Devlin's Swellow

Swellow is one of Devlin's Pokemon. It was a Taillow that Devlin played with in his childhood until it evolved after protecting its owner from a group of Gurdurr and Herdier. Swellow is Devlin's pride and strongest member on his Pokemon team.

Past
In the past, Swellow was first seen as a Taillow in Nuvema Town. It is unknown where it was found, but was told that Devlin obtained him from his unnamed father who was a trainer that left for Hoenn. It evolved sometime into a Swellow right before the start of Devlin's journey.

Present
It made its first appeared in BWL01 where it rested alongside Donphan in their trainer's room who went out for the Professor Juniper's Pokemon Lab to pick up his Starter Pokemon. It later reappeared to fly alongside Donphan and Tepig toward Striaton City.

In BWL02, it was seen training with Donphan. When it used Peck on Tepig who was hitting back, it grew angry and started arguing with him. They also hit Donphan which caused a fight between the three. It helped free Tepig from its capture of Team Plasma who were trying to liberate it. Alongside Donphan, it defeated them.

In BWL03, it battled a wild Scrafty, and used all its powerful attacks like Peck, Quick Attack, and Aerial Ace. The Hoodlum Pokemon dodged its Air Slash right after being knocked out by Hi Jump Kick. It later came out to help defeat Scrafty's former clan members and drove them out of the mountain.
