Crobat Guide

  • For Legends: Arceus, we rate Crobat B-Tier: a solid option in Legends: Arceus for the right team. At 535 BST, it fits the support role. Bravebird with Heavy-Duty Boots is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Arceus, 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 Legends: Arceus, 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.

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.
