[SET COMMENTS]
Crobat finds a solid role on Poison teams thanks to its Ground immunity, high Speed, and solid utility movepool. Brave Bird deals with threats such as Iron Valiant, Mega Gallade, and Ogerpon-W. Infiltrator + Toxic is used to spread status against targets such as Substitute Hydreigon and Kyurem, while U-turn can be used to retain momentum against foes like Gholdengo. Defog provides longevity to teammates including Mega Venusaur and Alolan Muk by removing entry hazards so they can get the most out of their bulk. The EV spread allows Crobat to outspeed threats like Tornadus-T, Meowscarada, and Sneasler while still providing reasonable bulk, allowing it to take hits such as Freeze-Dry from Substitute Kyurem and +2 Dark Pulse from Hydreigon. Crobat greatly appreciates bulky teammates such as Toxapex and Mega Venusaur that can take Knock Off from the likes of Alolan Muk, Hisuian Goodra, and Ferrothorn, preventing it from losing its Heavy-Duty Boots. Mega Venusaur also complements Crobat by handling Ground-types such as Mega Swampert, Mamoswine, and Great Tusk. Alolan Muk provides a complementary Psychic immunity and can handle Psychic- and Ghost-type threats like Tapu Lele, Galarian Slowking, Blacephalon, and Gholdengo thanks to Knock Off and Pursuit. Nidoking can handle Electric-, Rock-, and Steel-type threats including Tapu Koko, Nihilego, Heatran, and Ferrothorn that can otherwise wall Crobat. Sneasler can similarly threaten Steel- and Rock-types threats like Hisuian Goodra, Tyranitar, and Ogerpon-C thanks to Close Combat, and it appreciates Crobat's ability to switch into bulky Ground-types like Clodsire and Hippowdon.
