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.

If Ariados' "Leech Life" attack does 30 damage but the opponent's Active Pokemon has only 10 HP remaining, how many damage counters will be removed from Ariados?

Leech Life does 30 damage, which is not affected by the fact that the KO only required 10 damage. Therefore, Ariados will remove 3 damage counters, or all if there are less than 3.
