In the anime

In Round One - Begin!, a Golbat was the third Pokémon that Mandi used against Ash Ketchum during the first round of the Indigo League. It was defeated by Ash's Kingler.
Brock had a Golbat that he caught as a Zubat. It eventually evolved into a Crobat.
In the series, Golbat and its relatives were frequently employed by criminal organizations, such as Team Magma (Fight for the Meteorite and The Ribbon Cup Caper (employed by Brodie to escape with Haze after stealing a golden Poké Ball)), Team Galactic (Enter Galactic!, DP096 and DP097), and Pokémon Hunter J's evil cronies (Mutiny in the Bounty, Ill-Will Hunting!, and Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One).
