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.
