[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Zubat (Japanese: ズバット Zubat) is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves into Golbat starting at level 22, who evolves into Crobat via happiness.

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

Though blind, they get around well with echolocation. They can also confuse foes with their high-pitched squeals.

Zubat can also attack with its fangs with moves like Bite and Poison Fang. It is also capable of energy-draining moves such as Leech Life and Giga Drain.

Zubat is one of the few Pokémon that can use Air Cutter. Even though Zubat is actually mammalian, it can use Brave Bird.

Behavior

Zubat constantly swarm around caves during the night-time, and hang upside-down when asleep.

Habitat

Since Zubat prefer the dark, they can be found in caves. However, at night, they can be found roaming outside, usually for food.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

At night it goes in search of other Pokémon and sometimes humans to suck blood from.

In the anime

Major appearances

Brock's Zubat

Brock had a Zubat that he caught in Clefairy and the Moon Stone at Mt. Moon. It later evolved into a Golbat and then a Crobat during the Johto saga.

Other

One of Brock's love interests, Dr. Anna, used the Supersonic soundwaves made by her Zubat (nicknamed Mimi) to scan her patients in Hassle in the Castle.

Minor appearances

Like in the games, Zubat are commonly found in any random caves in the anime, and sometimes outdoors at night.

Another group of Zubat appeared in Leading a Stray!.

Pokédex entries

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation I.
Generation I
Red Forms colonies in perpetually dark places. Uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
Blue
Yellow Emits ultrasonic cries while it flies. They act as a sonar used to check for objects in its way.
Stadium It has neither eyes nor a nose. It emits ultrasonic cries that bounce back to its large ears, enabling it to fly safely.
Generation II
Gold While flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings.
Silver Capable of flying safely in dark places, it emits ultrasonic cries to check for any obstacles.
Crystal During the day, it gathers with others and hangs from the ceilings of old buildings and caves.
Stadium 2 While flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings.
Generation III
Ruby 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.
Sapphire 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.
Emerald While living in pitch-black caverns, their eyes gradually grew shut and deprived them of vision. They use ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles.
FireRed It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echo location to flit about in darkness.
LeafGreen It forms colonies in perpetually dark places and uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
Generation IV
Diamond Even though it has no eyes, it can sense obstacles using ultrasonic waves it emits from it mouth.
Pearl Disliking sunlight, it sleeps deep in forests and caves until sundown.
Platinum It checks its surroundings and location using reflections of the ultrasonic waves from its mouth.

Trivia

  • Zubat and its evolution, Golbat, have been in every single regional Pokédex.
  • Zubat is the last Pokémon in alphabetical order.
  • Zubat's Gold sprite has a coloring error: the rear of the left wing should be dark blue and not light purple. This was corrected for the Crystal version of the sprite.
  • To date, every villainous team in the main series of games have had at least one of their members use Zubat and/or one of its evolutionary family members.
  • Zubat is one of the few Pokémon with a Generation III back sprite that is noticeably different from its Generation II back sprite.
  • Before Generation IV, Zubat was the only Template:Type2 to learn Faint Attack through breeding.
  • Zubat is one of three Pokémon with no known eyes, the other two being Staryu and its evolution Starmie.
    • Oddly, it can learn Mean Look though it has no eyes.
  • Zubat is capable of learning Brave Bird despite not actually being based on a bird.

Origin

Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats.

Name origin

Zubat may be a pun on a combination of the word bat and ずばっと zubatto, which is when an edged tool forcefully pierces something.

In other languages

  • German: Zubat
  • 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 (little), to go with the alto (high) in Golbat's French name.
  • 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".
