PokeBonk Golbat
Pokemon · Zubat line · last checked 2026-10-20
PokeBonk Golbat is a Poison and Flying Pokemon that you cannot pick at the start of a run: it is the evolved form of Zubat, a League Pokemon. Play Zubat and it evolves into Golbat automatically at player level 36, which raises your HP and damage multiplier to 1.12x. Golbat keeps the Zubat kit and upgrades the Ultimate to Bloody Fang. The line sits in C tier with a Kit Score of 21.7.

How to get Golbat in PokeBonk
You do not unlock Golbat directly. First unlock Zubat through its League challenge and catch it; the PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists the conditions. Then pick Zubat for a run and level up: evolution in a run depends only on your player level, not on stones or trades, so Golbat arrives at level 36.
Each stage adds 0.12 to your HP and damage multiplier, so an evolved form hits harder and takes more hits than the Pokemon you started with. An Eviolite helps until the last stage. See PokeBonk evolution for every line.
Golbat moves and passive
Golbat uses the same four-move kit as Zubat; evolving does not swap moves. Its passive is Vampire: +8% lifesteal and +20% healing.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks |

Golbat Ultimate
At this stage the Ultimate is Bloody Fang, lasting 4.2 seconds: A cloud of Golbat confuses with Supersonic and bites for 4 s; at the end you recover 25% HP. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how to charge it faster.
Golbat evolution levels in PokeBonk
In PokeBonk every evolution happens by player level inside a run, whatever the main games ask for. The Zubat line evolves like this: Zubat evolves into Golbat at level 36.
Golbat stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zubat | 0 | 114 | 8.1 | 1.08x | 1.04x | 0.97x | 1x |
| Golbat | 1 | 128 | 8.5 | 1.06x | 1.03x | 0.99x | 1.12x |
