Zubat, the Bat Pokémon, is a ubiquitous cave-dwelling creature first introduced in Generation I. Known for its distinct lack of eyes, Zubat navigates its dark habitats primarily through echolocation, emitting ultrasonic waves from its mouth. It is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon, evolving into Golbat and then Crobat, a fan-favorite for its speed and design. In the games, Zubat is infamous for its frequent appearances in caves, often encountered in large numbers, a trait that has become a running gag among players. Its prevalence in early game areas makes it one of the most recognizable Pokémon from the Kanto region. In the anime, Zubat and its evolutions have been featured prominently, often as companions to trainers or as wild Pokémon interacting with the main characters. Its unique biology and commonality have cemented its place as an iconic part of the Pokémon franchise, representing the challenges and discoveries awaiting trainers in dark, unexplored areas.
