Appearances

Anime

Dawn's Swinub.

In the anime, Dawn acquires a Swinub she met in Mr. Backlot's garden, after it saved her and the group's Pokémon from Team Rocket. This Swinub eventually evolved into a Piloswine and then into a Mamoswine two episodes later. Now at this stage, it has acquired gigantic strength, but has also become very aggressive towards Dawn and her Pokémon. Dawn is still eager to train it, however. As revealed in the Pokémon Anime, Swinub has an enormous appetite.

• Ein
• Ub
• Matt's Swinub
• Leona's Swinub

Trivia

• As seen in Spring Fever and Hot Springing a Leak!, Swinub are able to smell out hot water straight from the source.
  • This, however, is canon only for the anime, and might not be faithful to the games.

Origin

Swinub may be based on a boar piglet. It may also be based on a groundhog, both referring to its appearance and it literally being a "ground hog".

Etymology

Swinub is a combination of swine and nub, referring to its nose.
