Stats & Training
Speed and Attack carry most of Crobat's stat budget. Sp. Atk's the obvious dump stat. Moderately hard to find and yields 3 Speed EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
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.
Crobat Weakness
Electric, Ice, Psychic, and Rock moves hit Crobat for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses.

How to Evolve
Legends: Z-A Crobat Best Moveset
The build revolves around U-turn for safe pivoting. Innerfocus and Heavy-Duty Boots support Crobat's hit-and-run approach, with max HP and Speed EVs making sure each pivot actually threatens. The remaining moves adds versatility.

How to Get Crobat in Legends: Z-A
Crobat can't be caught in Legends: Z-A. Transfer Zubat from Red, Yellow, or Gold and evolve through the 3-stage chain to get it. The step cards below map the full chain.
Crobat Guide
For Legends: Z-A, we rate Crobat B-Tier: a solid option in Legends: Z-A for the right team. At 535 BST, it fits the support role. Roost with Heavy-Duty Boots is the standard set.
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.
For Legends: Z-A, Crobat has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Electric, Ice, and Psychic-type attackers hit hardest.
Game Availability
Available in 18 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Crobat spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
