Swellow
Delta Species

#32 Swellow - Delta Species (ex11)

Swellow is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a unique dual attack strategy. Its primary attack, Glide, requires three Colorless Energy to deal 40 damage, while Steep Dive uses one Colorless Energy to trigger a coin flip with conditional effects. The coin flip outcome either prevents an attack’s effects during the opponent’s next turn or boosts Glide’s damage by 100 for the player’s subsequent turn. Swellow resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is vulnerable to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. The card’s design is attributed to artist Atsuko Nishida, and it belongs to the Delta Species set, released in October 2005. As a Rare card with number 32, it is part of the EX series, reflecting its specialized gameplay mechanics. The card’s balance of defensive and offensive capabilities aligns with its thematic focus on aerial combat and strategic adaptability.
