In-Depth Analysis
Swalot totals 467 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its HP (100) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Speed (55).
Defensively, the Poison combination gives Swalot 5 resistances and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 75 puts Swalot in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Fast Then Very Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
