Crobat has a purple body as opposed to the blue body its pre-evolutions had. Crobat has a stubby pair of feet, and has developed a second pair of wings with greenish-blue undersides and two stubby 'fingers'. Crobat's pointed ears are long, and appear to lack ear insides. Crobat's mouth is smaller in comparison to Golbat's, and it appears to have its teeth constantly bared. It has also been shown to have teeth only on its lower jaw. Crobat's eyes are yellow with red pupils.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Crobat's extra pair of wings allow it to fly much faster than its predecessors. Crobat's wings have also developed a more powerful cutting edge for using Cross Poison and X-Scissor.
Like its pre-evolutions, Crobat becomes active at night. If Crobat is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it is proof that Crobat has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop. Crobat rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings.
Brock had a Crobat that he originally caught as a Zubat. He reached its final evolutionary form in Control Freak!. He eventually gave it to his brother Forrest.
Crobat made a small appearance in The Rise of Darkrai as one of the Pokémon Darkrai hit with a Dark Void attack as the other trainers were attacking him.
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.

Despite the fact that the Pokédex information says that Crobat's rear legs and rear wings are the same body part, Crobat clearly has a set of feet and legs distinct from its hind wings depicted in the rear sprites in Generation III, front sprites in Generation V as well as in the anime, TCG, and 3D games. However, the footprint in the Pokédex for Crobat is blank.
Since its debut in Generation II, Crobat's color scheme has been Golbat's color scheme, inverted. This also applies to its Shiny variation.
