How to catch Crobat in Pokemon Go

Here’s how you can get Crobat in Pokemon Go:

• By catching it in the wild
• By beating its 3-Star Raids
• By catching a wild Golbat and evolving it with 100 Candy
• By catching a wild Zubat, evolving it to a Golbat with 25 Candy, and then to a Crobat with 100 Candy.

Zubat is a common spawn, while wild Golbat and Crobat are rare. But, you’re likely to find all three during Cloudy or Windy in-game weather in Pokemon Go.

Be sure to use a Pinap or Silver Pinap Berry each time you catch Zubat or Golbat to get Crobat quickly.

Can Crobat be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, you can get shiny Crobat in Pokemon Go by evolving shiny Zubat. Keep in mind that the shiny versions of Golbat and Crobat cannot be found in the wild or through Raids, and evolving a shiny Zubat is the only way.

The shiny odds of a wild Zubat are 1 in 512 encounters.

The best PvP moves for Crobat in Pokemon Go is Air Slash with Poison Fang and Shadow Ball.

Air Slash has balanced damage output and energy gains that help Crobat use Poison Fang. This sneaky Charged Move costs only 40 energy, letting Crobat bait shields. Also, it is guaranteed to drop the opponent’s Defense stat by one stage, making it useful even in unfavorable matchups.

I’ve often switched out Crobat after using this move and then easily defeated the debuffed opponent by bringing in a counter. Additionally, I’ve also found it great for farming energy with Fast Moves. The other amazing Charged Move is the Ghost-type Shadow Ball. Even though it doesn’t get STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), its wide neutral coverage can help you win many battles.
