==Biology==
==Biology==
Golbat is a large, blue bat-like Pokémon with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes with slit pupils and a massive mouth containing four fangs; females have smaller fangs than males. These fangs are sharp enough to pierce thick hide, and have hollow tubes specialized for sucking blood; however, they are also fragile. While its mouth seems to be otherwise empty, Golbat occasionally displays a long, purple tongue. Its pointed ears are tiny, and it has short legs with long, thin feet.
Golbat is a large, blue, {{wp|bat|chiropteran}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes with slit-like pupils, along with tiny triangular ears with purple insides, and a massive mouth with two fangs in each jaw. The fangs are smaller on a female Golbat. While its mouth seems to be otherwise empty, Golbat occasionally displays a long, purple tongue. It has short legs with long, tiny feet. Despite this, Golbat can walk skillfully on the ground.


It feeds on the blood of both Pokémon and humans, and is capable of drinking over 10 ounces (300 mL) of blood in one sitting. Golbat drinks so much blood that its blood type will change to that of its victim following a feed. It is also gluttonous, occasionally gorging itself to the extent that it becomes too heavy to fly, leaving itself vulnerable in turn. Golbat is nocturnal, and can be found quite easily in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.
Golbat's fangs have hollow tubes (similar to straws) specialized for sucking blood. While they are strong enough to pierce thick hide, they are also unexpectedly fragile. There are some Golbat that have missing fangs as a result of their hunger-fueled attempt to try drinking blood from {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. Golbat feeds on the blood of both Pokémon and humans and is capable of drinking over 10 ounces (300 milliliters) of blood in one sitting. It is gluttonous, and drinks so much blood that its blood type will change to that of its victim following a feed. It occasionally gorges itself to the extent that it becomes too heavy to fly, leaving itself vulnerable in turn. However, it is also willing to share gathered blood with other members of its kind that are hungry. [[Koga's Golbat|One particular Golbat]] could utilize {{m|Supersonic}} to produce a magic mirror in its mouth for scrying to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. Golbat is nocturnal and can be found quite easily in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

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

It evolves from Zubat starting at level 22 and evolves into Crobat when leveled up with high friendship.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Golbat is a large, blue, chiropteran Pokémon with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes with slit-like pupils, along with tiny triangular ears with purple insides, and a massive mouth with two fangs in each jaw. The fangs are smaller on a female Golbat. While its mouth seems to be otherwise empty, Golbat occasionally displays a long, purple tongue. It has short legs with long, tiny feet. Despite this, Golbat can walk skillfully on the ground.

Golbat's fangs have hollow tubes (similar to straws) specialized for sucking blood. While they are strong enough to pierce thick hide, they are also unexpectedly fragile. There are some Golbat that have missing fangs as a result of their hunger-fueled attempt to try drinking blood from Steel-type Pokémon. Golbat feeds on the blood of both Pokémon and humans and is capable of drinking over 10 ounces (300 milliliters) of blood in one sitting. It is gluttonous, and drinks so much blood that its blood type will change to that of its victim following a feed. It occasionally gorges itself to the extent that it becomes too heavy to fly, leaving itself vulnerable in turn. However, it is also willing to share gathered blood with other members of its kind that are hungry. One particular Golbat could utilize Supersonic to produce a magic mirror in its mouth for scrying to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. Golbat is nocturnal and can be found quite easily in caves.

Sun Its thick fangs are hollow like straws, making them unexpectedly fragile. These fangs are specialized for sucking blood.
Moon Sometimes they drink so much blood, they can't fly anymore. Then they fall to the ground and become food for other Pokémon.
Ultra Sun Every once in a while, you'll see a Golbat that's missing some fangs. This happens when hunger drives it to try biting a Steel-type Pokémon.
Ultra Moon They can suck down over 10 ounces of blood in one go. They have been known to drink so much blood that they can no longer fly.
Let's Go Pikachu It attacks in a stealthy manner, without warning. Its sharp fangs are used to bite and to suck blood.

Brilliant Diamond It loves the blood of humans and Pokémon. It flies around at night in search of neck veins.
Shining Pearl Once it starts sucking blood, it does not stop until it is full. It flies at night in search of prey.

Trivia

  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Golbat and its evolutionary line.
    • Gobat and Zubat are the only Pokémon introduced in Generation I to currently have a unique type combination.
    • Golbat and its evolutionary line are the only Poison-type Pokémon in the Flying Egg Group.
  • Golbat and its evolutionary line share their category with Woobat. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
  • The depiction of Golbat's large tongue has been sporadic, having not appeared in any game in over a decade:

Origin

Golbat seems to be based on a bat, particularly vampire bats, which bite other animals to feed on their blood. Its Poison type may be inspired by either the anticoagulant properties of vampire bat saliva or the fact that bats are infamous for spreading deadly diseases such as rabies. Its gaping maw could be a caricature of mythological vampires.

Name origin

Golbat may be a combination of gore, ghoul, and bat.
