Swinub is a small porcine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Living in frigid temperatures, Swinub is covered in dense, brown, striped hair to keep it warm. The hair is so shaggy that it often covers its tuft-like small legs, making it appear like a legless lump. Swinub's eyes appear as if they are perpetually closed. Swinub uses its pink, pig-like nose to dig through mud and snow, looking for anything edible. Occasionally, it will come across hot springs while scouring the ground. Its favorite food is a type of mushroom that grows beneath dead grass, though it also eats Berries. When a Swinub finds an attractive smell, it will run desperately to find out the source of the aroma. It inhabits cold places, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|icy caves}}, mountainous regions, and frozen tundra. | Swinub is a small {{wp|swine|porcine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

The hair is so shaggy that it often covers its tuft-like small legs, making it appear like a legless lump. Swinub's eyes appear as if they are perpetually closed. | ||
The only time that Swinub's eyes have been seen open was in [[Pokémon Adventures]], during the battle between [[Pryce]] and [[Erika]] in ''[[PS163|Bringing up Bellossom]]'', when Pryce ordered his Swinub to dodge Erika's {{p|Skiploom}}'s attack. | |||
Swinub uses its pink, pig-like nose to dig through mud and snow, looking for anything edible. In [[Hisui]], ancient people relied on Swinub a lot because of this skill. Occasionally, it will come across hot springs while scouring the ground. Its favorite food is a type of mushroom that grows beneath dead grass, though it also eats Berries. When a Swinub finds an attractive smell, it will run desperately to find out the source of the aroma. It inhabits cold places, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|icy caves}}, mountainous regions, and frozen tundra. | |||

Swinub (Japanese: ウリムー Urimoo) is a dual-type Ice/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves into Piloswine starting at level 33, which evolves into Mamoswine when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power.
Biology
Swinub is a small porcine Pokémon. Living in frigid temperatures, Swinub is covered in dense, brown, striped hair to keep it warm. The hair is so shaggy that it often covers its tuft-like small legs, making it appear like a legless lump. Swinub's eyes appear as if they are perpetually closed.
The only time that Swinub's eyes have been seen open was in Pokémon Adventures, during the battle between Pryce and Erika in Bringing up Bellossom, when Pryce ordered his Swinub to dodge Erika's Skiploom's attack.
Swinub uses its pink, pig-like nose to dig through mud and snow, looking for anything edible. In Hisui, ancient people relied on Swinub a lot because of this skill. Occasionally, it will come across hot springs while scouring the ground. Its favorite food is a type of mushroom that grows beneath dead grass, though it also eats Berries. When a Swinub finds an attractive smell, it will run desperately to find out the source of the aroma. It inhabits cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions, and frozen tundra.
Evolution
Swinub evolves into Piloswine, which evolves into Mamoswine.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

- Swinub is the only Pokémon that can be resistant to damage from all types of weather effects, including Shadow Sky, without the aid of an Ability.

Origin
Swinub's size and appearance seem to be a mix of a wild boar piglet and a long-haired guinea pig. It may also be based on wordplay of the groundhog. Both are similar in characteristics and behavior, while "Ground hog" describes Swinub's type and species quite well. Swinub also resembles the Marsupial mole. Swinub's ability to find hot springs may reference the history of use of animals and their keen smell for this purpose, specifically it may reference to the legend of king Bladud of Bath in England, whose herd of pigs found hot springs that cured his leprosy.
Name origin
Swinub may be a combination of swine and nub (referring to its lump-like nose) or cub, a young animal.
Urimoo may be a combination of 瓜坊 uribō (wild boar piglet) and ブーブー būbū (onomatopoeia for oinking).
