Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Red and Blue
- Forms colonies in perpetually dark places. Uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
- Pokémon Yellow
- Emits ultrasonic cries while it flies. They act as a sonar used to check for objects in its way.

- Pokémon Crystal
- During the day, it gathers with others and hangs from the ceilings of old buildings and caves.
- Pokémon 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.
- Pokémon 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.
- Pokémon Emerald
- While living in pitch-black caverns, their eyes gradually grew shut and deprived them of vision. They use ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles.
- Pokémon FireRed
- It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echo location to flit about in darkness.
- Pokémon LeafGreen
- It forms colonies in perpetually dark places and uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
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. The sound may be similar to that of leathery wings flapping. Its French name comes from Nosferatu.
Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats.

Type effectivenessLearnsetIn the anime
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 EP156.
