Special abilities[]
Though blind, they get around well with echolocation. They can also confuse foes with their high-pitched squeals.
Behavior[]
Zubat is mostly nocturnal, forming colonies in perpetually dark places and hanging upside-down when asleep. When they awake, Zubat will constantly swarm around caves during the nighttime.
Habitat[]
Since Zubat prefer the dark, their primary habitat is caves, although during the daytime Zubat may also stay under the eaves of old buildings or in forests. However, at night, they can be found roaming outside, usually for food. It has a very wide range which includes Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos and even Orre.
Diet[]
