Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White

It checks its surroundings and location using reflections of the ultrasonic waves from its mouth.

Black 2, White 2

It does not need eyes, because it emits ultrasonic waves to check its surroundings while it flies.

Generation 6
X

Even though it has no eyes, it can sense obstacles using 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.

Omega Ruby

Zubat remains quietly unmoving in a dark spot during the bright daylight hours. It does so because prolonged exposure to the sun causes its body to become slightly burned.

Alpha Sapphire

Zubat avoids sunlight because exposure causes it to become unhealthy. During the daytime, it stays in caves or under the eaves of old houses, sleeping while hanging upside down.

Generation 7
Sun

It sleeps in caves during the day. It has no eyes, so to check its surroundings while flying, it emits ultrasonic waves.

Moon

When exposed to sunlight, they suffer burns. The frequency of their ultrasonic waves can differ slightly from colony to colony.

Ultra Sun

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

Ultra Moon

Their skin is so thin that they’ll be burned if sunlight hits them. When it gets cold out, they gather together to warm one another’s bodies.
