Read more ↓Zubat, the Bat Pokémon, is a ubiquitous cave dweller introduced in Generation I. This Flying/Poison-type Pokémon is known for its distinctive lack of eyes, relying instead on ultrasonic waves to navigate its surroundings. Its evolution line begins with Zubat, which evolves into Golbat, and then into Crobat when leveled up with high friendship. Zubat's diet primarily consists of the blood of other creatures, which it extracts using its sharp fangs. It is often encountered in dark places like caves and forests, hanging upside down from ceilings. Zubat's prevalence in early Pokémon games, particularly its frequent appearances in caves, has made it a memorable, if sometimes frustrating, part of many trainers' journeys. Its unique echolocation ability highlights the diverse adaptations found in the Pokémon world, and it has appeared consistently across the main series games, anime, and various spin-offs, often as a common foe or a loyal companion.
