You only prove my point! Yes, crobat has a higher average base stat. However, I don't care about averages. I'm concerned with HP, defence, spec. defence and maybe special attack, seeing as swalot is a poisoner. For those purposes, swalot is still superior.
In any case, I'm not doing a crobat. The only useful move I can think of that crobat would learn is bite, maybe crunch, as something to deploy against psychics. But if I wanted to do that, I'd put in the hard yards with Metroid and train her up to Mightyena.

Crobat doesn't learn Crunch, and if he could, he wouldn't use it anyway, since Dark type attacks are consider Special Attacks in Emerald. Which is one of the reasons Mightyena isn't really that good >_>

Against Psychic types, Crobat would use Shadow Ball. As for other damaging moves, Crobat can also use Sludge Bomb and Aerial Ace. And I suppose Hidden Power... though actually getting it to be a desirable type (Like Rock) is a big hassle.


At any rate, notice the 3 point different in Defense and SpDefense? That's right Swalot can take hits just as well as Crobat. Some tank he is
