Skwovet is a {{wp|squirrel}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is grayish-brown in color, with a large fluffy tail, which is dark-grayish-brown at the top. Skwovet has a light-grayish-brown underbelly, and the color extends to its mouth and parts of its cheeks. Its cheeks are normally stuffed with {{berries}}. It has two orange freckles underneath each eye and an orange nose. Its ears are similar in color to its tail, and they have orange insides.

Skwovet can stuff a tremendous amount of food using its special cheeks, which can stretch to many times its normal volume. It normally stashes berries in its cheeks, but if it is feeling full, it can temporarily keep the extra food in its tail fur. Skwovet's habit of eating berries nonstop has made it more resilient than it appears. If its cheeks are ever completely empty of berries, it becomes very uneasy; it may even stuff its cheeks with pebbles if it can't find any berries nearby. Skwovet will appear on farms, looking for more berries to eat. When they are not eating berries, they spit out the seeds in the rich soil in order to cultivate berry trees. It has a habit of hiding and adding to its food storage, as it is always anxious about getting hungry. {{p|Gumshoos}} is its natural predator.

Skwovet and its evolved form, {{p|Greedent}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Stuff Cheeks}}.
