Swadloon

Swadloon in the anime: Ash's mid-stage evolution

Swadloon debuted in Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!, where Ash's Sewaddle evolved into Swadloon during his battle with Burgh; it later evolved further into Leavanny in Battling the Leaf Thieves!. A trainer's Swadloon also appeared in Lost at the Stamp Rally!, where Erina's Axew mistook Swadloon's Trainer for its own and ended up tied in String Shot.

Swadloon on cardboard: an Uncommon since Emerging Powers

Swadloon's first cards arrived together in the Black and White era's Emerging Powers, a pair of Uncommons by Naoki Saito and MAHOU. Further Uncommons followed in Noble Victories, Plasma Storm, and Legendary Treasures, with the line continuing through Phantom Forces and Unified Minds. The Scarlet and Violet era's White Flare paired a Common from Oswaldo KATO with an Illustration rare from 0313.
