Hell yeah, that poisonous bat... The reason why it's so high in this list is because it looks way more awesome than the original Zubat and Golbat. Those two are among the original 151 Pokémon, while Crobat is from generation II. However, Zubat and Golbat look weird, while Crobat actually looks vicious. And that's exactly what I want to see about poison-type Pokémon. Besides, Golbat needed an update, because it was a horrible Pokémon to use in the first few video games. It evolves into Crobat by leveling it up at a high friendship level, but Crobat wasn't really an improvement in generation II, though, other than the fact that it could learn Fly (Golbat couldn't until the fourth generation). Too bad, because Crobat has very decent attack, along with some quite decent defenses and a hell of a good speed stat, too. Throughout the generations, some interesting moves have been added to Crobat's movepool, although neither were very effective. Air Cutter and Air Slash are special-based, not really Crobat's strongest point, and Poison Fang, although sounding quite strong, has a base power of only 50. It got better in generation IV, when it got to learn strong moves like X-Scissor, Cross Poison (with a chance of poisoning and causing a critical hit), Steel Wing and Aerial Ace, but the cream of the crop of all moves it learns in generation V: Acrobatics! It has a base attack power of 165 (due to STAB) when it is not holding an item. That's the move we were all waiting for for him to learn! There are more and stronger Pokémon that can learn Acrobatics, though, but Crobat is still a reliable Pokémon to use. And while Zubat and Golbat are being just plain annoying, Crobat steals the show with a cool appearance. Eat that, Zubat!
