This card has no retreat cost at all, so it can leave the active spot without discarding any Energy — the only limit is that retreating happens once a turn.

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Is Golbat 50 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 1 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

What does being a Psychic card do for Golbat 50?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 857 cards in the archive that can remove Golbat 50 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Golbatweak to Psychic +20

Golbatresists Fighting -20

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Fighting resistance changes

Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

What is Golbat as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Golbat 50 is one print of Golbat. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Golbat has been printed 26 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Golbat 50 can be?

Golbat evolves from Zubat, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Zubat → Golbat → Crobat

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Zubat.
It is not the end of the line either — Crobat evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 042.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (130 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Golbat print, and can the older ones still be played?

26 prints carry this name in the archive, and 25 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (80 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Pulse Search, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
That works out at 30 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
It cannot start the game in play — Zubat has to be on the field first.

What actually removes it

A Psychic attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 70 HP.
862 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 509 cards in one attack.
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Golbat 50 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Golbat 50?

Golbat 50 has 70 HP and a Psychic weakness at +20, so a Psychic attack printed at 50 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 70.

What is the strongest attack on Golbat 50?

Pulse Search, printed at 30 damage for 1 Energy — 30 damage per Energy card. Look at your opponent's hand.

What is the retreat cost of Golbat 50?

None. Golbat 50 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

Can an older Golbat print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 25 prints listed on this page, 6 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Golbat evolve from?

Zubat. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Golbat 50 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Golbat 50 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
