If {{m|Spit Up}} is used after Stockpiling, it will inflict damage according to the number of times Stockpile was used, and the Stockpile count will be reset. If {{m|Swallow}} is used after Stockpiling, the user will heal HP according to the number of times Stockpile was used, and the Stockpile count will be reset.
The moves {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Swallow}} inflict damage and heal the user based on the number of stockpiles, respectively, but also reset the stockpile count. Both moves fail if the stockpile count is zero.
 
Both Spit Up and Swallow will fail if Stockpile has not been used before selecting.
