Collector Insights
Swalot is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featured in the Platinum series under the Arceus set, released on November 4, 2009. It has a retreat cost of three Colorless energy and is classified as a Rare Holo card. The card includes two attacks: "Damage Roller," which requires one Psychic energy and inflicts damage counters on the defending Pokémon until its remaining HP matches Swalot’s, and "Entangle Tackle," costing two Psychic and one Colorless energy to deal 50+ damage, with an optional 30 additional damage that bypasses Weakness and Resistance. The flavor text describes Swalot as a creature that swallows objects whole and secretes toxic fluids to deter opponents. Its primary weakness is to Psychic-type attacks, which deal 20 more damage. The artist for this card is Aya Kusube, and it carries the Pokédex number 317. The card’s design and mechanics align with its role in the game’s strategic framework.
It swallows anything whole. It sweats toxic fluids from its follicles to douse foes.
