Crobat Pokédex entries

7 generations · newest first
Generation VIII3 entries
Sword

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.

Shield

This Pokémon flaps its four wings skillfully. Crobat can fly through cramped caves without needing to slow down.

Legends: Arceus

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.

Generation VII4 entries
Sun

Both its legs became wings, and as a result, it can’t move well on the ground. All it can do is crawl around.

Moon

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.

Ultra Sun

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 Moon

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.

Generation VI4 entries
X

It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.

Y

Having four wings allows it to fly more quickly and quietly so it can sneak up on prey without its noticing.

Omega Ruby

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.

Alpha Sapphire

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.

Generation V2 entries
