Strategy Overview
Zubat has abysmal stats and a movepool that is not much better. Zubat is impressively weak even with Brave Bird, and it is so frail that even switching into Fighting-types and their coverage moves is difficult. Similarly, despite being a Poison-type, Zubat struggles to even beat Snubbull and Spritzee, as it lacks a viable Poison-type STAB move. With Vullaby, Doduo, and Rufflet available in the tier, there is no reason to attempt to use Zubat, as they are all much stronger.
