Move 4:Roost
Ability: Infiltrator
Item: Black Sludge
EVs:252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

-In EVs, a bulky spread of 252 HP/ 252 Spe can be used but the power drop is noticeable.
Usage Tips
=======
-U-Turn as much as possible: the chip damage works wonders, and also makes sure he is not outclassed by Latios.
-Try to come on a foe you outspeed, which is not hard, so you can recover up damage before they kill you.
-Brave Bird only when you know it will severely damage opponents or outright KO them.

Ability: Infilitrator
Item:Choice Band / Scarf
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
Moves:
=====
-Brave Bird is your main STAB that outspeeds and usually outright OHKOes M-Beedrill,M-Lopunny, and M-Sceptile (with scarf) or kills or severely hurts the portion of the metagame below 130 speed.
-U-Turn lets you scout any move you feel unsure of (scarf) or deals heavy chip damage (band).
-Cross Poison is a secondary STAB that mainly hits electrics harder.
-Heat waves deals with steels not named Heatran who would other wise wall this set.
-Sleep talk allows it to absorb sleep.
-Hypnosis cripples a potential counter.
Set Details
=======
-With scarf, Crobat can deal revenge all pokemon below 591 speed.
-With Band, Crobat can deal heavy damage to easily clean late game.
-Use Scarf if your team has no speed check, while band is if you need something to wear down checks for your team.
-Great to YOLO.
Usage Tips
=======
-This set serves as a check to Fighting- and Grass-types because of its great defensive typing and STAB Brave Bird.
-It also does heavy damage to offensive teams thanks to its great Speed and strength.
-Deals with SubCM Keldeo.
Team Options
************
Swampert=> a good partner for Crobat thanks to their great defensive synergy together and the fact that it can set up Stealth Rock for Crobat, making Crobat's job of punching holes in the opponent's team easier. In return, Crobat can take care of troublesome Grass-types such as Shaymin, Roserade, and Chesnaught.
Dugtrio=> also makes for a good partner for its ability to trap and KO Electric-, Rock-, and Steel-types that trouble Crobat.
Also, Crobat has good use in a core consisting of Crobat, Jirachi, and a Dragon-type, often Hydreigon or Mega Ampharos, for their notable defensive synergy and ability to check multiple threats.
Other Options
************
-Nasty Plot
Checks and Counters
******************
Talonflame and Azumarill obilerates it with Brave Bird and Aqua Jet respectively.
Anything that hits it SE due to its only good defenses.
Heatran completely walls it.
