Yeah, this. Fucking zubats. They're not even challenging, just fucking annoying. Every cave you go in will be filled with them. They won't actually hurt you, just delay your progress. And you practically trip over them, so every fight ends up feeling the same. At worst, they'll confuse or poison you're Pokemon, making the ordeal even more tedious.
But golbat is even worse. Everything annoying about zubat applies to golbat. However, golbat isn't just annoying. He can actually be a major threat. Most of his attacks have a high chance of poisoning, hypnotizing, confusing, or paralyzing your Pokemon. Any Pokemon that isn't as fast as him is guaranteed to get nailed with a status effect. And when that happens, the fight is usually prolonged even more while your Pokemon alternate between stumbling around like idiots and being incapable of movement. During this time golbat will just beat on them and pile on more status effects. And unlike zubat, he usually isn't easily disposed of unless you have super effective moves. So get used to this bastard inconveniencing you everytime you go into a cave near the end of the game. And since victory road is always packed to the brim with these guys, you're in for long long, miserable journey. By the end just the mere sight of golbat will fill you with rage.
Fuck you golbat.
