Pokédex entries
| Ruby | When SWALOT spots prey, it spurts out a hideously toxic fluid from its pores and sprays the target. Once the prey has weakened, this POKéMON gulps it down whole with its cavernous mouth. |
|---|---|
| Sapphire | SWALOT has no teeth, so what it eats, it swallows whole, no matter what. Its cavernous mouth yawns widely. An automobile tire could easily fit inside this POKéMON’s mouth. |
| FireRed LeafGreen | It can swallow a tire whole in one gulp. It secretes a horribly toxic fluid from the pores on its body. |
| Emerald | Its powerful stomach acid is capable of digesting almost anything. The one thing in the whole world a SWALOT can’t digest is its own stomach. |
| Diamond Pearl Platinum | It swallows anything whole. It sweats toxic fluids from its follicles to douse foes. |
