Zubat's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Zubat's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Zubat's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Zubat is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Pokédex Entries for Zubat

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Sword
It emits ultrasonic waves from its mouth to check its surroundings. Even in tight caves, Zubat flies around with skill.
Shield
Zubat live in caves, down where the sun's light won't reach. In the morning, they gather together to keep each other warm as they sleep.

Ultra Sun
It has no eyeballs, so it can't see. It checks its surroundings via the ultrasonic waves it emits from its mouth.

Y
It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echolocation to flit about in darkness.
