Strategy & play
How Koga's Zubat plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is search / tutoring. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥20 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Koga's Zubat
- Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥20 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.

How can I tell if my Koga's Zubat is real?

Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
