Swoobat Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Swoobat's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric), Kyurem (Ice), and Golem (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Ghost and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Swoobat's base 114 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Swoobat can work for a story run. 425 BST is average, but Psychic/Flying typing fills a niche depending on your team composition.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Swoobat's 425 base stat total fool you. Unaware is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a pivot. Calm Mind with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Unaware on Swoobat. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Swoobat also gets Klutz and Simple, but they don't compare.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Swoobat fills the pivot role. It's a special attacker with base 77 Sp. Atk. Base 114 Speed lets it outrun most of the field.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Swoobat has appeared in 7 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
