{{nihongo|'''Swablu'''|チルット|Chirutto|'''Tyltto''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} is a fictional character from the [[Pokémon]] [[Media franchise|franchise]].

The name ''Swablu'' is a [[portmanteau]] from the words ''swab'' (due to its [[cotton]] swab-like wings) and ''blue'' (due to its color).

==Biological characteristics==
Swablu is depicted as a small, blue bird (somewhat similar to a robin in shape with two [[feather]]s protruding from its head, a white [[beak]] and most prominently, a large cotton wing coming from each side of its head.

Swablu has light and fluffy wings that are like cottony clouds. This Pokémon is not frightened of people. It lands on the heads of people and sits there like a cotton-fluff hat. It loves to make things clean and to this end, if it spots anything dirty, it will wipe and polish it with its [[cotton]]y wings. If these wings become dirty, it will find a stream to shower itself. After enduring winter, in which little food is available, Swablu flocks move closer to towns in the spring.

==In the video games==
Swablu is a basic Pokémon found in the wild in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald commonly on routes 114 and 115. Swablu can also be snagged in the Pyrite Cave of Pokémon Colosseum. It can be very difficult to train at early levels, but evolves at level 35 into the bird-dragon [[Altaria]] (''Chirutarisu''), which is much stronger. In this respect, it is similar to [[Magikarp]], but is dissimilar in the fact that its movepool is normal-sized for a basic Pokémon.

Swablu is trained primarily by ''Bird Keepers'' and ''Dragon Tamers'', and knows a variety of offensive and defensive ''Flying''-, ''Normal''-, and ''Ghost''-type moves, including ''Peck'', ''Astonish'', ''Sing'', ''Take Down'', and ''Safeguard''. A version of Swablu that knows ''False Swipe'' can only be obtained in [[Pokémon Box]] on the [[Nintendo GameCube]].
