Golbat

Description

Golbat #111 from the Paradox Rift expansion is a staple Darkness-type card for Pokémon TCG collectors. Released in 2023, this Stage 1 Pokémon evolves from Zubat and features an 80 HP stat line that balances early-game presence with strategic utility. The card showcases the signature reverse holo treatment, providing a shimmering foil effect that contrasts against the standard card background, a finish highly valued by those completing the SV4 set. Mechanically, Golbat offers the Leech Life attack, dealing 30 damage while allowing the player to heal their own Active Pokémon by the same amount. This self-sustaining ability makes it a reliable choice for aggressive strategies that rely on maintaining board presence. With a retreat cost of only one Colorless energy, Golbat can easily switch positions to absorb damage or attack from the bench, adding tactical flexibility to any deck. Artwork by Eri Yamaki brings this classic Pokémon to life, capturing its distinct silhouette and predatory nature. The card is marked with the Regulation Mark G, ensuring it remains legal for current tournament play. For collectors building their Paradox Rift collection, this reverse holo version offers a visually appealing alternative to the common print run. Whether you are a longtime fan or new to the hobby, adding this Golbat to your portfolio connects you to the enduring legacy of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Paradox Rift set continues to expand the universe with diverse Pokémon, and Golbat stands as a recognizable and functional piece of that narrative.
