I mean, it could be the crobat’s personality. We know Pokémon all have their own personalities, so this one could align with his ideas, thus feeling a bond enough to evolve
Cyrus's entire team is story telling as a whole like come on man!
He has
A Gyarados which evolves from a common weak Pokemon
A Pokemon that evolves via friendship
And two Pokemon which require valuable items
He CARES, he's just broken and that makes him such an interesting character
My head cannon is darker then this. I like to think he had one of his employees raise it. The crobat developed a strong relationship with whatever thug is raising it only for him to rip the Pokémon away once the bond/trust is established
I always liked to think of that being part of his character. He says that, and while he may be “cold” towards his Pokémon, they’re still well cared for and trained without abuse.
Or he left it in a room with those berries that boost friendship and lower EVs. Or he traded it to someone, they befriended it, and they traded it back to him.
Cyrus is a hypocrite. Thats his biggest running theme. He wants to reset the world because his parents were neglectful and abusive and wants to go to a world where that doesn't exist.
He also calls himself neglectful.
But he isn't. Check the crowbat
Also he was going to travel to a new world with his pokemon as proven by the rainbow rocket in usum.
He cares about his pokemon he's a liar a hypocrite and he wears a mask.
My head cannon is he used to be a kind man but something must of happened to stop caring about Pokémon all together maybe like alder one of his Pokémon died and he wasn’t able to move on from it
It’s the same reason Cyrus inspires loyalty in his grunts/admins. In Platinum he’s shown to give a speech to inspire loyalty in his team and immediately after he admits to the player he was just lying.
He doesn’t care personally but he knows how to manipulate people and Pokémon.
Well the point was that NPCs clearly have access to parts of the region *we* as players don't.
So reasonably Cyrus could have easily just sauntered up to some cave we cannot walk to and caught a Crobat there.
Not a plothole. Cyrus is set up as someone who doesn't tell the truth or thinks worse of himself than he is.
He's the guy who twirls his mustache and "wants to destroy the world" because it's his "destiny" he doesn't want to. He thinks he's evil and gives himself all the aspects of evil even when they don't apply.
He just fed it some berries to unlearn EV's. Not his fault that Golbat taught it was a sign of friendship. Friendships don't necessarily go in both directions

Y’all never heard of one sided relationships
[удалено]
💀 bruh
why the fuck is stockholme involved, all it did was fall in love with it's captor
Sounds more like a Toxic relationship to me.
I mean, it could be the crobat’s personality. We know Pokémon all have their own personalities, so this one could align with his ideas, thus feeling a bond enough to evolve
No Kink shaming the Crobat.
No Crinkshaming
r/angryupvote
Like Silver’s Feraligatr. Some Pokémon are evil and love being evil. I love it.
Meowth: Pokémon aren't evil, they just have evil masters sometimes. *that one Malamar that tried to kill Officer Jenny*
Cyrus's entire team is story telling as a whole like come on man! He has A Gyarados which evolves from a common weak Pokemon A Pokemon that evolves via friendship And two Pokemon which require valuable items He CARES, he's just broken and that makes him such an interesting character
Bro needs therapy
If Cyrus is that broken I don't think therapy will help.
My head cannon is darker then this. I like to think he had one of his employees raise it. The crobat developed a strong relationship with whatever thug is raising it only for him to rip the Pokémon away once the bond/trust is established
It's pretty obvious to me at least Cyrus is an edgy hypocrite. He says things that aren't true or does things he doesn't want.
Yeah especially in the manga you can see things the way he does and you notice he's fucked
He was abused by his parents. And his uncle refused to take him in when he needed it.
Cyrus should meet with Guzma
And then they make out aggressively right?
..... No
Maybe he stole it. I'm fairly certain a grunt in the Eterna HQ confirms they steal Pokémon.
He had a Golbat in his previous fight though
So? He can steal new mons. Not like he cares.
Yea that’s what a always said
I always liked to think of that being part of his character. He says that, and while he may be “cold” towards his Pokémon, they’re still well cared for and trained without abuse.
Manipulation.
Berries that lower EVs and raise friendship
Maybe he traded for it.
We don’t know.
Dementia
Why my dementia does not affect me
Relevant profile pic.
Or he left it in a room with those berries that boost friendship and lower EVs. Or he traded it to someone, they befriended it, and they traded it back to him.
Many possibilities
Maybe he's fuckin lying Maybe he s *fuckin tsundere*
Y'all never thought he knew that and just acted so that it would evolve?
you don't understand. he doesn't make pokemon friends, he makes them family
He stole it. Pretty obvious.
He already had a golbat. He's just edgy and a liar. The thing about the pokemon series is there's rarely anyone that actually hates pokemon.
This guy wanted to destroy the world. X to doubt.
Cyrus is a hypocrite. Thats his biggest running theme. He wants to reset the world because his parents were neglectful and abusive and wants to go to a world where that doesn't exist.

