Swablu's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Swablu PvE Analysis

This tiny, blue, fluffy bird shouldn't be used in battles. Rather, make it your Buddy and grind 400 Candy to evolve Swablu. That's the best use of this Pokémon. 🐦

⚔️ Raids

Raid battles invoke Pokémon that can do a lot of damage to the Boss. Swablu is nowhere close to that parameter.

🛡️ Gyms

Swablu is fragile and can't withstand Gym defense. 🤐

Swablu PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Swablu enjoys the buffed Astonish to full effect, getting coverage against much of the Little Cup playing field. Its Charge attacks (Aerial Ace and Disarming Voice) aren't too noteworthy though. 😓
Consequently, it relies a lot on Astonish to, well, astonish its foes. This kind of limits its performance in the long run. 😬
