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’s taste for cleanliness extends beyond its plumage. Pokémon Alpha Sapphire states that it wipes and polishes dirty objects with its wings. When they become dirty in turn, it heads to a stream to wash them.
