How to unlock Zubat in PokeBonk
Zubat joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Recover 4,000 HP in a single run.
Catching Zubat
Then Zubat can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Zubat moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leech Life | Bug | Physical | Drain | Start | 13 | 1.2 s |
| 2 | Wing Attack | Flying | Physical | Boomerang | Level 2 | 17 | 1.5 s |
| 3 | Poison Fang | Poison | Physical | Strike | Level 4 | 20 | 0.82 s |
| 4 | Air Cutter | Flying | Special | Burst | Level 7 | 6 | 1.01 s |
Zubat passive: Vampire
+8% lifesteal and +20% healing.
Wing Attack, Poison Fang, and Air Cutter match Zubat's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Zubat Ultimate in PokeBonk
Zubat's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zubat | Vampire Swarm | 3.6 s | Seven Zubat emerge from the darkness and bite non-stop for 3.5 s: they poison and every bite heals you. |
| Golbat | Bloody Fang | 4.2 s | A cloud of Golbat confuses with Supersonic and bites for 4 s; at the end you recover 25% HP. |
Zubat evolution levels in PokeBonk

Zubat 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 |
