Generation V identity and base stats

Golbat is Unova #062 and National #42. Its Black 2/White 2 typing is Poison / Flying. These figures describe its standard Generation V form on the original Nintendo DS cartridges. Later Fairy typing and later stat increases are excluded.

The picture shows the standard Generation V form; gender, seasonal or alternate battle forms may look different.

Where to obtain it in Black 2 and White 2

Check the version, area and encounter method before travelling. A gift, trade, Hidden Grotto or stationary interaction is different from ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching recorded slots under the same condition.

The following records use only Black 2 and White 2. Seasons and special requirements remain separate. Postgame areas require the appropriate story access; these records do not imply every location is open on a fresh save.

Evolution family and Generation V requirements

Golbat regional evolution family
From	Into	Black 2 / White 2 method
Zubat	Golbat	Level 22
Golbat	Crobat	Level up with friendship of at least 220 (Generation V)

Friendship evolution uses the Generation V threshold of 220. Trades need a compatible second game and system. Eevee’s rock evolutions, magnetic evolutions, learned-move requirements and held-item night evolutions follow their original DS methods.

Abilities, breeding and training reference

Golbat Generation V ability slots
Ability	Slot / availability
Inner Focus	Regular ability slot 1
Infiltrator	Hidden slot; use a documented source for availability

A Hidden Ability slot does not guarantee an ordinary wild specimen. Hidden Grottos, specific sequel gifts, historical Dream World / Dream Radar access and external specimens have different requirements. Some Generation V slots, including the Unova starter Hidden Abilities and Litwick-line Shadow Tag, were never officially released in that generation.

Golbat breeding and training facts
Property	Value
Gender ratio	50% female / 50% male
Egg group(s)	Flying
Base hatch cycles	15
Experience growth	Medium Fast
Base capture rate	90 / 255 (not a percentage chance)
EV yield when defeated	Speed +2

The Route 3 Day Care is reached after the Hall of Fame in the sequels. Undiscovered species cannot produce Eggs. Baby forms that require an incense need the correct held item on a parent; breeding an evolved parent does not always yield its earliest Pokédex stage.

Every row is filtered to the Black 2/White 2 version group. Level 1 entries include starting or reminder moves; a later caught specimen need not know every listed move. Evolution timing changes which form learns a move. The Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Egg moves and sequel Move Tutors

No Black 2/White 2 Egg moves are recorded for this form.

Recorded Black 2/White 2 tutor compatibility: Giga Drain, Heat Wave, Roost, Sleep Talk, Snatch, Snore, Super Fang, Tailwind, Uproar, Zen Headbutt.

Tutor compatibility does not mean every move is taught by a shard tutor. Starter ultimate moves, pledge moves and species-specific services have their own conditions.

Use Golbat’s Black 2 or White 2 method and condition. Version-specific catches, postgame breeding and historical distribution requirements need their own collection plan.
