Today marks the seventieth entry into the Generation VI competitive field with a Johto Pokémon. These entries are created by the visitors for the visitors and then compiled by our writers Miror, Archangel, jesusfreak94, Ragnarok, KillerDraco, KingTorterra & UR2L8. To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the second generation. It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby. Having four wings allows it to fly more quickly and quietly so it can sneak up on prey without its noticing. 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. 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.. So here it is, the seventieth entry, Crobat.
