Unlike its {{p|Gulpin|pre-evolution}}, Swalot has only made one key appearance in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, being one of the Factory Pokémon fighting [[Pike Queen Lucy]] and [[Palace Maven Spenser]]. Although it seemingly won using a {{m|Hyper Beam}} after putting the former's [[Lucy's Seviper|Seviper]] to sleep, the serpent awoke using its {{a|Shed Skin}} ability and counterattacked with a {{m|Dig}} maneuver, defeating it.

Swalot (Japanese: マルノーム Marunoom) is a Poison-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Gulpin starting at level 26.

Biology

Swalot is a tall, purple, amorphous Pokémon. It has red, beady eyes and yellow whiskers. A female Swalot has shorter whiskers than a male. It has puckered lips and can fit an automobile tire its mouth. Its hands have three fingers. It has a single row of black rhombi running across its midsection, and can expand and contract its body at will. It is capable of swallowing anything whole, and can digest anything except its own stomach lining. It covers prey and opponents with powerful poison. It lives in grassy areas.

In From Brags to Riches, a Trainer named Dominick used a Swalot and Tropius to battle Ash's Corphish and Torkoal. Corphish managed to defeat Dominick's Swalot.

Paul's brother, Reggie, also owns a Swalot which appeared in Lost Leader Strategy!

In the manga

Swalot in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Unlike its pre-evolution, Swalot has only made one key appearance in the Pokémon Adventures manga, being one of the Factory Pokémon fighting Pike Queen Lucy and Palace Maven Spenser. Although it seemingly won using a Hyper Beam after putting the former's Seviper to sleep, the serpent awoke using its Shed Skin ability and counterattacked with a Dig maneuver, defeating it.

Later, a member of the International Police was shown to have a Swalot.

Trivia

  • Swalot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 467.

Origin

Swalot's appearance may be based on a single, giant poison gland. Swalot might be based upon a generic organism that uses pseudopodia.

It has been compared to a blobfish by many fans, but the popular blobfish photograph is copyright 2003, which is shortly after the Generation III games was released, and shows a front view of a heavily damaged specimen.

Name origin

Swalot may be a play on the phrase, "swallow a lot," as in consuming a large amount of food or drink.

Marunoom may be a combination of 丸呑み marunomi (swallowing whole) and nomu (swallow or gulp).
