Strategy & play
How Golbat plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Inflicts Poison — guaranteed chip damage every turn between turns (no coin flip). It stacks with your attack math to cross KO thresholds the attack alone misses.
- Its main attack (Poison Bite) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥30 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Zubat; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Golbat
- Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥30 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

About this card
"It can drink more than 10 ounces of blood at once. If it has too much, it gets heavy and flies clumsily."
CScreech
Until the end of your next turn, if an attack damages the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack does 20 more damage to the Defending Pokémon.
GCPoison Bite — 10
If this attack damages the Defending Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned and you remove a number of damage counters from Golbat equal to half that damage (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Golbat has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them. Either way, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Golbat is real?
Golbat is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. 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.
