Trivia
- Swablu and Onix are the only dual-typed Pokémon whose evolved forms have a different primary type, but the same secondary type. All other dual-typed Pokémon that evolve either evolve into a Pokémon with the same two types or have the secondary type change.
- Although Swablu can know False Swipe if hatched from the Egg obtained in Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire, it is incompatible with the TM introduced in Generation IV which teaches the same move.
- As of Generation V, no other Pokémon have same dual Egg Group as Swablu's family. In this case, both in Flying and Dragon are unique.
- No other Pokémon evolve into their final Dragon-type stage as early as Swablu. It evolves into Altaria at Level 35.
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 Grey Jay in that they are both given to sitting on people's heads. Its coloring is also similar to a Cotton swab.
Name origin
Swablu may be a combination of swab (referring to its cotton swab-like wings) and blue. Swa may also derive from swallow, a type of bird.
Tyltto may refer to Tyl—also known as Epsilon Draconis—a star in the constellation Draco, the Dragon. It may also be a reference to the play L'Oiseau Bleu (The Blue Bird) by Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck. The story is about two siblings, Mytyl and Tyltyl (ミチル Michiru and チルチル Chiruchiru in the Japanese translation of the play), who are tasked with finding the "blue bird of happiness."
