Pokemon Farming: Swablu

July 9, 2007

SwabluWelcome to the first Pokemon we are farming for Dragon week. You will notice that this Pokemon, Swablu, begins life as a Normal/Flying Pokemon before evolving into Altaria, a Dragon/Flying type Pokemon.

Not a very spectacular Pokemon among Dragon Pokemon but Swablu/Altaria is one of the few Dragon types that exist in the game. Swablu/Altaria is also special in that it is only a two-stage Dragon Pokemon. The other two Dragon type Pokemon that you can breed from Ruby and Sapphire are Bagon/Shelgon/Salamence (Dragon/Flying) and Trapinch/Vibrava/Flygon (Ground/Dragon).

Another leg up that Swablu has over these other two Dragon type Pokemon is that it evolves at level 35. Flygon evolves at level 45 and Salamence at level 50. Clearly Swablu is your quickest entry into the world of Dragon Pokemon.

An interesting question for many Dragon trainers, in regards to Swablu, is when to evolve him. If you evolve him at level 35 you get the move Dragonbreath. If you hold out until level 36 you can get Mirror Move. That is the only tough decision that you will have to make as the rest of the moves will eventually be learned by Altaria.

All of these Swablu come with the following moves: Peck, Growl, Astonish and Sing.

Rules
1. I don’t care what you trade me though I would prefer a non-Sinnoh Pokemon.
2. The Pokemon you trade to me must be holding something.
3. I prefer berries over all other items.
4. The only exception to berries are the two items that Magby/Elekid hold when caught in the wild.
5. For berries I need: 37, 39, 47-49, 60 – 62, 64+.
6. When you leave your information in the comments below your trainer name must be correct. When I do the trading I refer to the comments on the site to see who gets what.
7. When you enter the Wi-Fi zone select the trade option and wait for me to select you.
8. If you can, be early. I am sometimes on early.
9. Don’t be afraid to trade amongst yourselves.

I think it’s about time I memorized my friend code. I keep having to go look it up!

Question: Do you delete us after you trade things to us, and then add us again each time? Or if we’ve already participated in a farming event from you, are we exempt from needing to put up our codes? Not that I mind. Just wondering. :)

Trainer name: Kara
Code: 3436 9889 7174

Thanks so much!

Side note: Is that thing supposed to be a blue cotton swab? Did he pokemon programmers run out of ideas or were they smoking something?
