SwellowXY #103 Pokémon Card

Swellow is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation III, evolving from Taillow at level 22. Known as the "Swallow Pokémon," Swellow is admired for its elegant flight and sharp eyesight. It is native to the Hoenn region, where it can often be seen soaring through skies and grasslands. Swellow primarily subsists on small insects, which it skillfully catches mid-flight, showcasing its remarkable agility. In the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum owned a Swellow, which evolved from his Taillow, becoming a prominent and reliable member of his team known for its speed and battling prowess. Its sleek design and swift movements make it a popular choice for trainers who value speed and aerial combat. Swellow's Flying type gives it a natural advantage against Grass, Fighting, and Bug types, while its Normal typing offers no additional weaknesses but grants STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) to moves like Wing Attack. Its role in the games often involves being a fast attacker, and its ability Guts can make it a formidable force when afflicted with a status condition.
