====History====
Koga's Golbat first made a cameo appearance in ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]'', but it wasn't until [[PS029|15 rounds later]] that Golbat is seen in action. Koga's Golbat is much smaller than the average Golbat. Its {{m|Supersonic}} can be used to create a magic mirror for scrying to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. This is shown when Koga uses it to see what is going on in the [[Pokémon Tower]] without actually being inside.

After Blue defeated Koga at [[Silph Co.]], he stole Golbat to locate {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He later returned it to its rightful owner on [[Cerise Island]]. At the island however, Koga and {{adv|Blue}} were attacked by [[Agatha]], and both are separated. Koga's Golbat ended up with Blue to battle Agatha's Golbat and later her {{p|Arbok}}. After Koga received Golbat again, Koga battled Agatha's Arbok by making use of its {{m|Leech Life}} to suck blood from his body. Koga then told Golbat to spit the blood at Arbok's body, thereby disabling Arbok's ability to change patterns. After knocking out Agatha's {{p|Gengar}}, Blue commanded Golbat to use {{m|Confuse Ray}} to prevent Agatha from escaping into the shadows again.

History

Koga's Golbat first made a cameo appearance in That Awful Arbok!, but it wasn't until 15 rounds later that Golbat is seen in action. Koga's Golbat is much smaller than the average Golbat. Its Supersonic can be used to create a magic mirror for scrying to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. This is shown when Koga uses it to see what is going on in the Pokémon Tower without actually being inside.

Golbat under Blue's ownership

After Blue defeated Koga at Silph Co., he stole Golbat to locate Professor Oak. He later returned it to its rightful owner on Cerise Island. At the island however, Koga and Blue were attacked by Agatha, and both are separated. Koga's Golbat ended up with Blue to battle Agatha's Golbat and later her Arbok. After Koga received Golbat again, Koga battled Agatha's Arbok by making use of its Leech Life to suck blood from his body. Koga then told Golbat to spit the blood at Arbok's body, thereby disabling Arbok's ability to change patterns. After knocking out Agatha's Gengar, Blue commanded Golbat to use Confuse Ray to prevent Agatha from escaping into the shadows again.

Golbat later makes a cameo appearance as a flashback in The Last Battle X, where it was seen trying to save Koga from the collapsing Cerise Island.

Golbat in the Best Wishes series flashback

Koga's Golbat's only appearance was in The Ninja Poké-Showdown. During Koga's and Ash's rematch, Koga sent out Golbat to battle Ash's Charmander. Golbat started with a Wing Attack, moving too fast for Charmander to handle. Though initially unable to keep up with Golbat's speed, Charmander was able to fend it off with an Ember attack. Golbat then used a Screech attack, which, while effective, didn't stop Charmander from retaliating with Flamethrower. After initially evading the flames, Golbat was struck by the attack, after which it succumbed to Charmander's Fire Spin, winning Ash the Soul Badge.

It also reappeared in a flashback in The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!.

Personality and characteristics

Very little is known about Golbat's personality as it was only used in the second part of Ash's Gym battle with Koga. However, it was proven to be a tough opponent, as Charmander was unable to keep up with its speed when it used Wing Attack, as well as how badly its Screech affected not only Charmander, but everyone in the vicinity (except for Koga). Koga was the only one subjected to Golbat's Screech who seemed completely unfazed by the noise, which suggests that the two have a lot of experience battling together.
