Forms colonies in perpetually dark places. Uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
Blue
Yellow
Emits ultrasonic cries while it flies. They act as a sonar used to check for objects in the way.
Gold
While flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings.
Silver
Capable of flying safely in dark places, it emits ultrasonic cries to check for any obstacles.
Crystal
During the day, it gathers with others and hangs from the ceilings of old buildings and caves.
Ruby
ZUBAT remains quietly unmoving in a dark spot during the bright daylight hours. It does so because prolonged exposure to the sun causes its body to become slightly burned.
Sapphire
ZUBAT avoids sunlight because exposure causes it to become unhealthy. During the daytime, it stays in caves or under the eaves of old houses, sleeping while hanging upside down.
Emerald
While living in itch-black caverns, their eyes gradually grew shut and deprived them of vision. They use ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles.
FireRed
It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echo location to flit about in darkness.
LeafGreen
Forms colonies in perpetually dark places. Uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
Diamond
Even though it has no eyes, it can sense obstacles using ultrasonic waves it emits from its mouth.
Pearl
Disliking sunlight, it sleeps deep in forests and caves until sundown.
Platinum
It checks its surroundings and location using reflections of the ultrasonic waves from its mouth.
Stadium 1
It has neither eyes nor a nose. It emits ultrasonic cries that bounce back to its large ears, enabling it to fly safely.
Stadium 2
While flying, it constantly emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings.
TCG
Zubat: Lives in dark caves. Can occasionally be seen at night, when it flies in search of food.
As long as the user remains in battle, the target cannot switch out unless it uses Baton Pass. The target will still be trapped if the user switches out by using Baton Pass.
As long as the user remains in battle, the target cannot switch out unless it uses Baton Pass. The target will still be trapped if the user switches out by using Baton Pass.
As long as the user remains in battle, the target cannot switch out unless it is holding Shed Shell or uses Baton Pass or U-Turn. The target will still be trapped if the user switches out by using Baton Pass.
When used by a Ghost-type, the user sacrifices half of its max HP to sap the target by 1/4 of its max HP per turn. When used by anything else, the user's Speed is decreased by 1 stage and its Attack and Defense are increased by 1 stage.
Almost always goes last; in trainer battles, the target is switched out for a random member of its team. Escapes from wild battles. Has no effect if the target has Suction Cups or used Ingrain.
When used by a Ghost-type, the user sacrifices half of its max HP to sap the target by 1/4 of its max HP per turn. When used by anything else, the user's Speed is decreased by 1 stage and its Attack and Defense are increased by 1 stage.
If the target switches out on the current turn, this move strikes with doubled power before the switch. Baton Passers still escape safely. When a faster Pokemon uses Pursuit against a U-Turner, the U-Turner is hit for normal damage; when a slower Pokemon uses Pursuit against a U-Turner, the U-Turner makes its attack, then is hit by Pursuit for double power, and switches out.
Almost always goes last; in trainer battles, the target is switched out for a random member of its team. Escapes from wild battles. Has no effect if the target has Suction Cups or used Ingrain.
Almost always goes first. The user is left with at least 1 HP following any attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure.
Does nothing if the user is awake. If the user asleep, it randomly performs one of its attacks. Rest will fail if it is selected. Sleep Talk's generated attacks do not cost PP, but it cannot generate moves with 0 PP, itself, Assist, Bide, Disabled attacks, Focus Punch, Metronome, Mirror Move, Uproar, or attacks with a charge-up turn like Fly or Skull Bash. (Moves with a recharge turn like Hyper Beam can be generated.)
This move is temporarily replaced by the target's last move; the replacement move will have 5 PP and become part of the user's moveset until the user switches out or the battle ends. Mimic copies attacks even if they miss or the user has immunity toward their type; it cannot copy itself, Struggle, Transform, Sketch, Metronome or moves that the user already knows, and it will fail if the target has yet to use a move.
The user takes one-fourth of its maximum HP to create a substitute; this move fails if the user does not have enough HP for this. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon and shields the user from status effects and stat modifiers caused by other Pokemon. The user is still affected by Tickle, Hail, Sandstorm and Attract from behind its Substitute. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes.