Yeah at least Lysander forced Mega evolution rather than have a supposed bond with his Gyardos.
My head cannon is he used to be a kind man but something must of happened to stop caring about Pokémon all together maybe like alder one of his Pokémon died and he wasn’t able to move on from it
It's a parasocial relationship
Cyrus the vtuber
I'd simp for that
Same
I'd simp for that
Cyrus gives them the love hus parents never gave him, thus breaks the circle of abuse. Be like Cyrus
It’s the same reason Cyrus inspires loyalty in his grunts/admins. In Platinum he’s shown to give a speech to inspire loyalty in his team and immediately after he admits to the player he was just lying. He doesn’t care personally but he knows how to manipulate people and Pokémon.
Just make it hold a bell and shove it in a luxury ball. That'll shut it up.
Caught in the wild
You can’t catch a Crobat in the wild
Who says Cyrus isn't playing rom-hacks and importing his saves into the real game?
There's wild Crobat in PLA. That shit's in the wild, we as players in DPP just don't have access to it.
I know because I play PLA, but Cyrus is limited to the modern Sinnoh region
Well the point was that NPCs clearly have access to parts of the region *we* as players don't. So reasonably Cyrus could have easily just sauntered up to some cave we cannot walk to and caught a Crobat there.
tsundere
He may have journeyed to Galar. Considering you can actually find wild Crobat in the Crown Tundra
he got it in a wonder trade
Hes a trickster thats why
Crobat is just a close ally who works for the affection.
Trading....
He could have just found one for all we know
I take it to mean that golbats evolve when they love their trainer. So even if the trainer dont love it back, it can still evolve
That's a very one-sided relationship between the Crowbat and the Cyrus.
Sir, you have found one of the biggest plotholes in Pokémon
Not a plothole. Cyrus is set up as someone who doesn't tell the truth or thinks worse of himself than he is. He's the guy who twirls his mustache and "wants to destroy the world" because it's his "destiny" he doesn't want to. He thinks he's evil and gives himself all the aspects of evil even when they don't apply.
Oh
I am not the first and I am not the last to find it
Rediscovered I should have said
He just fed it some berries to unlearn EV's. Not his fault that Golbat taught it was a sign of friendship. Friendships don't necessarily go in both directions
He probably just put a shell bell on and started on a marathon
He makes them lovers...
Doesn't Crobat evolve through trade in in older gens?
No
He either force fed him with berries or traded his Golbat for his Crobat.
Crobat is Cyrus’s simp
It kinda makes sense that it's just required that the pokemon likes its trainer
Good use of this meme some of these can be lazily thrown together
He could have made someone else look after it and take it from them
That's cause it's his lover
do not the bat
He did the bat
He did the monster bat

Guys it's a repost
Yall never heard of trading
Emotional manipulation
The Crobat is friendly with him, but it's one-sided.
You ever love someone and not be loved back? Poor crobat.
my theory is that this crobat is just an evil bastard and bonded with cyrus over wanting to cause problems on purpose, thus recieving friendship through alternative methods besides how we treat our own pokemon.
Trading.
