It’s not the flashiest ability, or the strongest, but it’s extremely useful to have on a team so that if somebody throws up Reflect you can just punch right through it. Most of these are real moves that people use. Infiltrator means Crobat’s attacks ignore Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, Mist, Aurora Veil, and Substitute. Now, immunity to Fake Out ins’t bad in competitive battles, but Crobat’s other ability is just better. I don’t want to speak too ill of Inner Focus, because preventing Flinching is reasonable and Flinching can make a break a fight, but Inner Focus only works if you go second, and that’s really only happening if the opponent uses Fake Out. With an attack stat of 90 and amazingly average defenses, Crobat’s not the hardest hitter, but it can take hits better than most of the things that outspeed it. 130 speed is absolutely something to write home about, with very few Pokemon outspeeding Crobat. The drawback here is that some of the overlap is offensive, too, and despite being dual-type Crobat’s only supereffective against Bug, FIghting, Grass, and Fairy, and has to worry about Rock and Steel resisting both its types.Ĭrobat is fast AF.
THE FLAPPY BAT POKEMON PLUS
Poison resists all three types that Flying does, and Flying covers poison’s Ground weakness, meaning Crobat has four types it can reliably switch into, plus Poison and Fairy resistance. Certainly not a Moon Stone.Īs a Flying/Poison type, Crobat’s got a lot of overlap. Because nothing is more powerful than Friendship. Friendship for final forms is a reasonable way to do it. Zubat evolves at level 22, and then again through Friendship. Zubat->Golbat staying the same and then Crobat being a flip feels odd. The inverted color scheme also feels weird going through Golbat. Zubat doesn’t have legs, instead having those spikey things, then Golbat has feet, but then Crobat’s feet turn into extra wings? I just don’t get it. I could see the two as a divergent evolution, but I don’t know how you go to huge mouth chompy boy to something that doesn’t even have fangs. Golbat and Crobat both look great as evolutions of Zubat, but I just don’t read Crobat as an evolution of Golbat at all. And I love that, too.īut you know what I don’t love? The line. It’s really cartoony, but I like it.įinally, Crobat has this sleek, four-winged design that makes it look like it’s just whipping about and ready to zoom everywhere. It’s the distilled essence of Vampire Bat- big, flappy, and going to chomp you. Then we have Golbat as this big, mouthy thing that’s basically just a bitey mouth with wings. Zubat is memorable, cute, and while clearly being a bat is also clearly something monstrous rather than being ‘just’ a bat. Big wings, big ears, tiny body, and then I don’t know what’s going on with its legs there, but they cut a striking profile. Zubat has a wonderful, simple design of this ur-bat. #game else if ( birdTop containerHeight - bird.Okay now that that’s out of the way, let’s just talk about this Pokemon.
