It gulps anything that fits in its mouth. Its special enzymes can dissolve anything.
HeartGold · SoulSilver · YIt swallows anything whole. It sweats toxic fluids from its follicles to douse foes.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2 · XIt can swallow a tire whole in one gulp. It secretes a horribly toxic fluid from the pores on its body.
FireRed · LeafGreenIts 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.
EmeraldSWALOT 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.
Sapphire · Alpha SapphireWhen 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.
