>>32938490Crobat is the standard by which all other ingame pokemon should be measured. Crobat is always good, and is almost always available. That's what makes it such a good standard.
Crobat remains mostly stable for ingame usage, what makes it better or worse tends to be what its competition is.
Crobat is one of the very best pokemon you can get in gen 3. It isn't because Crobat is rediculously good, it's that everything else in Hoenn sucks the fouth longest dick in the universe.
Meanwhile, Crobat is comparatively weak in games like BW2 and XY, where the ingame pokemon selection is fucking amazing. Again, it isn't because Crobat itself is weak, it's because the things around it are stronger.
Crobat can be used as the primary unit of measurement in terms of in-game pokemon usage, if not difficulty as a whole because of its general reliability. Crobat is the Silver standard of Pokemon. If you are considering using a pokemon, you consider A: Is this better than Crobat, then B: If no, does it fill a particular role Crobat cannot?
More than one Nuzlocke has been carried by the unsung Crobat who never left the team, and was always taken for granted.
