Swablu (Japanese: チルット Tyltto) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Altaria starting at level 35.

Biology

Swablu is an avian Pokémon with a round, blue body. Since it has no discernible neck, its body appears to be all head. There are two long feathers on top of its head, and it has a short, rounded white beak and beady, black eyes. Its wings are fluffy and white, resembling cotton or clouds and are made of air. The wings have a light and fluffy feel. It has tiny, white feet and two pointed tail feathers.

Swablu does not like dirty surroundings, so it cleans things with its cottony wings diligently. It uses streams, freshwater springs, or a manmade shower to wash its wings when they become dirty from polishing. It is commonly found living in flocks in forested habitats, but often flies closer to towns during the spring. Swablu is very friendly and largely unafraid of humans. As a result, it frequently perches on people's heads like a fluffy hat. Swablu can easily hide from foes in clouds thanks to its appearance.

Evolution

Swablu evolves into Altaria.

Major appearances

Multiple Swablu made their main series debut in True Blue Swablu, where they played a major role. One of them got separated from its flock when the tree its flock was nesting in was struck by lightning. May helped take care of Swablu, who had injured its wing, but the Pokémon was suddenly afraid to fly. After the wing was healed, it took Ash and his friends some time to help Swablu get the courage to fly again. At the end of the episode, May offered Swablu a place on her team but ultimately chose to let it go when its flock returned.

In That's Just Swellow, Shane's Swablu participated in the Crossgate PokéRinger competition, where it was able to get Shane past the first round. However, it eventually lost to James and Dustox in the semifinals.

Trivia

Origin

Swablu is based on a bluebird combined with cotton or a cloud. It also shares traits more specifically with the ultramarine lorikeet. Behaviorally, it is similar to the Canada jay in that they are both given to sitting on people's heads.

Name origin

Swablu may be a combination of swab (small wad of cotton on a rod) and blue. It may also involve swallow (a type of bird).

Tyltto may be a reference to the play The Blue Bird (L'Oiseau bleu) by Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck, featuring two siblings named Mytyl and Tyltyl tasked in finding the bluebird of happiness. It may also involve チル chiru (Ryukyuan for crane), Tyl (alternate name of the star Epsilon Draconis, located in the constellation Draco), and cotton.
