Pokemon Farmer’s Market: Swinub
August 24, 2007
Greetings, Everyone!
Welcome to the Friday Farmer’s Market featuring ice/ground-type Pokemon, Swinub. My handle here is BryGuy. I have been gone on vacation for a couple weeks but I am back! I am determined to continue bringing you special, value-added Pokemon! Today I offer you little, baby Swinubs. These little buggers made their first appearance in the Gold/Silver/Crystal Pokemon games. In the present generation of Pokemon games, Swinub are only available in random, daily “swarms” of pokemon that appear after you have become the Pokemon League Champion. So in Diamond and Pearl, Swinubs are difficult to get. The Swinubs I offer you today are not your ordinary, “garden-variety” Swinubs. These little, furry piggies have a specially developed moveset that is designed to make them toughies from the start and to give the Swinubs moves they would not learn on their own. My baby Swinubs will have the following cool moveset:
- ANCIENT POWER
- EARTHQUAKE
- ICE BEAM
- BLIZZARD
Pretty nice moves for a little, level 1 furry pig-thing! As Swinub grows and evolves you may decide to replace some of these moves with something else, but I thought these Swinubs should start with some of the best moves they can learn! Swinubs won’t normally learn Ice Beam without the use of a TM. I bred a female Swinub with a male Dewgong that knew Ice Beam and I was able to pass the move on down to a male offspring. That offspring would later become the father for the Swinubs I am offering today. Swinubs also can’t learn Ancient Power by themselves. I took the father to the Move Tutor after he evolved into a Piloswine and the Move Tutor taught the Piloswine Ancient Power. This father then passed both Ice Beam and Ancient Power on down to his offspring.
Now here is a bit of important information you should know if you get one of these special Swinubs: After Swinub evolves into Piloswine at level 33 it will then evolve into Mamoswine. Mamoswine is new in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. It appears to be a cross between a giant mammoth and a pig!? Mamoswine makes up for some of the weaknesses of the Swinub/Piloswine stages. It has much stronger attack stats. But here’s an important piece of information: Piloswine will evolve into Mamoswine when it levels-up after learning Ancient Power. Since these guys already know Ancient Power they will evolve after the first level-up after becoming Piloswine. I mention this in case you do not want it to evolve right away (maybe you want it to learn a few moves at a lower level first). Be ready to press the “B” button if you want to stop the evolution and evolve him later.
Some other ideas to help with your new Swinubs: If you are fighting a long battle, be sure to use Ancient Power early in the fight. It is a “rock-type” attack with basic attack power of 60, but its secondary effect is that it can raise all of your Swinub/Piloswine/Mamoswine’s stats. This turns him into a really dangerous opponent! Also consider taking your Piloswine to the Move Tutor and having him teach Ice Fang to the Piloswine. Ice Fang is a physical attack and it aligns nicely with Mamoswines high attack stat as well as its Ice type. There was no way for me to breed this move into Swinub and none of these guys will learn it without a session with the Move Tutor.
These Swinub are 100% game-legal. They were not hacked in any way. The moveset was obtained through normal breeding and careful study!
One last note: Today’s Swinubs are all named with Inuit (Alaskan/Eskimo) names in honor of their Ice/Ground type. Enjoy!
Here are the rules and procedures for tonight’s Farmer’s Market:
- Enter my trainer name and friend code into your pal pad. My trainer name is BryGuy and my friend code is 3737 6015 6762.
- Have a Pokemon ready in your party to trade to me. Today I will accept anything, but I like to be surprised! Feel free to trade me something you think is cool or unique. It is especially nice if the Pokemon is holding something (berries, items, etc.)!
- Post a comment to this article saying that you would like a Swinub. MAKE SURE YOU CLEARLY AND ACCURATELY LIST YOUR TRAINER NAME FROM YOUR GAME AND YOUR FRIEND CODE. EVEN IF WE HAVE TRADED BEFORE, PLEASE LIST THIS INFORMATION. I had to clear my Pal Pad a few times so most of my previously entered “Pals” have been removed. I will enter as many of friend codes before the Farmer’s Market as I can.
- In your game, enter the WiFi Club at 7:00 pm eastern time (6:00 pm central time) on Friday, August 24, 2007.
- When you enter the Wi-Fi zone select the trade option (INVITE -> TRADE) and wait for me to select you.
- If you can, be early. I may be online early.
- Please be patient. I should have plenty of Swinubs. I may have to leave the WiFi Club sometimes to get more Swinubs. Please don’t panic, I’ll return promptly!
- The Farmer’s Market will run from 7:00 to 8:00 pm EDT.
- I am only prepared to trade specially prepared Swinub. Please do not ask for other Pokemon. I will not be trading anything other than Swinub tonight. Thanks.
I am looking forward to trading. See you at the Farmer’s Market!

I’ll trade you the only Other Pokemon that existed in earlier games who could not evolve even with conditions met like this guy..
Thanks much for the Lickitung with Rollout! I don’t have a Lickilicky yet. Such a thoughtful trade!! Enjoy the new Swinub (soon to be Mamoswine!)!

Hi BryGuy,
You are a fantastic breeder. I would like to have one of your swinub with those great moves. I will give you one of my shiny pokemon holding a power item. I just hope i make it to wifi tonight.
i know it will be an extremely busy night for you looking at all these request. But is it possible to make one special request ? Can i have mine without a nickname ? If this is too much to ask, no problem.
Diamond Name: Shanice

Airazor2! Thank you for the very kind words! And thank you very much for the awesome trade!! A shiny Pidgeot with a Power Bracer is an awesome gift in exchange for my cool, little Swinub! I very much appreciate it! I hope the Swinub rocks his way to being an awesome Mamoswine!

I’d rather have a male but if you don’t have one, oh well. Thanks in advance.
One/Jeremy! I tried to trade with you numerous times but I kept getting rejected from our wifi connection. Is your wifi a little funky? You were the only person I had any trouble with trading with last night. Sorry we couldn’t connect. It was a very busy night of trading so I couldn’t keep trying endlessly hoping for a good connection. Sorry. If you are still interested in obtaining a Swinub please let me know. Maybe we can work something out.

GREETINGS, EVERYONE!
I’ll be on early tonight. I’ll log on in just a moment. Its going to be a very busy night for me, so please be patient. I have enough Swinubs to go around provided there aren’t many more requests!! I’ve had to completely refill my Pal Pad and still everyone does not fit. So at some point I will have to leave the WiFi Club and add a few names to the Pal Pad. If you don’t see me for a couple minutes don’t panic!! :-) Also, I will need to leave to refill my party with Swinubs. Most of the Swinubs that hatched this time were female (3:2).
Happy Trades!! :-)
