[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.
[SET]
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Brave Bird
move 2: U-turn
move 3: Defog
move 4: Pursuit
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Inner Focus
nature: Jolly
evs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 236 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf takes advantage of the only positive traits Zubat has: 16 Speed and U-turn. This gives Zubat some ability to be useful in a match, though Vullaby and Rufflet serve essentially the same purpose with their vastly superior stats and coverage.
