Crobat's immunity to Ground-type moves and ability to quickly spread Toxic, even through Substitute, is invaluable for Poison teams; it also switches into attacks such as Choice Scarf Landorus-T's Earthquake and Tapu Bulu's High Horsepower that give Poison teams trouble. Brave Bird is Crobat's primary STAB move and allows it to hit foes such as Choice Band Galarian Zapdos, Tapu Bulu, and Tornadus-T, which Poison struggles to deal with long-term. Toxic is great on Crobat, as it allows Poison to make progress against Pokemon it struggles to break through such as Landorus-T, Mantine, and Kyurem. Additionally, paired with Infiltrator, it allows Crobat to use Toxic against prominent Substitute users such as Bulk Up Landorus-T, SubRoost Kyurem, and Nasty Plot Hydreigon. Defog allows Crobat to keep entry hazards off the field, allowing its slower defensive teammates such as Amoonguss and Galarian Slowking to remain healthy throughout the course of the battle. 184 Speed EVs allow Crobat to outspeed Tornadus-T, which lets Crobat catch it with a Toxic or Brave Bird, while the rest of the EVs are put into HP and Special Defense so Crobat can get off a Toxic on SubRoost Kyurem.
Amoonguss appreciates Crobat's Defog, as it can continuously regenerate health with Regenerator and doesn't have to worry about being overwhelmed when helping Crobat by switching into physical attackers Poison struggles with such as Garchomp and Zeraora. Nidoking serves as an excellent teammate, as it also appreciates Crobat's entry hazard removal and deals with Steel- and Electric-types that Crobat can't do anything to such as Celesteela, Ferrothorn, and Tapu Koko. Drapion and Skuntank are both very helpful to Crobat and Poison in general, as they provide a mandatory Psychic immunity, being able to switch into the likes of Hatterene and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Galarian Slowking is a secondary switch-in to Psychic-type moves from Latios and Jirachi; it also deals with special attackers such as Alolan Ninetales and Heatran and can combat Kyurem by itself after Crobat has poisoned it. Toxapex finds itself supporting Poison teams by dealing with setup users such as Swords Dance Weavile, Dragon Dance Dragapult, and Swords Dance Aegislash with Haze. Finally, Nihilego helps defeat Galarian Moltres, as it is able to take both of its attacks and threaten it with Power Gem.
[OTHER OPTIONS]
Poison
--------
U-turn can be opted for instead of Toxic in order to gain more momentum throughout the game and can help get in threats such as Nidoking against Steel- and Flying-type teams. Taunt can also be used over Toxic in order to prevent setup sweepers such as Dragon Dance Dragonite, Gravity Landorus-T, Nasty Plot Hydreigon, and Calm Mind Clefable while also denying Defog from Pokemon such as Tornadus-T.
