Swellow is known for its incredible speed and agility, often seen soaring high in the sky with its sleek, aerodynamic body. In the wild, Swellow are often found in forests and open grasslands, where they can easily spot prey from above. Their diet primarily consists of Bug-type Pokémon, which they catch with remarkable precision using their sharp claws. Swellow are highly territorial and will fiercely defend their nests.
