  1. Pokémon that also evolve with max friendship (under certain conditions) are Meowth (in its Alola Form in 7th generation Pokémon games), Chansey, Eevee, Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Togepi, Azurill, Budew, Buneary, Chingling, Munchlax, Riolu, Woobat, Swadloon, and Type: Null, into Persian (in its Alola Form), Blissey, Espeon/Umbreon, Clefairy, Togetic, Marill, Roselia, Lopunny, Chimecho, Snorlax, Lucario, Swoobat, Leavanny, and Silvally, respectively.

  3. Feed it a lot of vitamins such as Protein or Iron to increase both friendship and stats, and use it in battles as often as possible. Try not to let it faint a lot.
  4. Massages/haircuts can quickly raise happiness in 4th generation Pokémon games, and in 5th generation games, you can feed it Sweet Hearts.
  5. This increases the happiness more quickly.
  6. It can often be difficult to tell, but there are people in every Pokémon game that can measure your Pokémon's happiness. If that particular person says that Golbat is extremely happy with you, it's time to level it up.

Catching It

  1. Crobat can be caught in the wild in these games.
  2. They should probably be Dusk Balls, since they work tremendously at night or in caves.
  3. This may take some time. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, you will have to encounter a Golbat, and wait until it calls a Crobat as its ally Pokémon. Use an Adrenaline Orb during the battle to make the Golbat call ally Pokémon more often. Once it calls a Crobat as its ally Pokémon, knock out the Golbat.
  4. Don't accidentally knock it out.

Internet Trade

  1. Due to the shutdown of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, 5th generation Pokémon games will no longer be able to connect to the Internet. Therefore, this only works in 6th and 7th generation Pokémon games.
  2. If you don't have a Crobat in your Pokédex, tap the "What Pokémon?" option and enter Crobat in the provided text box. Do not put a level restriction or any other restriction on it.
  3. If you have a good Pokémon, the trade should happen within about one day, so keep waiting if you haven't gotten a Crobat yet.

    If you are trying to encounter one by itself, then this won’t work. You have to lower its HP as low as you can without knocking it out (try false swiping it) and then use an adrenaline orb. Having a Pokémon with the Intimidate, Pressure, or Unnerve ability helps too. If the Golbat calls an ally that you don’t want, try to knock the ally out with a super effective move. This will make the Golbat more likely to call a Pokémon with great individual stats, a Hidden Ability, a Shiny Pokémon, or the Crobat you are looking for. Once the. Crobat comes as an ally, try false swiping it (use the move False Swipe) and then throwing your best Poké Ball (preferably Ultra Balls or Dusk Balls).
