    The following chart shows Zubat's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Zubat's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.

    Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Zubat has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

    Zubat in the meta

    Zubat in the meta

    PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

    With extremely low numbers all across its stats, the frustration of landing a throw on Zubat doesn't justify how bad it is for PvE battles like ⚔️ Raids and 🛡️ Gyms!

    PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

    🧸 Little Cup

    A high energy Fast Attack and cheap Charged Attacks hitting out of the blue establish Zubat as a decent addition to the Little League meta, making it good enough to even beat Wynaut and Skarmory! However, its own evolution, Golbat, is among the best Pokémon in this format and Zubat itself is bad against many prominent threats such as Wooper, Deino, Dratini, Ducklett, and Drifloon.

    Zubat’s low stats make it unsuitable for the higher PvP Leagues.
