Swanna Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Swanna works as a pivot with 473 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Surf with Life Orb is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Raikou (Electric) and Aerodactyl (Rock) when using Swanna. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Raikou is the most dangerous since Electric moves deal 4x damage. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Swanna is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Swanna appears at level 60. Prerequisite: UNCOMMON. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
Keen Eye prevents accuracy from being lowered. That's the one you want on Swanna. Hydration is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Big Pecks works too if your team needs something different.
Swanna is a mixed attacker with base 87 Attack and 87 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 98 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the pivot role.
Game Availability
Since Black & White, Swanna has been obtainable in 7 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Swanna has appeared steadily across every generation since.
