Pokédex entries
| Gold | It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby. |
|---|---|
| Silver | The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest. |
| Crystal | As a result of its pursuit of faster, yet more silent flight, a new set of wings grew on its hind legs. |
| Ruby | If this POKéMON is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it’s proof that CROBAT has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired. |
| Sapphire | CROBAT sneaks up on its intended prey using wings that barely make a sound. This POKéMON rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings. |
| FireRed | The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest. |
| LeafGreen | It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby. |
| Emerald | Over the course of evolution, its hind legs turned into wings. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop. |
| Diamond | Having four wings enables it to fly faster and more quietly. It turns active when the night comes. |
| Pearl | A Pokémon that gained vastly enhanced flying performance by having its legs turn into wings. |
| Platinum | The transformation of its legs into wings made it better at flying, but more clumsy at walking. |
| HeartGold | It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby. |
| SoulSilver | The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest. |

| Sun | Both its legs became wings, and as a result, it can’t move well on the ground. All it can do is crawl around. |
| Moon | Silent and swift in its four-winged flight, it bites down on its prey before they realize what’s happening. In a heartbeat, it drains their blood. |
| Ultra Sun | Its fangs are so sharp, if it bites you in the dark and sucks your blood, you won’t notice any pain or realize you’ve been bitten. |
| Ultra Moon | It feeds on the blood of living people and Pokémon. If it can’t drink any blood for even a short while, it becomes weak and unable to fly. |
| Sword | Both of its legs have turned into wings. Without a sound, Crobat flies swiftly toward its prey and sinks its fangs into the nape of its target’s neck. |
| Shield | This Pokémon flaps its four wings skillfully. Crobat can fly through cramped caves without needing to slow down. |
| Brilliant Diamond | Having four wings enables it to fly faster and more quietly. It turns active when the night comes. |
| Shining Pearl | This Pokémon gained vastly enhanced flying capabilities after its legs became wings. |
| Legends: Arceus | 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. |
