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.
Biology
Golbat is a large, blue bat-like Pokémon with purple wing membranes. It has small, slit-pupiled eyes, 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 feet.
Golbat's fangs have hollow tubes specialized for sucking blood. While they are strong enough to pierce thick hide, they are also unexpectedly fragile. It feeds on the blood of both Pokémon and humans and is capable of drinking over 10 ounces (300 milliliters) 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 caves.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Golbat and its evolutionary relatives.
- Golbat, along with Zubat, has appeared in every regional Pokédex. This is due to the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
- Golbat shares its category with Zubat, Crobat, and Woobat. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
Origin
Golbat is based on vampire bats, which produce toxic saliva with anticoagulant properties that is secreted when biting prey to draw blood. Its gaping maw seems to be a caricature of mythological vampires.
Name origin
Golbat's name may originate from the word "gollop", which means "to eat or drink quickly or greedily," and bat.
