'''Brock's Crobat''' (Japanese: '''タケシのクロバット''' ''Takeshi's Crobat'') was | '''Brock's Crobat''' (Japanese: '''タケシのクロバット''' ''Takeshi's Crobat'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Brock}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and the first he {{pkmn2|caught}} within the series. | ||

Crobat | 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 Koffing tackled it. 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 ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', Zubat | In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', Zubat and {{AP|Squirtle}} battled a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}}, but it was knocked out by Tentacruel's attack. | ||
=====Orange Islands===== | =====Orange Islands===== | ||
In ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', when Brock decided to stay with [[Professor Ivy]] while Ash and {{an|Misty}} explored the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], Zubat remained with him. It was seen, along with {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, bidding goodbye to Ash and Misty as they parted ways with Brock. However, it returned with him to Pallet Town when he decided to leave Ivy. | |||
=====Johto===== | =====Johto===== | ||
When Brock returned to the group in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', he brought Zubat with him, as revealed in ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'', where it failed to track down [[Rochelle]]'s stolen {{p|Donphan}}. In ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]'', Zubat tried to track down a {{p|Ledyba}} but ended up disturbing a group of {{p|Golbat}}. | |||
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', | 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}}. | ||
[[File: | [[File:EP165.png|thumb|220px|Zubat with Mimi]] | ||
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 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 ''[[ | 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. | ||
[[File:Brock Golbat and Pineco taking care of him.png|thumb|220px|left|Golbat and Pineco taking care of Brock]] | |||
Golbat and {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} watched over Brock when he fell ill in ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]''. It used Supersonic to prevent him from overexerting himself and keep him in bed. It also helped rescue the stolen Pokémon by destroying the balloon with Wing Attack and attacking Arbok and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, again with Pineco. | |||
In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'', Brock found and agreed to help a woman who was looking for two artifacts that were supposedly buried nearby and had been used by a queen to control Pokémon. Possibly having learned to do such from his encounter with Dr. Anna, Brock was able to hook up Golbat to her computer and display a map of the underground. They reached the chamber only to find Team Rocket had beaten them there, and Jessie was using the artifacts to control Pokémon. Golbat was the only Pokémon that could resist the effects of the artifacts and countered it using its Supersonic. Jessie turned Brock's Geodude and Onix against him, and it was trapped under the rubble of Onix's {{m|Dig}}. Brock was able to locate Golbat under the rocks by listening carefully for the sound waves, somehow having ears sensitive enough to pick up the ultrasonic waves. They tracked down Team Rocket to find them leaving in a rocket. Golbat and [[Ash's Noctowl]] flew after the rocket but could not keep up. Brock called out to Golbat, and this caused it to evolve into Crobat. It easily overtook Noctowl and the rocket and destroyed it with a Wing Attack. | |||
In ''[[ | In ''[[EP226|Espeon Not Included]]'', Crobat was sent out to find Team Rocket and find out where they had taken [[Sakura]]'s sisters' [[Eeveelutions]]. | ||
==== | In ''[[EP264|Mother of All Battles]]'', when the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] stole {{AP|Larvitar}}'s mother, {{p|Tyranitar}}, Crobat was sent out to chase after them. Crobat tailed them without being noticed and reported their location back to Brock. | ||

Brock lent Crobat alongside Onix and Geodude to his younger brother, [[Forrest]], who took on the role of [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]] when Brock went to [[Hoenn]] in ''[[HS01|The Family That Battles Together, Stays Together]]''. | |||
=====Kanto Battle Frontier===== | =====Kanto Battle Frontier===== | ||
Crobat joined {{p|Steelix}} and Geodude to greet Brock in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]''. | |||

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Brock sent Crobat out to battle Team Rocket. | |||
===Personality and characteristics=== | |||
Despite its few appearances, Crobat was shown to be very loyal towards its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, due to the training it received and the care Brock gave it. Crobat's loyalty is best shown where it even used {{m|Supersonic}} on Brock if it meant getting him to rest when he insisted on helping out with chores. Its impeccable speed and Supersonic sonar proved useful on many occasions, like finding missing Pokémon or guiding Brock and his friends through otherwise treacherous caverns. It is also competent at scouting, often used when {{TRT}} stole a Pokémon. | |||
