Once it bites, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly.

Where it came from
The Golbat card from the Generations expansion was released in 2016 to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. This set was designed as a retrospective, incorporating updated versions of classic card mechanics and artwork that paid homage to the early years of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, specifically focusing on the Kanto region’s original roster.
The card features artwork by Miki Tanaka, a veteran illustrator for the series. Her approach emphasizes the creature's characteristic nocturnal, bat-like anatomy while utilizing the cleaner, more vibrant aesthetic typical of the XY era of the game. Upon its release, the set was well-received by collectors who appreciated the nostalgic tribute to the franchise's heritage alongside modern playability.
