'''Zubat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ズバット ''Zubat'') is a {{2t|Poison|Flying}}-type Pokémon.
 
=Biology=
==Physiology==
Zubat is a small, blue bat-like Pokémon.  It has two long, skinny tails.  Zubat's face lacks any eyes and a nose.  The insides of Zubat's ears and undersides of its wings are purple.
===Gender differences===
 
A female has smaller fangs.
 
===Special abilities===
 
==Behavior==
==Habitat==
[[Image:Cave.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Since Zubat don't prefer sunlight, they can be found quite easily in caves, particularly in caverns with limestone, which enhances their ultrasonic radar.
 
==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''
 
At night it goes in search of fruit and Venomoth.
 
=In the anime=
[[Image:EP006 002.jpg|right|thumb|A group of Zubat.]]
[[Brock]] had a Zubat that he caught at [[Mt. Moon]]. It later evolved into a Golbat and then a [[Brock's Crobat|Crobat]].
 
One of Brock's love interests, [[Dr. Anna]], used the Supersonic soundwaves made by her Zubat (nicknamed Mimi) to scan her patients in ''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]''.
 
=In the manga=
==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Zubat makes a cameo in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' as a [[Mt. Moon]] wild Pokémon.

|gen=1
|type=poison
|redbluedex=Forms colonies in perpetually dark places. Uses [[Supersonic (move)|ultrasonic waves]] to identify and approach targets.
|yellowdex=Emits [[Supersonic (move)|ultrasonic cries]] while it flies. They act as a sonar used to check for objects in its way.
|stadiumdex=It has neither eyes nor a nose. It emits ultrasonic cries that bounce back to its large ears, enabling it to fly safely.
|golddex=While flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings.
|silverdex=Capable of flying safely in dark places, it emits [[Supersonic (move)|ultrasonic]] cries to check for any obstacles.
|crystaldex=During the day, it gathers with others and hangs from the ceilings of old buildings and caves.
|stadium2dex=While flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings.
|rubydex=Zubat remains quietly unmoving in a dark spot during the bright daylight hours. It does so because prolonged exposure to the sun causes its body to become slightly burned.
|sapphiredex=Zubat avoids sunlight because exposure causes it to become unhealthy. During the daytime, it stays in caves or under the eaves of old houses, sleeping while hanging upside down.
|emeralddex=While living in pitch-black caverns, their eyes gradually grew shut and deprived them of vision. They use ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles.
|firereddex=It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echo location to flit about in darkness.
|leafgreendex=It forms colonies in perpetually dark places and uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
|diamonddex=Even though it has no eyes, it can sense obstacles using [[Supersonic (move)|ultrasonic waves]] it emits from it mouth.
|pearldex=Disliking sunlight, it sleeps deep in forests and caves until sundown.

=Trivia=
*Zubat and Golbat have been in all regional [[Pokédex]]es.
*Oddly, Zubat can learn {{m|Mean Look}} though it has no eyes.
==Origin==
Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats.
 
===Name origin===
Zubat may be named after a Japanese superhero, Kaiketsu Zubat.  It may also be a pun on a combination of the word ''[[wp:bat|bat]]'' and ずばっと ''zubatto'', which is when an edged tool forcefully pierces something.
 
==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Zubat
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nosferapti - ''Nosferatu'' is another word for vampire. The ''rapti'' part probably comes from the root ''rapt'' which relates to predatory characteristics. The "pti" can also come from ''petit'', meaning little, which make sense because the French name of Golbat is Nosferalto, ''alto'' meaning high.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 주뱃 ''Jubaet''
*Chinese (Taiwan): 超音蝠 (Chao Yin Fu) - Chinese for "supersonic bat".
*Chinese (Hong Kong): 波音蝠 (Po Yin Fu) - Chinese for "soundwave bat".
