Swadloon is a mainly round Pokémon that resembles a pupating caterpillar wrapped in leaves. Its body is yellow, and it is wrapped in a cloak of green leaves. On the top of its head is a "V" shaped green leaf-like appendage. Its frowning expression gives it a gloomy, sorrowful, shy look.

Evolution

Swadloon is the evolved form of Sewaddle as of level 20. Swadloon then evolves into Leavanny with enough friendship.

Trivia

While it seems to be similar to Metapod, Kakuna, Cascoon, or Silcoon in nature, it doesn't evolve from its previous form as fast, nor does it evolve into its final form in the same method.

Origin

Swadloon is likely based on a caterpillar inside a chrysalis, but it could also be based off of a hikikomori, which is a shut-in in Japanese culture.

Etymology

Swadloon's English name is derived from the words "swaddle" and "cocoon".
