PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Bite can be paired with Shadow Ball for effectiveness vs. Psychic and Ghost-types.

  • Air Slash can be paired with Sludge Bomb to specialize against Fairy and Grass-types.

  • Although Air Cutter has STAB, it’s an awful charge move.

  • Ignore Return, as it can't deal Super Effective damage.

  • Poison Fang is a bit too weak for PvE offense.

  • Likewise, Cross Poison lacks damage output for offense. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Air Slash is the go-to defensive fast move, having STAB and more power than Bite.

  • Cross Poison is slightly superior to Poison Fang as the 3-bar move of choice, but they're very similar for defense. 

  • Sludge Bomb combines high power with an early damage window, but is used less frequently as a 2-bar move. 

  • Shadow Ball can be seen coming from a mile away, but it nails Psychic-type counters if not dodged.

  • Air Cutter is weak, fairly easy to dodge, and resisted by some of Crobat’s counters. However, it can deal some damage to Machamp, which is the main reason that Crobat should even be considered on defense.

PVE Overview

Crobat is a very cool Pokemon let down by unviable Atk and iffy moves. Crobat’s typing gives it 3 double resistances and potential access to a moveset effective against all 3 of these types. Unfortunately, it’s not up to snuff as a Flying-type attacker. It can be useful for early to mid game players who find a high-level Zubat and want to be more effective against Grass/Fighting type raids in particular, but its utility just isn't worth any meaningful investment.

In a gym lineup, Crobat can briefly annoy Machamp looking for a sweep. That's about all it does, though.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Air Slash + Shadow Ball and Cross Poison or Poison Fang

Air Slash's balanced 3 DPT (Damage Per Turn) and 3 EPT (Energy Per Turn) combines with a STAB bonus and surprisingly good neutral coverage to come out on top in most matchups. Bite lacks STAB and energy gains, but provides strong Dark-type damage which is less likely to be resisted by Pokemon who counter Poison-types. 

Shadow Ball is generally recommended due to Crobat's other charge moves sharing the same Poison-typing, and is also useful to threaten Psychic-type counters. Sludge Bomb is strong and gets STAB, but doesn't provide additional coverage. Either Cross Poison or Poison Fang can be chosen as the secondary option for their low energy costs, enabling Crobat to bait shields while providing useful buff or debuff utilities. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 2.5 / 5

The addition of two cheap charge moves with utilities following the GBL Season 8 update gives Crobat more play in Great League. While Crobat is not very tanky and will lose to Steel tanks fairly quickly, the utilities it can provide can help turn battles more favorably. Golbat should still be considered due to its faster energy gains with Wing Attack, but Crobat can fulfill the same role if needed. 

Ultra League: 2.5 / 5

Crobat has some nice specialist matchups in the Ultra League, in particular removing Fairy types and Charm users from the field with a powerful, STAB Sludge Bomb. It also has great matchups against anything Grass or Fighting types, in particular invalidating the use of the outstanding moves Counter and Power-Up Punch. However, when not played to its strengths, Crobat is basically made of paper. In order to function it needs support, and it needs to be played for support.

Master League: 0 / 5

Once again, Crobat is invalidated. Its CP just can't keep up with the juggernauts that clash in the Master League, and its niche is far less important.
