Swellow is a Flying- and Normal-type Pokémon available in 3-star Raids.
It is solo-able for high-level Trainers with teams consisting of top Electric-, Ice-, and Rock-type counters such as Mega Manectric, Therian Forme Thundurus, Zekrom, and Rampardos. Lower-level Trainers, or Trainers lacking proper counters, should Raid in larger groups (2-20) to take out the Swallow Pokémon.
