Woobat(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Psychic/Flying Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fifth Pokémon generation in the Black and White games. It evolves into Swoobat with high happiness.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Woobat is a blue, spherical Pokémon, resembling a Honduran White Bat. It is covered in shaggy fur and has a large, piggish nose with a heart-shaped nostril. Two tufts of shaggy fur hide its eyes, and its mouth has a single fang in the center of its upper jaw. There are two relatively small, black wings on either side of its body.
Woobat's nose serves various purposes: It uses ultrasonic waves from its nostrils for echolocation, and it can also be used to grip walls as Woobat sleeps, which leaves heart-shaped marks on the walls of caves. A Woobat's heart-shaped mark is said to give good fortune to whoever it leaves its mark on. Woobat preys on bug Pokémon and is known to live in caves and dark forests.
Appearances[]
In Enter Iris and Axew!, Jessie caught a Woobat while in a cave with James and Meowth. She used him to battle Ash Ketchum and Iris. He managed to defeat Ash's newly caught Pidove, but was defeated by Oshawott's Water Gun. Jessie had to give Woobat to Giovanni as a sign that they accomplished something in Unova. Woobat returned to Jessie's party in Rocket Revengers!.
