Read more ↓Golbat, the Bat Pokémon, is a flying and poison-type creature introduced in Generation I. It is the evolved form of Zubat and evolves further into Crobat when leveled up with high friendship. Golbat is notorious for its relentless pursuit of prey, often draining victims of their blood until they are too weak to resist. They are nocturnal, preferring to hunt in dark caves and forests, where their keen senses of hearing and echolocation allow them to navigate and locate food with precision. In the games, Zubat and Golbat are staple encounters in nearly every cave, making them memorable, if sometimes annoying, for players. Their prevalence in the anime often portrays them as mischievous or formidable opponents. Culturally, Golbat embodies the classic vampire bat archetype, a creature of the night with a formidable bite. Despite their commonality, their evolution into the powerful Crobat makes them a valuable part of many trainer's teams.
