Strategy Overview
Crobat might not see much use in VGC when compared to standard threats such as Metagross, but this does not mean it isn't worth using. It actually finds itself able to handle utility Fake Out users, such as Hitmontop and Mienshao, pretty well with its access to Inner Focus and a powerful STAB, Flying Gem-boosted Acrobatics. Crobat is also one of the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the tier with its amazing base 130 Speed. All in all, Crobat is certainly a Pokemon who can tear through the opposition if used properly, but one wrong choice will easily make it dead weight.
