Zubat (Japanese: ズバット Zubat) is a Poison/Flying-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Gender differences

A female has smaller fangs.

Special abilities

Behavior

Habitat

Since Zubat don't prefer sunlight, they can be found quite easily in caves, particularly in caverns with limestone, which enhances their ultrasonic radar.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

At night it goes in search of fruit and Venomoth.

In the anime

Brock had a Zubat that he caught at Mt. Moon. It later evolved into a Golbat and then a Crobat.

One of Brock's love interests, Dr. Anna, used the Supersonic soundwaves made by her Zubat (nicknamed Mimi) to scan her patients in EP156.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Special manga

Zubat makes a cameo in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in Raging Rhydon as a Mt. Moon wild Pokémon.

Game data

Pokédex entries

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation I.
Generation I
Red Forms colonies in perpetually dark places. Uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
Blue
Yellow Emits ultrasonic cries while it flies. They act as a sonar used to check for objects in its way.
Stadium It has neither eyes nor a nose. It emits ultrasonic cries that bounce back to its large ears, enabling it to fly safely.
Generation II
Gold While flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings.
Silver Capable of flying safely in dark places, it emits ultrasonic cries to check for any obstacles.
Crystal During the day, it gathers with others and hangs from the ceilings of old buildings and caves.
Stadium 2 Unknown
Generation III
Ruby Zubat remains quietly unmoving in a dark spot during the bright daylight hours. It does so because prolonged exposure to the sun causes its body to become slightly burned.
Sapphire Zubat avoids sunlight because exposure causes it to become unhealthy. During the daytime, it stays in caves or under the eaves of old houses, sleeping while hanging upside down.
Emerald While living in pitch-black caverns, their eyes gradually grew shut and deprived them of vision. They use ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles.
FireRed It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echo location to flit about in darkness.
LeafGreen It forms colonies in perpetually dark places and uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
Generation IV

Trivia

Zubat and Golbat have been in all region pokedexes

Origin

Name origin

Zubat may be named after a Japanese superhero, Kaiketsu Zubat. It may also be a pun on a combination of the word bat and ずばっと zubatto, which is when an edged tool forcefully pierces something. The sound may be similar to that of leathery wings flapping. Its French name comes from Nosferatu.

Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats.

In other languages

  • German: Zubat
  • French: Nosferapti - Nosferatu is another word for vampire. The rapti part probably comes from the root rapt which relates to predatory characteristics. The "pti" can also come from petit, meaning little, which make sense because the french name of Golbat is Nosferalto, alto meaning high.
  • Korean: 주뱃 Jubaet
