There's quite a bit of leeway with the fishing pose, but the slanted angle makes it hard to get the perfect shot.

This is a Tool-Assisted Superplay/Speedrun (often abbreviated to TAS) where a player can edit, rerecord, and manipulate a game into doing whatever that person desires. Visit http://tasvideos.org/ for more information.
Zubat is one of the most technical and complex Pokemon in the game, and this setup is an attempt to make it somewhat easier. Note that the because of the high precision with everything, random lag, and the fast animation speed of Zubat, this is still by no means consistent at all. Any attempts to get a good score will require a lot of shots and any mistimings will desync the setup.
Instructions:
1) Skip the cutscene, hold Z, look all the way down, turn a bit left (use the cave wall as a visual cue) and take a picture of both Zubat.
2) Press C-up, release Z, press C-up again.
3) Once the middle of the cursor goes below the Bulbasaur ledge, hold R.
4) When the wall appears between the opening and the green film icon, release R.
5) When the floor crack in the middle is about to reach the bottom of the screen, quickly press C-right, C-left, and then C-right again.
6) Wait a moment and then press C-left and C-right 9 times each.
7) Look all the way up, and when the left of the cursor goes over the dark line in the wall, press C-left.
8) When the blue apple icon passes the ledge, press B.
9) Hold Z, aim a tiny bit up, a little left, and make the shot.
Some troubleshooting:
-If youre missing the first two Zubat, trying aiming for their heads to have a larger frame window.
-If the middle Zubat is too far ahead, you likely started turning too late or too slow.
-If the two side Zubat are too spread out, you likely started turning too early.
-If the Zubats have their wings fully spread out, you were likely on the wrong set of frames. As animations are based on 60 frames per second, but the game only renders 30 frames a second, half the time you cannot get the correct frame for the shot.")

While this game may seem impossible to complete at higher speeds, its just barely doable, but extremely difficult even as a TAS, and certainly not at all consistent for real play.
The main obstacle is the ship can move faster than you can, its easy to get cornered, and the bullet speeds get as fast as reaching you in 3 frames. The only way to avoid shots is to move in such a way that the ship aims at the edge of your hitbox as you move in the opposite direction.
Interestingly, depending on the spacing of the bullets, its possible for them to go too fast and phase right through you, as one frame its below you and the next frame its above you, never making contact.")
