Crobat Guide

For Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, we rate Crobat B-Tier: a solid option in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl for the right team. At 535 BST, it fits the support role. Bravebird with Heavy-Duty Boots is the standard set.
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, watch for Raikou (Electric), Lapras (Ice), and Alakazam (Psychic) when using Crobat. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Rock-type attackers are also a problem.
Inner Focus prevents flinching. That's the one you want on Crobat. Infiltrator is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Base 130 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Crobat is leaning toward the physical side (base 90 Attack). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a support.
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, run Bravebird, U Turn, Roost, and Taunt on Crobat. Bravebird is the most common pick at 20% usage. This set covers the support role with a mix of damage and utility.