The user causes an Uproar and attacks uncontrollably for 2-5 turns. During the effects of the Uproar, active Pokemon cannot fall asleep and sleeping Pokemon sent into battle will wake up.
Speed is doubled for every Pokemon on the user's team for three turns; the turn used to perform Tailwind is included in this total, as are any turns used to switch around Pokemon.
The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. However, Toxic poisoning will revert to normal poisoning if the poisoned Pokemon is switched out or uses Haze. Damage caused by Leech Seed will also increase as Toxic damage increases.
The user attacks uncontrollably until it faints or its target faints. During this time, the user's Attack increases by 1 stage for each time it is hit by the target. If this move misses, the user continues to attack but has only a 1/256 chance to land a hit.
This move is temporarily replaced by one of the target's moves; after one PP is subtracted to use this move, the replacement move will retain Mimic's remaining PP. The user can select any of the target's moves to copy until the end of the battle or until the user switches out. There are no move restrictions on Mimic other than itself and Struggle. However, in a link battle, Mimic will copy one of the target's attacks randomly.
The user absorbs all damage for 2-3 turns and then inflicts twice the absorbed damage on its target. This move ignores the target's type but still cannot hit Ghost-type Pokemon.
The user is cured of status effects (and confusion), and recovers full HP, but falls asleep for 2 turns (and then uses a third turn to wake up). However, this move fails if the user's current HP is 511 or 255 HP below its value at full health.
The user takes one-fourth of its maximum HP to create a substitute; this move fails if the user does not have enough HP for this. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon. In-game, the user can still be inflicted with status effects and stat modifiers from other Pokemon, but this is fixed in Pokemon Stadium. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes.
When used by a Ghost-type, the user sacrifices half of its max HP to sap the target by 1/4 of its max HP per turn. When used by anything else, the user's Speed is decreased by 1 stage and its Attack and Defense are increased by 1 stage.
The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. However, Toxic poisoning will revert to normal poisoning if the poisoned Pokemon is switched out.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: freezing is prevented, the power of Fire attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Water attacks is decreased by 50%, Solarbeam fires immediately, Thunder becomes 50% accurate, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is doubled.
Almost always goes first. The user is left with at least 1 HP following any attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure.
Does nothing if the user is awake. If the user asleep, it randomly performs one of its attacks. If Rest is selected, user recovers its HP and stays asleep for two more turns. Sleep Talk can choose an attack that has run out of PP; the generated attacks also do not cost PP, and it cannot generate itself, Bide, Disabled attacks or two-turn attacks with a charge-up turn like Fly or Skull Bash. (Moves with a recharge turn like Hyper Beam can be generated.)
The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. Toxic poisoning will remain with the Pokemon during the battle even after switching out.

For 5 turns: freezing is prevented, the power of Fire attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Water attacks is decreased by 50%, Solarbeam fires immediately, Thunder becomes 50% accurate, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is increased from 1/2 to 2/3 of the user's max HP.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: the power of Water attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Fire attacks is decreased by 50%, Thunder becomes 100% accurate, the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is decreased from 1/2 to 1/4 of the user's max HP.
Prevents the target from using the same move for two turns in a row until the target is switched out. The target will use Struggle every other turn if it cannot attack without using the same move.
This move has a 30% chance to inflict a side effect depending on the battle's current terrain. The target may be put to sleep in any type of grass (or in puddles and very shallow water), its Attack may be lowered by 1 stage while surfing on river or ocean water, its Defense may be lowered by 1 stage while diving underwater, its Speed may be lowered by 1 stage while surfing on pond water, its Accuracy may be lowered by 1 stage on beach and desert sand, it may flinch in caves, it may become confused on rocky outdoor terrain, it may be poisoned on ashy terrain and it may become paralyzed everywhere else (including link battles).
The user is cured of status effects (and confusion), and recovers full HP, but falls asleep for 2 turns. Pokemon who have Early Bird will wake up one turn early.
Almost always goes first. Until the end of the turn, the user will steal a supporting move from another Pokemon (including teammates). In double battles, Snatch only steals the first applicable move performed by another Pokemon before wearing off.
