Crobat (Pokémon)
Revision as of 04:12, 8 March 2017 by Force Fire(talk | contribs)(→Trivia: Many Pokemon have similar stats but different individual values, not unique to these two.)
Crobat is a purple, bat-like Pokémon. This Pokémon's pointed ears are long, and appear to lack insides, while its mouth is small and usually has its teeth bared. Crobat's eyes are red with yellow scelera. It has two pairs of wings; one smaller pair is located near its stubby feet, and a second pair on its shoulders has greenish-blue undersides and two stubby 'fingers'. The hind pair of wings developed from legs, and can still function as such. This allows it to rest by hanging on a tree branch with its rear wings.
If Crobat is flying by fluttering only one pair of wings, it is proof that it has been flying a long distance. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop. Crobat is a nocturnal Pokémon that is typically found in caves.
Brock had a Crobat that he originally caught as a Zubat. It reached its final evolutionary form in Control Freak!. He eventually gave it to his brother Forrest.
Another one appeared in PRV3 under the ownership of Heath.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Janine used a Crobat against Suicune in Crossing Crobat. After Suicune countered its first attack, Janine ordered Crobat to use Double Team. Suicune was able to see through this as well, however, due to the shadow cast by the real Crobat and Janine, and Crobat was frozen.
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.

Crobat's color scheme is the reverse of Golbat's. This also applies to its Shiny variation.
Crobat's evolutionary line has several similarities with Swoobat's. All of the members of the lines are based on bats and reach their respective final evolutionary form by friendship.
