Golbat 34/62 from the Fossil expansion is a classic and highly sought-after Stage 1 Pokémon card that captures the eerie charm of this fan-favorite Flying-type Pokémon. First released in 1999 as part of the third expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Uncommon card features Golbat evolving from Zubat, ready to swoop into battle with its signature draining attacks. Illustrated by the talented Kagemaru Himeno, the artwork showcases Golbat mid-flight with its fangs bared, perfectly embodying its role as a relentless predator. With its distinctive Grass-type classification in this set—unusual compared to its traditional Poison/Flying type in the video games—it stands out as a unique piece of Pokémon TCG history.

This raw, ungraded version of Golbat 34/62 offers collectors and players alike a genuine piece of the game’s early era. Boasting a HP of 60 and no retreat cost, it was a strategic choice in its time for applying consistent pressure. Its two attacks, Wing Attack (30 damage) and Leech Life (20 damage, healing an equivalent amount of damage from itself), made it both an offensive threat and a resilient presence on the field. The card’s Pokédex flavor text, “Once it strikes, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly,” adds to its menacing appeal and connects it directly to the lore of the original Red and Blue games

As part of the Fossil set, Golbat 34/62 holds nostalgic value for longtime fans and serves as an accessible entry point for new collectors exploring vintage Pokémon cards. Whether you're building a retro-themed deck, completing a set, or preserving a piece of 90s pop culture, this card delivers both charm and historical significance. Its widespread availability in raw form makes it a practical and affordable collectible, while high-grade or 1st Edition versions can still command strong interest among enthusiasts. A must-have for any fan of classic Pokémon TCG design.
