===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 onwards====
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===
From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, 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.
From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Swarm is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), the wild Pokémon encounter rate increases by 100%. It shares this trait with {{a|Illuminate}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}. In {{game|Emerald}}, this Ability also increases the frequency that [[Cry|cries]] of [[wild Pokémon]] are heard in the overworld.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
If the HP of the Pokémon with Swarm is at or below 25% of its maximum HP, the power of its Bug-type moves will be increased.
If a Pokémon with Swarm is below 25% of its HP, its Bug-type moves hit for double damage.
