GEN 5 PREVIEW

WOOBAT, SWOOBAT
Caves are scattered about the Pokémon world, with Zubat swarming most of them. But the Unova region substitute's the flying pest with another: Woobat and Swoobat. But while they may be pains in a Unovan play-through, what will they be like in Pokémon GO?

WOOBAT

  • CATEGORY: Bat Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: WOO-bat
  • TYPE: Psychic / Flying
  • HEIGHT: 1' 04"
  • WEIGHT: 4.6 lbs.
Picture

ATTACK:  107

DEFENSE:  85

STAMINA:  163

MAX  CP:  1016


SWOOBAT

  • CATEGORY: Courting Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: SWOO-bat
  • TYPE: Psychic / Flying
  • HEIGHT: 2' 11"
  • WEIGHT: 23.1 lbs.
Picture

ATTACK:  161

DEFENSE:  119

STAMINA:  167

MAX  CP:  1716

PLACE IN THE META: Swoobat will not be of any use in Pokémon GO. This weak bat does not have what it takes to compete with Psychic-type and Flying-type powerhouses like Mewtwo and Rayquaza.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Swoobat:
  • Air Slash
  • Confusion
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Swoobat:
  • Air Cutter
  • Future Sight
  • Psychic

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Swoobat's movepool:
  • Heart Stamp

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Swoobat gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! The Excadrill family is up next!
