Swellow is a Stage 1 Pokémon from the Pokémon Ruby, Pokémon Sapphire, and Pokémon Emerald games which can be obtained by raising Taillow until it evolves, or by capturing it on Route 115.

Name Origin

Its name is derived from the words swallow and swell, which probably refers to its apparently swollen chest.

Pokédex Definition

Ruby: "Swellow flies high above our heads, making graceful arcs in the sky. This Pokémon dives at a deep angle as soon as its spots its prey. The hapless prey is tightly grasped by Swellow's clawed feet preventing escaped."

Sapphire: "Swellow is very conscientious about the upkeep of its glossy wings. Once two Swellow are gathered, they diligently take care of cleaning each other's wings."

Emerald: "A Swellow dives upon prey from far above. It never misses its targets. It takes to the skies in search of lands with a warm climate."

Anime Appearance

In the anime episode "Beginning Challenge! Sky Match: Pokéringer!?!", Ash's Taillow evolves into Swellow.

Swellow aparently will fulfil the same duties as Pidgeotto and Noctowl (Ash's Stage 1 Flying-types before Swellow).
