Biology

Crobat is a bat-like Pokémon and is the evolution of Golbat, reached by having a good friendship with its trainer. Crobat has two pairs of wings, appearing in the shape of an X, with its hind pair being used to help the Pokémon fly fast. These wings were developed from its previous evolution's legs.

Crobat has the ability to alternate between which pair of wings it uses, enabling it to fly for long distances. Crobat is dependent on drinking blood, as even a short time without blood consumption can lead to weakness and an inability to fly.

Design & origin

Crobat's name is a combination of the words "cross" and "bat".

Its hind limbs have become another set of wings. Crobat expertly maneuvers its four wings to dart in exquisite fashion through even the most confined caves without losing any speed.
Legends: Arceus
This Pokémon flaps its four wings skillfully. Crobat can fly through cramped caves without needing to slow down.
Shield
Both of its legs have turned into wings. Without a sound, Crobat flies swiftly toward its prey and sinks its fangs into the nape of its target’s neck.
Sword
It feeds on the blood of living people and Pokémon. If it can’t drink any blood for even a short while, it becomes weak and unable to fly.
Ultra Moon
Its fangs are so sharp, if it bites you in the dark and sucks your blood, you won’t notice any pain or realize you’ve been bitten.
Ultra Sun
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.
Moon
Both its legs became wings, and as a result, it can’t move well on the ground. All it can do is crawl around.
Sun
Having four wings allows it to fly more quickly and quietly so it can sneak up on prey without its noticing.
Black 2 · White 2 · Y
The transformation of its legs into wings made it better at flying, but more clumsy at walking.
Platinum · Black · White
A Pokémon that gained vastly enhanced flying performance by having its legs turn into wings.
Pearl
Having four wings enables it to fly faster and more quietly. It turns active when the night comes.
Diamond
Over the course of evolution, its hind legs turned into wings. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop.
Emerald
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.
Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire
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.
Ruby · Omega Ruby
As a result of its pursuit of faster, yet more silent flight, a new set of wings grew on its hind legs.
Crystal
The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest.
Silver · FireRed · SoulSilver
It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.
Gold · LeafGreen · HeartGold · X
