Game data
Pokédex entries
| Gen | Game | Pokédex entry |
|---|---|---|
| III | Ruby | When Swalot spots prey, it spurts out a hideously toxic fluid from its pores and sprays the target. Once the prey has weakened, this Pokémon gulps it down whole with its cavernous mouth. |
| Sapphire | Swalot has no teeth, so what it eats, it swallows whole, no matter what. Its cavernous mouth yawns widely. An automobile tire could easily fit inside this Pokémon's mouth. | |
| Emerald | Its powerful stomach acid is capable of digesting almost anything. The one thing in the whole world a Swalot can't digest is its own stomach. | |
| FireRed | It can swallow a tire whole in one gulp. It secretes a horribly toxic fluid from the pores on its body. | |
| LeafGreen | It can swallow a tire whole in one gulp. It secretes a horribly toxic fluid from the pores on its body. | |
| IV | Diamond | It swallows anything whole. It sweats toxic fluids from its follicles to douse foes. |
| Pearl | It swallows anything whole. It sweats toxic fluids from its follicles to douse foes. |

Origin
Name origin
Swalot's name is possibly a shortening of swallow a lot, as in eating or drinking a large amount. Its Japanese name is based on 丸呑み marunomi, swallowing whole and 飲み込む nomikomu, to gulp down.
