Strategy Overview

Zubat is definitely an underappreciated threat in Little Cup, as with incredible STAB and a pretty good movepool, it can be quite an asset to its team. While there are several Flying-types that outclass it, this little guy has a high enough Attack stat that makes switching into its Brave Bird a tall task. Additionally, Zubat has a number of unique characteristics to its name, with its most useful attribute coming in the form of a 4x resistance to Fighting-type moves.
