Read more ↓Zubat, the Bat Pokémon, is a ubiquitous cave dweller introduced in Generation I. It is a dual Poison/Flying-type Pokémon, known for its lack of eyes and reliance on echolocation to navigate dark environments. Zubat evolves into Golbat starting at level 22, which then evolves into Crobat with high friendship. Its natural habitat spans across virtually every region in the Pokémon world, making it one of the most commonly encountered Pokémon, particularly in caves and dark areas. Zubat's diet primarily consists of the blood of other creatures, which it extracts using its sharp fangs. In the games, Zubat is often a recurring annoyance due to its frequent appearances and ability to inflict status conditions like confusion and poison. In the anime, Zubat and its evolutions have been featured prominently, often as wild Pokémon or as part of a trainer's team, such as Brock's, who famously owned a Zubat that evolved into a Crobat. Its consistent presence across generations and media has solidified its status as an iconic, if sometimes frustrating, part of the Pokémon ecosystem, representing the challenges and discoveries within the franchise's many caves.
