Poké-Power:
Drive Off
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Swellow is your Active Pokémon, you may switch 1 of the Defending Pokémon with 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Your opponent picks the Benched Pokémon to switch. This power can't be used if Swellow is affected by a Special Condition.

Artwork Description
The artwork on this card depicts Swellow perched confidently on a tree branch, its sleek feathers catching the light through a lush green forest, poised and alert with its sharp eyes and vibrant plumage.
Playability Overview
Swellow's ability to force your opponent to switch their Active Pokémon can disrupt their strategy and create tactical opportunities, but its modest attack and vulnerability to Special Conditions limit its long-term offensive potential.
Binder Inspiration
Main Binder Theme: Sky High SoarThis Swellow card captures a dynamic moment with its striking pose against a bright backdrop. I’d suggest placing it in a section dedicated to flying types or cards that evoke a sense of freedom and elevation. Pair it with other Pokémon like Pidgeot or Charizard to enhance that aerial atmosphere.Additional Binder Suggestions: Sky / Energetic / Bright Colors / Flight Path / Birdwatching
