Swarm (Japanese: むしのしらせ Bug Notification) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. All Pokémon that have this Ability are Bug types.
Effect
In battle
Generations III to IV
When a Pokémon with Swarm uses a Bug-type move, the move's power will be increased by 50% if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining.
Generations V onwards
Instead of boosting Bug-type moves' power, Swarm now technically boosts the Pokémon's Attack or Special Attack by 50% during damage calculation if a Bug-type move is being used, resulting in effectively the same effect.
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Swarm is in the first place in the party (even if fainted), the wild Pokémon encounter rate increases by 100%. It shares this trait with Illuminate and Arena Trap. In Pokémon Emerald, this Ability also increases the frequency that cries of wild Pokémon are heard in the overworld.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
If a Pokémon with Swarm is below 25% of its HP, its Bug-type moves hit for double damage.
Pokémon Conquest
In Pokémon Conquest, Swarm will increase user's Attack if the Pokémon using it is below ⅓ of its HP.
