}.

* [[Karl]], a character in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', wears a baseball cap with a Woobat depicted on it. As Woobat's official reveal was four days before the {{pkmn|movie}}'s release in Japan, the reveal of Karl's design was the first time Woobat's existence was hinted at.

* Woobat's evolutionary family has several similarities with {{p|Zubat}}'s. All of the members of both lines are called the Bat Pokémon (excluding {{p|Swoobat}}), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective unevolved states; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully evolved forms by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Woobat and Zubat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.

* Woobat shares its {{pkmn|category}} with the Zubat evolutionary family. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.

* Woobat is the only unevolved Pokémon that received an increase to its [[base stats]] in [[Generation VII]].

With its light-colored fur, prominent nose and fluffy, round bodies, Woobat appears to be based on {{wp|Honduran white bat}}s. In particular, their shape resembles how these bats look when they're curled up together. Sunlight filters through the leaves these bats sleep on and make their white fur appear green during the day, which would mirror Woobat's {{Shiny}} form.

 

It may also be a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}. The hair covering its eyes may be a reference to the myth of bats being blind or having extremely poor eyesight. Woobat's nose resembles a rubber stamp, befitting its signature move, {{m|Heart Stamp}}. Its round nose leaf and sharp central tooth may be inspired by {{wp|vampire bats}}; this tooth also resembles a baby tooth, which may allude to its status as a first-stage Pokémon with low base stats.

Woobat may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:woo|woo]]'' and ''bat''. It may also involve ''wool'' from its woolly appearance.

 

Koromori may be a combination of 心 ''kokoro'' (heart) or  コロコロ ''korokoro'' (onomatopoeia for lightly rolling) and 蝙蝠 ''kōmori'' (bat).
