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 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 also walk skillfully on the ground.

Golbat's fangs have hollow tubes 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. 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 also willing to share gathered blood with other members of its kind that are hungry. 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 and its evolutionary relatives share their category with Woobat. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
  • Golbat and its other evolutionary forms are the only Pokémon (other than Mew) that are capable of learning Brave Bird whose designs aren't at least partially inspired by birds.
  • The depiction of Golbat's large tongue has been sporadic, having not appeared in any game in over a decade:
    • The only core series games to depict its tongue were Pokémon Red and Blue.
    • The last game to ever depict its tongue was Pokémon Battle Revolution.

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 derived from gollop, a variation of gulp (to eat or drink quickly or greedily; referring to its appetite for blood) and bat. It could also be a shortening of golden-capped fruit bat.
