Strategy & play
How Team Rocket's Crobat ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Assassin's Return) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Hits for 120 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Darkness type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥155 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Team Rocket's Golbat first).
How to beat Team Rocket's Crobat ex
- Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥155 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
