It evolves into Piloswine starting at level 33, and then into Mamoswine when Piloswine levels up while knowing the Ancient Power move. Swinub are small, furry, and pig-like Pokémon known for their excellent sense of smell, which they use to sniff out delicious mushrooms and hot springs buried under the snow. They typically inhabit cold, mountainous regions and snowy plains, often found burrowing through the snow with their snouts. In the anime, Swinub are often depicted as playful and slightly clumsy, with Ash Ketchum's rival Paul owning one that eventually evolves into a powerful Mamoswine. Their adorable appearance and unique typing make them a popular choice among fans, and their evolution line plays a significant role in competitive battling due to Mamoswine's strong offensive presence. Swinub's design evokes a sense of warmth and resilience against harsh winter conditions, embodying the spirit of survival in frosty landscapes.
