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.

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).
