Biology

Physiology

Swalot is a tall, purple, blob-like Pokémon. It has a single row of black rhombuses running across what would be its mid-section. Swalot's hands have three fingers instead of two. Swalot has red, beady eyes and yellow whiskers.

Dominick's Swalot

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 Dominick used a Swalot and Tropius to battle Ash's Corphish and Torkoal. Corphish managed to defeat Dominick's Swalot.

A Swalot that was painted to look like a Muk was shown at the "Pokémon Cosplay Convention" in All Dressed with Somewhere To Go.

Paul's brother, Reiji, also owns a Swalot which appeared in DP066.

Swalot's name is possibly a shortening of swallow a lot, as in eating or drinking a large amount. Its Japanese name is based on 丸呑み marunomi, swallowing whole and 飲み込む nomikomu, to gulp down.
