'''Swarm''' (Japanese: '''むしのしらせ''' ''Bug Notification'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
===In battle===
===In battle===
When a Pokémon with Swarm uses a {{type|Bug}} [[move]], the power will increase by 1.5× if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining.
====Generations III to IV====
When a Pokémon with Swarm uses a {{type|Bug}} [[move]], the move's [[power]] will be increased by 50% if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining.
 
====Generations V onward====
Instead of boosting Bug-type moves' power, Swarm now technically boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Special Attack}} by 50% during damage calculation if a Bug-type move is being used, resulting in effectively the same effect.


===Outside of battle===
===Outside of battle===
If the Pokémon leading the party has Swarm, the chance of encountering wild Pokémon increases. In {{game|Emerald}}, this ability also increases the rate in which the [[Cry|cries]] of [[wild Pokémon]] could be heard on the field.
In {{game|Emerald}}, if the first Pokémon in the player's party has this Ability, the frequency of [[Cry|cries]] of [[wild Pokémon]] that are heard in the overworld is increased. Despite the fact this mechanic also exists in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Swarm has no overworld effect there.
 
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon}}===
Swarm will do double the damage if the Pokémon using it is below 25% of its HP.

==In the anime==

{{movebtm|type=bug|user=Ash's Leavanny|startcode=BW106|startname=Strong Strategy Steals the Show!|notes=Debut}}
 
* In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', [[Burgundy]] told {{Ash}} that his {{AP|Leavanny}}, who at the time was a {{p|Sewaddle}}, had Swarm as his [[Ability]]. However, he was never seen using it as a Sewaddle.
 
==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
* In {{FB|Pokémon Adventures|volume 23}}, [[Blue's Scizor]] was revealed to have Swarm as his Ability.
* {{adv|Moon}}'s {{p|Grubbin}} and [[Giovanni's Beedrill]] were revealed to have Swarm as their Ability in the [[PokéSPedia]] data-book.
* [[Winona]]'s {{p|Beautifly}}, [[Alder]]'s {{p|Escavalier}}, [[Emmet]]'s {{p|Durant}}, a {{tc|Roughneck}}'s {{p|Mothim}}, and a {{p|Scolipede}} controlled by [[Colress]] were revealed to have Swarm as their Ability.


==Trivia==
* The Japanese name for Swarm, むしのしらせ ''Mushi no Shirase'' (Bug Notification), is a Japansese expression that translates to "foreboding; premonition; gut feeling". This is reflected by the way the [[Ability]] works, as the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is preparing itself for a tough fight by making itself stronger.
* Swarm was the first Ability in the {{pkmn|anime}} to be a Pokémon's confirmed [[Ability]] without getting activated.
