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

Biology

Physiology

Zubat is a small, blue bat-like Pokémon. It has two long, skinny tails. Zubat's face lacks any eyes and a nose. The insides of Zubat's ears and undersides of its wings are purple.

Gender differences

A female has smaller fangs.

Special abilities

Though blind, they get around well with echolocation. They can also confuse foes with their high-pitched squeals.

Behavior

Habitat

File:Cave.gif
Cave Pokémon

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

File:EP006 002.jpg
A group of Zubat.

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 Hassle in the Castle.

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 While flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings.
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
Diamond Even though it has no eyes, it can sense obstacles using ultrasonic waves it emits from it mouth.
Pearl Disliking sunlight, it sleeps deep in forests and caves until sundown.

Trivia

  • Zubat and Golbat have been in all regional Pokédexes.
  • Oddly, Zubat can learn Mean Look though it has no eyes.
  • Zubat is the last Pokémon in alphabetical order.
  • Zubat's Gold sprite has a coloring error: the rear of the left wing should be dark blue and not light purple. This was corrected for the Crystal version of the sprite.

Origin

Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats.

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.

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
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 超音蝠 (Chao Yin Fu) - Chinese for "supersonic bat".
  • Chinese (Hong Kong): 波音蝠 (Po Yin Fu) - Chinese for "soundwave bat".
