Is Golbat worth hunting?
Among the 23 Pokémon in the level 40 hunt, Golbat ranks 16th for loot per kill, 5% below the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
61% of all loot comes from a single item: Venom Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

For XP it ranks 7 of 23 at this level — 968 per kill.
