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".
