In the manga
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, alongside Electrode, fighting Pike Queen Lucy and Palace Maven Spenser in Swanky Showdown with Swalot. 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.
The Battle Tower rented a Swalot, which was stolen by Guile Hideout in The Final Battle VII.
In a flashback, a Swalot appeared as one of the Pokémon trained by the International Police in Innocent Scientist, alongside Electrode.
Team Flare Grunts own multiple Swalot, which first appeared in Rhyhorn Charges.
