Swalot is a toxic blob-like Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is the evolved form of Gulpin.

Information

Gulpin evolves into Swalot at Level 26. It has no teeth, so it swallows all its enemies whole. Its mouth yawns very widely, and it can even swallow an automobile tire whole. Before swallowing its prey, Swalot will spurt out a hideously toxic fluid from its pores to spray the target. It can even sweat poison. Like its previous form, Swalot has powerful stomach acid which can digest anything. The only thing that Swalot cannot digest is its own stomach.
