In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 310, Swablu plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Special Defense at 75, while Attack (40) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Normal, Flying combination gives Swablu 2 resistances, 2 immunities, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
With a catch rate of 255, Swablu is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Slow Then Very Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
