Behavior

Swablu have a low tolerance to dirty things; they love to rub their cottony wings onto dirty, dusty objects. They usually are not afraid of people, and tend to lay on their heads. Once their cleanup is made, they fly to a nearby river and wash their wings, removing all dirt and dust.

Swablu in the anime.

Swablu's first major role was in True Blue Swablu. A Swablu got lost from its flock and got its wing injured. After the wing was healed, it took Ash and company some time to get the Swablu the courage to fly again. At the end of the episode, Swablu was going to come with May until it was re-united with its flock.

A Swablu has also appeared in That's Just Swellow under the ownership of Shane.

In the manga

Bridgette and Lanette both own a Swablu.

Trivia

  • Swablu, Surskit and Onix are the only dual-typed Pokémon that have their primary type change during evolution.

Origin

Swablu is based on a swallow with some cotton or cloud. It may also be based on an ultramarine lorikeet.

Name origin

Swablu's name is a combination of the words swallow, referring to the species of bird on which this Pokémon is based, and blu, a misspelling of blue, referring to the color of this Pokémon. Swab may also refer its cotton swab-like wings. Its Japanese name may refer to Tyl, also known as Epsilon Draconis, a star in the Draco constellation.
