Swarm (Japanese: むしのしらせ Bug's Foreboding) is an ability introduced in Generation III that strengthens Bug moves in a pinch. Twelve Pokémon have this ability, all of them Template:Type2. When a Template:Type2 move is used, it will do 1.5× its usual damage if the target has less than 30% of its HP remaining. Outside of battle, Swarm, if the Pokémon in the front of the Party has it, increases the chances of encountering wild Pokémon.
In Pokémon Emerald, this ability also increases the rate in which the cries of wild Pokémon could be heard on the field.
In Mystery Dungeon, it will do double the damage if the Pokémon using it is below 25% of its HP.
