Crobat (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

'''Crobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クロバット''' ''Crobat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Biology==

Crobat is a purple, {{wp|bat|chiropteran}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a small, round body. It has long, pointed ears, yellow eyes with red pupils, and a small mouth that usually has its teeth bared. On its body are two pairs of wings: an upper pair that is slightly larger and a lower pair that developed from its hind legs. Both pairs have green-blue membranes, but the lower pair's membranes are only visible from the back. The upper wings have two claw-like fingers near the middle. On the bottom of its body are what appear to be a pair of stubby feet or tufts of fur.

Crobat is capable of flying long distances by alternating between its two sets of wings. The extra set of wings has also improved its flight speed without sacrificing its ability to fly silently. It can also travel through cramped caves without ever slowing. The combination of silent flight and sharp fangs allows it to bite down on prey without being noticed and drain their blood. If unable to consume blood, it becomes lethargic and unable to fly. Due to its lack of legs, it is clumsy on the ground and only able to crawl around with its wings. Crobat is rarely found in the wild, though it is typically found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} or on tree branches, where it hangs upside-down by its rear wings. It is a nocturnal Pokémon.

{{Dex/Entry1|v=Omega Ruby|t=FFF|entry=If this Pokémon is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it's proof that Crobat has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired.}}

{{Dex/Entry1|v=Alpha Sapphire|t=FFF|entry=Crobat sneaks up on its intended prey using wings that barely make a sound. This Pokémon rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings.}}

{{Dex/Entry1|v=Moon|entry=Silent and swift in its four-winged flight, it bites down on its prey before they realize what's happening. In a heartbeat, it drains their blood.}}
