What it does
Remove a number of damage counters from Golbat equal to the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance). If Golbat has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.
Once it strikes, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly.

Where it came from
The Golbat card, numbered 34/62, was released in 1999 as part of the Fossil expansion, the third set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game produced by Wizards of the Coast. Following the massive success of the Base Set and Jungle, the Fossil set was designed to introduce Pokémon discovered in the Kanto region’s archaeology, specifically those tied to prehistoric themes. The set expanded the mechanics of the game, introducing new evolution lines and solidifying the competitive landscape for players during the height of the original Pokémon craze.
The artwork for this Golbat was created by Keiji Kinebuchi, a prolific contributor to the early TCG who was known for his distinct, mixed-media style that often utilized clay models or digital textures to provide a sense of depth. In this piece, Golbat is depicted in a dark, atmospheric environment that leans into the nocturnal, predatory nature of the species. The design was received favorably by collectors for its moody aesthetic, which captured the eerie tone intended for the 'ghostly' and cave-dwelling Pokémon of the Fossil set.
