It evolves into Golbat starting at level 22, which then evolves into Crobat with high friendship. Zubat is a common sight in caves across many regions, where it uses echolocation to navigate in the dark due to its lack of eyes. Its diet primarily consists of the blood of other creatures, which it extracts using its sharp fangs. In the Pokémon games, Zubat is often encountered as one of the first cave-dwelling Pokémon, sometimes to the frustration of players due to its frequent appearances. In the anime, Jessie of Team Rocket famously owned a Zubat that later evolved into Golbat and then Crobat, showcasing its loyalty and evolution. Zubat's design is iconic, representing the classic bat archetype within the Pokémon world, and its prevalence in early game areas has cemented its place in the franchise's history and cultural consciousness. Its evolutionary line, particularly Crobat, is also notable for its speed and utility in battle.
