Noctowl or Crobat for HeartGold playthrough?

Sep. 5, 2020

I haven’t started training either one yet, but I wanted to see what other people though before I went ahead with anything. Whichever one doesn’t end up on my team will be replaced with Umbreon later.

Pros- Ridiculously fast- Solid Attack- Learns U-turn- Aerial Ace is a decent move- Can be good against Bruno, Erika, and to an extent, Giovanni

Cons- Only decent defenses and HP- Not too many options for physical attacks- Friendship evolutions are a pain

Pros- Great HP and Special Defense- Decent Special Attack- Can learn things like Extrasensory, Air Slash, Hypnosis, Reflect, and Shadow Ball- Can be good against Bruno, Will, Erika, Koga, and to an extent, Giovanni

Cons- Middling Speed- Garbage Defense

It may seem like Noctowl is better, but I would choose Crobat. It’s got a better typing, it’s faster, and it can reliably deal with foes. Hope I helped!
