Swalot evolves from Gulpin at level 26. It gulps down nearly anything in one go and can digest all of it except its own stomach lining, and it drenches foes in a toxic fluid that seeps from its pores.
Swalot debuted under Anthony in Deceit and Assist, competing at the Hoenn Grand Festival before losing to May. Dominick paired a Swalot with Tropius in a Double Battle against Ash at the Ever Grande Conference, and Reggie used a Swalot to defeat Ash's Staravia in Lost Leader Strategy.
Swalot's first card arrived in Hidden Legends, illustrated by Yuka Morii, followed by Emerald from Atsuko Nishida and a Crystal Guardians Rare by Mitsuhiro Arita. Arceus carried a Holo Rare Swalot from Aya Kusube, and the line continued through Phantom Forces, Celestial Storm, and Stellar Crown, which brought Swalot into the Scarlet and Violet era with art by OKACHEKE.

The leading Swalot cards come from the EX era, and the most valuable Swalot card is the Holo Rare from Crystal Guardians in 2006. All 8 of the 8 Swalot cards carry a market value, and they span the years 2004 to 2024. No Swalot card from the vintage WOTC era reaches the ranking, so Swalot card value sits entirely with EX and later prints.
The Crystal Guardians Holo Rare from 2006 leads Swalot card value, and it is about equal to the next card, the Uncommon from Hidden Legends in 2004. Third is the Holo Rare from Arceus in 2009, a holo print from the Diamond & Pearl era. Fourth is the Uncommon from Celestial Storm in 2018, and fifth is the Uncommon from Emerald in 2005. The most valuable Swalot cards are a mix of holos and plain uncommons.
Of the Swalot cards in the leading twenty-five, 3 come from the EX era, 2 from Diamond & Pearl, 1 from XY, 1 from Sun & Moon and 1 from Scarlet & Violet. The newest era's leader is the Stellar Crown Uncommon from 2024, which sits 8th overall. Vintage means the WOTC era and modern is every later era, and the split is 8 modern and 0 vintage in both the top ten and the top twenty-five.
Among the Swalot cards in the top ten, 5 are Uncommon, 2 are Holo Rare and 1 is Rare. Widening to the leading twenty-five changes nothing, with the same 5 Uncommon, 2 Holo Rare and 1 Rare. No Swalot card in the ranking is a reverse holo, a 1st Edition print or a Shadowless print, so Swalot cards in this ranking are plain printed rarities.
By the value of its single leading card, Swalot ranks 718th of 1020 species with priced cards. Its only evolution line member in the ranking is Gulpin, which ranks 674th of 1020 by the same measure, so Gulpin's best card sits ahead of Swalot's. The Swalot card market is a small set of 8 cards with a leader about equal to the card behind it, rather than one dominant print.
