Swoobat (Japanese: ココロモリ Kokoromori) is a dual-type Psychic/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Woobat when leveled up with high friendship.

Biology

Swoobat sleeping

Swoobat is a blue, bat-like Pokémon. It has fused, pointed ears with striated, lighter colored insides and a pink, heart-shaped snout with a single nostril. Two wide, rounded teeth are visible in its lower jaw. A mane of shaggy, light blue fur surrounds its neck. Its black wings have a claw at the joint, and its small black feet have three toes each. It has a bare, pink tail that is twisted with two short prongs at the tip.

Swoobat's nose can produce many different ultrasonic waves. When it shakes its tail vigorously, it is producing sound waves powerful enough to destroy concrete. In contrast, it produces waves during courtship that can gladden any who hear it. However using the powerful sound waves can leave Swoobat exhausted, being unable to fly for a period of time. In the anime, it is seen to hang from this tail rather than its feet as it sleeps. Swoobat's nose is considered be a symbol of good luck in certain regions. Swoobat and its pre-evolved form Woobat are the only known Pokémon capable of learning Simple Beam in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
