Read more ↓Zubat, the Bat Pokémon, is a ubiquitous cave dweller first introduced in Generation I. As a Poison/Flying type, it is well-known for its unique biology, particularly its lack of eyes and reliance on echolocation to navigate its environment. Zubat thrives in dark, cavernous areas, often found in large colonies where their ultrasonic cries can be heard echoing through the chambers. Its diet primarily consists of the blood of other creatures, which it extracts using its sharp fangs, a characteristic that has earned it a somewhat fearsome reputation in the Pokémon world. Zubat evolves into Golbat, and then into Crobat when leveled up with high friendship. In the games, Zubat is a common encounter in nearly every cave, often becoming a source of mild frustration for players due to its high encounter rate. In the anime, Zubat and its evolutions have appeared frequently, often as companions to trainers or as wild Pokémon interacting with the main characters. Its design, reminiscent of a classic vampire bat, contributes to its enduring cultural significance as a recognizable symbol of the Pokémon franchise's diverse creature designs.
