The Golbat card captures a moment where the Pokémon is poised in mid-flight, its wings spread wide against a dark, shadowy backdrop. The scene conveys a sense of alertness and agility, as Golbat seems ready to swoop down at any moment. Its expression hints at a cunning intelligence, suggesting a creature that is both predatory and aware of its surroundings. The overall atmosphere evokes a feeling of mystery, inviting the viewer into the hidden world of this nocturnal Pokémon.
Until the end of your next turn, if an attack damages the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack does 20 more damage to the Defending Pokémon.
If this attack damages the Defending Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned and you remove a number of damage counters from Golbat equal to half that damage (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Golbat has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them. Either way, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.
