}}'''Zubat''' (ズバット ''Zubat'') is a {{type|Poison}}/{{type|Flying}} Bat [[Pokémon]]. It is commonly found in caves and at night, disliking the sunlight. It evolves into [[Golbat]] starting at level 22, which evolves into [[Crobat]] via [[Happiness]]. In the games and anime, Zubat is found virtually in every cave, making it very annoying for players looking for rarer [[Pokémon]]. In [[Pokémon]] Black and White, Zubat is not found within the main game, but can be obtained via Dream World.
  +
  +
==Appearance==
  +
Zubat resembles a blue bat. It has a short, round body, purple wings, and slim legs missing feet. Zubat has no eyes, so it uses sound waves to navigate, like a real bat does. Strangely, it can use the move [[Mean Look]], despite not having any eyes.
  +
  +
==Special Abilities==
  +
Zubat has the ability [[Inner Focus]] and the hidden ability [[Infiltrator]]. Inner Focus prevents Zubat from flinching. Infiltrator prevents the effects of [[Reflect]], [[Magic Coat]], and [[Light Screen]] to work.
