Crobat In Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen Nintendo Switch

To get Crobat in Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, you will need to increase the friendship of your Golbat.

Well, that is the first part. Unfortunately, even if you do that, you will not get Crobat until you have beaten the Elite 4. This is because Pokemon locked all non-Gen 1 Pokemon behind the National Pokedex. Which you can only get in the postgame.

Along with this, every time you level up your Golbat, you will get an evolution opportunity that will simply not work. If you are not running a nuzlocke, you can get your Golbat knocked out a few times and that may lower the friendship to stop the annoying evolution screen from happening so often.

Friendship

Friendship in Pokemon is a number in the game that you cannot see.

Instead, you have to basically just do certain things in the game until the mysterious number is finally high enough. To make your friendship higher, you can keep the Pokemon you want, Golbat in this instance, at the front of your team. You also need to use it in battle but keep it from fainting.

Lastly, there is a Soothing Bell that you need to use the Item Finder to get. It will be where you found Mr. Fuji while in the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town.
