Swanna is a somewhat fat avian swan-like Pokémon with large amounts of white plumage. It has a long yellow beak with a black cere around it. On its head are several white-colored feathers with a more pointed feature at the top. Just like with most swans, Swanna possess a curved neck. Located on its plump breast are two light-blue feathery figures that are similar to the ones on its head. Its wings, however, are positioned in a way unconventional to birds. Its legs are small and it has dark-colored webbed feet.

Swanna (Japanese: スワンナ, HepburnSuwanna) (SWAH-nuh[1]) is a Water/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Swanna is a somewhat fat avian swan-like Pokémon with large amounts of white plumage. It has a long yellow beak with a black cere around it. On its head are several white-colored feathers with a more pointed feature at the top. Just like with most swans, Swanna possess a curved neck. Located on its plump breast are two light-blue feathery figures that are similar to the ones on its head. Its wings, however, are positioned in a way unconventional to birds. Its legs are small and it has dark-colored webbed feet.

Behavior

It can fly for thousands of mile without rest, much like how Mudsdale can travel long distances on land, and take flight at dawn. At dusk, they dance around their leader. It appears to be very physically powerful as it delivers forceful pecks from its beak.

Evolution

Swanna is the evolved form of Ducklett as of level 35.
