Pokédex Entry

Bat Pokémon

As a result of its pursuit of faster, yet more silent flight, a new set of wings grew on its hind legs. Crobat is one of the fastest Pokemon in the game! As a Flying/Poison type Pokemon, it has a pretty even advantage spread. Its leveled up with high friendship, which can be checked in Goldenrod City. You can get Zubat pretty early, so Crobat is a good Pokemon to consider for your team if you are trying to build up early. Infiltrator makes it annoying for your opponents by getting around barrier based moves. Brave Bird and Venoshock for STAB, Crunch for coverage.
