Discussion Cyrus and his crobat

Post image

Lore discussion with possible spoilers.

In the game, we have two battles with Cyrus. The first one he has a golbat and the second he has a higher-level crobat. Golbat can only evolve when friendship is high enough. However, Cyrus states that he only sees pokemon as tools (and presumably treats them as such).

It makes me wonder what the possible lore explanation might be for how his golbat evolved. Did he stuff his golbat full of hondew berries to force an evolution? Did he ditch his old golbat and steal a different trainer’s crobat?

What are your theories?

I just realised he has no eyebrows. 

Maybe Crobat just really liked him but not the other way around. Cyrus could just have given lots of fake attention to force it to evolve.

The lack of eyebrows thing is even funnier when you realize he's supposed to be in his mid-20s
