Golbat

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Golbat is a large, blue bat with super long wings. Unlike its pre-evolved form, named Zubat, Golbat has eyes. It also has two long, skinny feet. The most distinct feature of Golbat is its large mouth with four teeth.
===Gender differences===
A female Golbat has smaller teeth than those of a male's.
=== Behavior ===
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. Recently, it has been discovered that Golbat broods will share blood with one another during times of scarcity; however, selfish Golbat that do not share blood when asked will find that other brood members will refuse to share with them in the future. 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. Surprisingly, Golbat are quite adroit on their oddly-shaped feet, which are adapted to create silent footsteps as they sneak up behind sleeping prey.
===Natural abilities===
All Golbat have the ability Inner Focus. Inner Focus allows Golbat to never flinch. Golbat can easily suck blood with its sharp fangs. Blood seems to be Golbat's only food source.
==Evolution==
Golbat evolves from Zubat at level 22, and evolves into Crobat with max Happiness.

===Origin===
Golbat is based on Vampire bats. It possibly gets its -typing because vampire bats secrete a substance from their saliva that prevent blood clots.
