It is indeed possible to get rid of it. It's just not particularly easy.

The most obvious, though most obscure method, is using Reverse Trap to prevent it from gaining ATK. Since it cannot gain ATK or DEF instead of being destroyed, it is destroyed.

Another way, which involves cards everyone runs, is by using Effect Veiler (or the less common Skill Drain). Notably, both of these also bump it down to 0.

yeah but Skill Drain basically pwns just about everything

A lot of common monsters can basically ignore Skill Drain (Stardust Dragon, etc.). There are also a lot more which benefit from Skill Drain (Malefics, Barbaros, etc.).

Still, Veiler is seen in just about every deck.

Still doesn't change that most decks right not are maining Effect Vailer at 2, and siding Skill Drain if they're not hurt very hard by it.

Though, I admit that this card could be balanced a bit better. Perhaps something like allowing Direct Attacks if it's the only monster, only being able to summon it once per Duel, not allowing it to be Normal Summoned, and changing the cost to 8000 LP?

But then it'd be terrible.

Also, the picture I used is only because I couldn't find an adequate picture of a bat that looked persistent enough.
