It is known for its energetic and tenacious nature, often seen flying in large flocks. Taillow evolves into Swellow starting at level 22. In the games, Taillow is typically one of the first flying-type Pokémon players encounter, making it a common and memorable early-game companion. Its diet primarily consists of Bug-type Pokémon, which it skillfully catches mid-flight. Taillow’s behavior is characterized by its constant movement and loud cries, especially when asserting its territory or chasing prey. In the anime, Ash Ketchum caught a Taillow early in his Hoenn journey, which later evolved into Swellow, becoming a prominent member of his team. This Pokémon embodies the spirit of perseverance and speed, often portrayed as a swift and agile flyer. Its type combination gives it a unique set of resistances and weaknesses, being immune to Ground-type attacks but vulnerable to Electric, Ice, and Rock.
