Zubat (Japanese: ズバット Zubat) is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Golbat starting at level 22, which evolves into Crobat when leveled up with high friendship.
Biology
Zubat is a blue, chiropteran Pokémon. While it lacks eyes, it has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with two sharp teeth on each jaw. A male will have larger fangs than a female. It has purple wing membranes supported by two, elongated fingers, and two long, thin, tails.
Zubat lives in abundance in gloomy caves. It has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils, it instead navigates through dark environments and tight caves with echolocation. As demonstrated in the anime, it will leave its abode at night with a mass of other Zubat in order to seek prey. During the daytime, Zubat sleeps hanging upside down in caves, forests, or under the eaves of old buildings, avoiding sunlight at all costs. Zubat also gather together in groups during the morning in order to stay warm while they sleep. Daylight causes Zubat to become unhealthy, and prolonged exposure can even burn its skin. However, captured and trained Zubat have been recorded as being much more tenacious in the daytime, even when directly exposed to sunbeams. In colder conditions, Zubat gathers with others of its kind for warmth.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Zubat and its evolved forms.
- Zubat's evolutionary family has several similarities with Woobat's. All of the members of both lines are called the Bat Pokémon (excluding Swoobat), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective unevolved states; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully-evolved forms by friendship and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies).
- Zubat and its evolved forms share their category with Woobat. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
- Despite its lack of eyes, Zubat is still capable of learning Mean Look.
- Zubat can be seen as a parallel to Noibat, as they are both Flying-type Pokémon based on bats and can have Infiltrator as a possible Ability. They also share the same base stats, with their Attack and Special Attack switched around.
- Zubat and its evolved forms are the only Poison-type Pokémon in the Flying Egg Group.
Origin
Zubat 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 lack of eyes could be a reference to troglomorphism and may additionally be influenced by the misconception that bats are blind due to their use of echolocation to navigate. The claim that Zubat will suffer burns when exposed to sunlight may be inspired by mythological vampires.
Name origin
Zubat may be a combination of bat and ずばっと zubatto (piercingly).
