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. Though blind, they get around well with echolocation. They can also confuse foes with their high-pitched squeals. Zubat can also attack with its fangs with moves like Bite, and Poison Fang. Zubat is also capable of energy-draining moves such as Leech Life. Zubat constantly swarm around caves during the night-time, and hang upside-down when asleep. Since Zubat don't prefer sunlight, they can be found quite easily in caves, particularly in caverns with limestone, which enhances their ultrasonic radar. At night it goes in search of other Pokémon, and sometimes humans to suck blood from. Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats. Zubat may 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.
