**Crobat** (Japanese: **クロバット** *Crobat*) is a dual-type {{Poison}}/{{Flying}} Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Golbat when leveled up with high friendship. It is the final form of Zubat.

## Biology

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.

### Major appearances

### 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.

In *Chinchou in Charge*, a herd of Crobat, Zubat, and Golbat attacked Misty, Brock, and Erika in the Tohjo Falls.

A Crobat was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in Ilex Forest in *The Last Battle XIII*.

Giovanni is later seen with a Crobat in *Going Green*, presumably picked up during his solo training journey.

### In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

A Crobat was shown under the ownership of Jupiter which evolved from her Golbat prior to *A Novel Test!!*.

## Other appearances

#### Trophy information

*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.*
