Overview |
Like Zubat, Golbat are found in caves and dark areas worldwide. Unlike Zubat, however, Golbat are hematophagous, consuming the blood of Pokémon and humans alike. They use their sharp fangs to puncture the skins of victims. Their saliva contains a substance that poisons and immobilizes prey, allowing them to drink blood at their leisure. Golbat can drink up to 10 ounces of blood in one sitting, possibly fatal for smaller victims. After doing so, however, their flight often becomes clumsy and erratic due to their heavy weights after large meals; they may become so heavy that they fall to the ground (and become easy prey themselves). Luckily, this feasting keeps them satisfied for a while; they only search for food during moonless nights when darkness conceals them. Their fangs are hollow and consequently fragile. Notably, Golbat avoid light, metal (perhaps due to their poison being ineffective against Steel-types), and oddly enough, Durin Berries. While no one is quite sure why, Golbat tend to steer clear of them despite experiencing no ill effects upon consuming them.
