Woobat is a [Psychic](https://pokee.si/types/psychic)/[Flying](https://pokee.si/types/flying)-type Pokémon, the Bat Pokémon, number 527 (#0527) in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation 5 and comes from the [Unova](https://pokee.si/guide/regions/unova) region. It is 0.4 m tall and weighs 2.1 kg.

Woobat is the Bat Pokémon, a fluffy blue ball with a heart-shaped nose that sticks to cave walls and leaves little hearts behind. The Pokédex says the mark it leaves on a person is said to bring good fortune.

## Lore

### Biology

Woobat is a round blue Pokémon covered in shaggy fur, with a large, piggish nose that has a heart-shaped nostril, tufts of fur hiding its eyes, a single fang and two small black wings. It senses its surroundings with ultrasonic waves from its nose, and suction from the nose holds it to cave walls as it sleeps. It is 0.4 m tall and weighs 2.1 kg.

### Behaviour

Woobat flutters through dark places, and the Sword Pokédex says a cave wall lined with heart-shaped marks shows that many live there.

### Habitat

The Pokédex lists dark forests and caves as its home. In Galar it is in the Galar Mine, Watchtower Ruins, Bridge Field and Giant's Mirror, with Max Raid Battles and more in the expansion passes. Bulbapedia lists it as unobtainable in Scarlet and Violet and Legends: Z-A.

### Diet

It hunts Bug Pokémon, the Shield Pokédex says, tracking them with its ultrasonic waves.

### Powers

Unaware ignores an opponent's stat changes, Klutz stops it using held items, and the hidden Simple doubles its own stat changes. It learns Confusion, Air Slash, Psychic and Calm Mind. With 72 base Speed but only 45 base Attack and 43 base Defense it is fast and frail.

### Name origin

Woobat may combine 'woo' and 'bat', and perhaps 'wool' for its woolly look. The Japanese name is Koromori (コロモリ), possibly from kokoro (heart) or korokoro (the sound of lightly rolling) and komori (bat).

### Design inspiration

Woobat looks like a Honduran white bat, and Bulbapedia notes that its round, fluffy shape matches how those bats huddle together. It may also be a literal take on a heart-nosed bat, and the fur over its eyes may nod to the myth that bats are blind. These are fan readings.

### Evolution notes

Woobat evolves into Swoobat when levelled up with high friendship.

### In the games

Woobat is a cave dweller across regions: Wellspring Cave, Mistralton Cave and Twist Mountain in Black and White, its debut games, and Reflection Cave, Glittering Cave and the Flying-type Friend Safari in X and Y.

### In the anime

Jessie caught a Woobat in a cave in 'Enter Iris and Axew!', where it beat Ash's newly caught Pidove before losing to Oshawott. She had to hand it over to Giovanni as proof that Team Rocket had achieved something in Unova.

### Fun facts

- Karl, a character in the film Zoroark: Master of Illusions, wears a cap with a Woobat on it, which Bulbapedia says was the first hint that Woobat existed.
- Bulbapedia says it is the only unevolved Pokémon to have its base stats raised in Generation VII.
- Like Zubat's line, the Woobat line reaches its final form through friendship, and both have green Shiny forms.
