Abilities
What makes it tick
-
Natural Cure
Swablu's standard ability. Any status condition, such as poison, paralysis or sleep, is healed when it switches out of battle.
-
Cloud Nine (hidden ability)
While Swablu is on the field, the effects of weather are ignored. Rain, sun, sandstorm and snow all stop mattering.
Type matchups
As a Normal/Flying type, Swablu takes:
- Double damage from Electric, Ice and Rock moves
- Half damage from Grass and Bug moves
- No damage from Ground and Ghost moves
Everything else hits for normal damage.
