How to Evolve Golbat into Crobat in Pokémon BDSP
Players can evolve their Golbat into a Crobat in both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl by leveling them up after reaching a high enough level of friendship (220) with Golbat. You can increase your Pokémon friendship level by walking with them, using them on important battles, equipping them with items, and gifting them with the right consumables.
With that said, to increase the rate at which your Pokémon’s happiness increases, don’t forget to get and equip them with the Soothe Bell, which will increase any friendship gain by 50%. You can then check out the friendship level of your Pokémon by using the Friendship Checker app.
To recap, here’s how to evolve your Golbat into a Crobat in both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl:
- Get a Golbat.
- Increase its friendship level to the desired amount.
- Level them up so that they evolve into Crobat.
