Swalot first appeared in Deceit and Assist. The Poison Bag Pokémon belong to a coordinator named Anthony, who used it to compete in the Grand Festival.

In From Brags to Riches, a trainer named Dominic used a Swalot and Tropius to battle Ash's Corphish and Torkoal. Corphish managed to defeat Dominic's Swalot.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon 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.
Pokémon 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.
Pokémon 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.
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
It can swallow a tire whole in one gulp. It secretes a horribly toxic fluid from the pores on its body.
Pokémon Diamond
It swallows anything whole. It sweats toxic fluids from its follicles to douse foes.
