Read more ↓Swablu is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation III. Known as the Cotton Bird Pokémon, Swablu is characterized by its fluffy, cloud-like wings, which are incredibly soft to the touch. Its natural habitat often includes mountainous regions and clear skies, where it can be seen gracefully soaring. Swablu is meticulous about its hygiene, constantly grooming its cotton-like wings and taking a shower to clean itself if it becomes dirty, as noted in its Pokédex entry. This behavior highlights its gentle and clean nature. Swablu evolves into Altaria, a majestic Dragon/Flying type, at level 35, transforming its soft wings into even grander, more extensive cloud-like structures. In the games, Swablu often appears early in the routes, providing players with an accessible Flying-type option. In the anime, Swablu is depicted as a peaceful and often shy Pokémon, sometimes seen in flocks. Its charming design and gentle demeanor have made it a beloved Pokémon, representing tranquility and beauty in the Pokémon world. Its type combination provides interesting matchups, being immune to Ground-type moves and having a resistance to Grass-type attacks, but a weakness to Rock, Electric, and Ice types. Swablu's role in the franchise is often that of an early-game companion that grows into a powerful ally, embodying the themes of growth and evolution.
