Ash's Swellow: Difference between revisions

Ash caught Swellow as a Taillow in the episode ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow!]]''. It was the leader of a flock of wild Taillow. It stole [[Max]]'s chocolate and challenged {{AP|Pikachu}} to a battle. It also led the entire flock on a ceaseless attack until {{an|Brock}} and his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} intervened and used {{m|Explosion}} to drive them away. Taillow then showed up alone and challenged Pikachu, and even though it took countless {{m|Thunderbolt}}s and a {{m|Thunder}} from Pikachu it still kept fighting. On Brock's advice, Ash captured Taillow to prevent it from getting hurt anymore. Ash then sent it out and Brock helped it recover.

Its first battle was against [[Nicholai]] and his {{p|Zigzagoon}} in ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]''. Taillow's impressive flying techniques allowed it to match Nicholai's newly caught Pokémon well. The winner of the battle though is unknown. It also fought against {{OBP|Anthony|AG010}}'s {{p|Pelipper}} in ''[[AG010|You Said a Mouthful!]]'', where it handled the battle well but lost when a {{p|Magby}} hidden inside Pelipper's bill used {{m|Flamethrower}}.