The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. Toxic poisoning will remain with the Pokemon during the battle even after switching out.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: freezing is prevented, the power of Fire attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Water attacks is decreased by 50%, Solarbeam fires immediately, Thunder becomes 50% accurate, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is increased from 1/2 to 2/3 of the user's max HP. The effects of Sunny Day will last for eight turns if its user is holding Heat Rock.
Almost always goes first. The user is protected from all attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure. If a Pokemon has No Guard, or used Lock-On or Mind Reader against the user during the previous turn, its attack has a [100 - move's normal accuracy]% chance to hit through Protect; OHKO moves do not benefit from this effect. Blizzard has a 30% to hit through this move during Hail, as does Thunder during Rain Dance.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: the power of Water attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Fire attacks is decreased by 50%, Thunder never misses and has a 30% chance to hit through Protect and Detect, the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is decreased from 1/2 to 1/4 of the user's max HP. The effects of Rain Dance will last for eight turns if its user is holding Damp Rock.
Prevents the target from using the same move for two turns in a row until the target is switched out. The target will use Struggle every other turn if it cannot attack without using the same move.
This move has a 30% chance to inflict a side effect depending on the battle's current terrain. The target may be put to sleep in any type of grass (or in puddles), its Attack may be lowered by 1 stage while surfing on any body of water, its Speed may be lowered by 1 stage while on marshy terrain, its Accuracy may be lowered by 1 stage on beach sand, desert sand and dirt paths, it may flinch in caves or on rocky outdoor terrain, it may become frozen on snowy terrain and it may become paralyzed everywhere else (including Wi-Fi battles).
In Pokemon Battle Revolution, the target's Attack may be lowered by 1 stage at Gateway, its Accuracy may be lowered by 1 stage at Sunset, it may be paralyzed at Courtyard, Main Street and Neon, it may be put to sleep at Sunny Park and Waterfall and it may flinch at Crystal, Magma and Stargazer.
The user is cured of status effects (and confusion), and recovers full HP, but falls asleep for 2 turns. Pokemon who have Early Bird will wake up one turn early.
Steals the target's held item unless the user is already holding an item or the target has Sticky Hold or Multitype. A stolen item cannot be recovered by using Recycle.
Almost always goes first. Until the end of the turn, the user will steal a supporting move from another Pokemon (including teammates). In double battles, Snatch only steals the first applicable move performed by another Pokemon before wearing off.
Almost always goes first. The user is left with at least 1 HP following any attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure.
The user's berry is thrown at the target. This attack's base power and type vary depending on the thrown berry. The berry is gone for the rest of the battle unless Recycle is used; it will return to the original holder after wireless battles but will be permanently lost if it is thrown during in-game battles.
The user eats the target's held berry and, if applicable, receives its benefits. Jaboca Berry will be removed without damaging the user, but Coba Berry will still activate and reduce this move's power. The target can still recover its held berry by using Recycle.
The user switches out after use, even if it is currently trapped by another Pokemon. If the replacement Pokemon knows U-Turn and is holding Choice Band, Choice Lens or Choice Scarf, it will be locked into U-Turn, though Pokemon holding those items who don't know U-Turn can select their attack as normal. When a faster Pokemon uses Pursuit against a U-Turner, the U-Turner is hit for normal damage; when a slower Pokemon uses Pursuit against a U-Turner, the U-Turner makes its attack, then is hit by Pursuit for double power, and switches out.
The user takes one-fourth of its maximum HP to create a substitute; this move fails if the user does not have enough HP for this.

The user is still affected by Tickle, Hail, Sandstorm and Attract from behind its Substitute. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air, becoming uncontrollable, and evades most attacks. Gust, Twister, Thunder and Sky Uppercut have normal accuracy against a mid-air Pokemon, with Gust and Twister also gaining doubled power. The user may also be hit in mid-air if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader or if it is attacked by a Pokemon with No Guard. On the second turn, the user attacks.
The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. Toxic poisoning will remain with the Pokemon during the battle even after switching out.
