Read more ↓Gulpin, the Stomach Pokémon, is a pure Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. This spherical Pokémon is known for its insatiable appetite and the ability to swallow anything whole, thanks to its incredibly elastic stomach. Gulpin evolves into Swalot starting at level 26. In the games, Gulpin is often found in grassy areas and caves, sometimes appearing as an early-game encounter. Its unique physiology, particularly its digestive system, is a recurring theme in its Pokédex entries, highlighting its role as a living stomach. Gulpin's design, a simple green blob with a wide mouth, reflects its primary characteristic. While not a powerhouse in competitive battles, Gulpin and its evolution Swalot have appeared in the Pokémon anime, often depicted with their gluttonous nature. Its type, Poison, makes it effective against Grass and Fairy types, but weak to Ground and Psychic. Gulpin embodies the quirky and diverse creature designs that define the Pokémon franchise, showcasing how even seemingly simple concepts can be given distinct characteristics and lore. Its role in the broader Pokémon universe is that of a memorable, if not iconic, early-route Pokémon that introduces players to the concept of unique creature abilities and typings.
