CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Swablu does not necessarily avoid humans: it may land on their heads, like a little cloud seeking a perch. Its light, cottony wings give this encounter a particular softness. They also need regular care. The Pokémon that seems to carry a piece of sky carefully maintains this plumage, whose airy appearance contributes so much to its charm.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Swablu cares for its cloud-like wings with spring water and likes to perch on heads. On this card, Wing Flick deals 10 damage, then makes the opponent choose a Benched replacement for the Defending Pokémon. The little bird therefore shifts the encounter after its wing strike.
