Swablu (Chirutto) is a bluebird (Cotton Bird?) Pokémon of the Normal/Flying type, available only in Ruby and Sapphire versions. It is very difficult to train at early levels, but evolves at level 35 into the bird-dragon Altaria (Chirutarisu).
Swablu is trained primarily by Bird Keepers and Dragon Tamers, and knows a variety of offensive and defensive Flying-, Normal-, and Ghost-type moves, including Peck, Astonish, Sing, Take Down, and Safeguard.
A version of Swablu that knows False Swipe can only be obtained in Pokémon Box.
