Cry

Golbat (Japanese: ゴルバット Gorubatto) is a Poison/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Golbat is a large, blue bat with super long wings. Unlike its pre-evolved form, named Zubat, Golbat has eyes. It also has two long, skinny feet. The most distinct feature of Golbat is its large mouth with four teeth.

Gender differences

A female Golbat has smaller teeth than those of a male's.

Natural abilities

All Golbat have the ability Inner Focus. Inner Focus allows Golbat to never flinch. Golbat can easily suck blood with its sharp fangs. Blood seems to be Golbat's only food source.

Evolution

Golbat evolves from Zubat at level 22, and evolves into Crobat with max Happiness.

Appearances

Anime

Main article: Brock's Golbat

Golbat's first appearance in the anime was under the ownership of Koga, who used it during his gym battle against Ash's Charmander and lost. Brock would later see his Zubat evolve into Golbat in Hassle in the Castle.

Trivia

Until Generation IV, Golbat and Zubat were unable to know Fly, despite possessing wings.
Golbat is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex to evolve into a Pokémon from a later Generation.
After Pokémon Yellow, Golbat's long tongue was removed.
Golbat and its evolutionary family (Zubat & Crobat) are in every regional pokedex from Kanto to Alola.

Etymology

Golbat comes from goliath and bat.

Origins

Golbat is based off of a vampire bat. It possibly gets its Poison typing because vampire bats secrete a substance from their saliva that prevent blood clots.
