Dawn's Swinub (Japanese: ヒカリのウリム Hikari's Urimoo) was the fifth Pokémon captured by Dawn in the anime, and her sixth Pokémon in all.
Swinub's debut was in DP084, in which it appeared at Mr. Backlot's mansion, and caused trouble by devouring all of Dawn's Poffins (much to the displeasure of Dawn's other Pokémon), revealing its gluttonous nature. However, after helping to take down Team Rocket, Dawn decided she wanted Swinub to go with her.

Trivia
- Swinub, alongside Ash's Gliscor, is the only Pokémon in the parties of Ash and his friends to be absent from the Sinnoh Dex (though Jessie of Team Rocket has Yanmega, Seviper, and Wobbuffet, and Paul owns Electabuzz, Ursaring, and Gliscor).
- Swinub is the first capture Dawn has made since her Buizel, exactly 50 episodes before.
- Swinub, given its gluttonous nature and love for Poffins, seems to mirror May's Munchlax.
- Swinub is the fifth Pokémon introduced in Generation II that is in the party of a member of the main cast during the Diamond & Pearl series, after Aipom, Sudowoodo, Gligar, and Yanma. All of these have evolved from or into Generation IV pokemon, making it highly likely that Swinub will eventually evolve into Mamoswine.
- Swinub is also the second Pokémon that Dawn owns that was introduced in a generation other than the one she was introduced in, after Aipom.
- Swinub's capture was revealed in a trailer for Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin, though at the time it was unknown which character Swinub could have belonged to but it was sure Swinub would be caught in time for the movie.
