If its two tail feathers are standing at attention, it is proof of good health. It soars elegantly in the sky.

Where it came from
The Swellow card, numbered 103/146, was released in 2014 as part of the XY base set. This set marked the beginning of the sixth generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing the Fairy type and transitioning the card aesthetics to reflect the visual style of the Kalos region. Swellow, a bird Pokémon originally introduced in the third generation, was selected to appear in this set as a rare-tier colorless card, fitting its established role as a swift, aerial combatant.
The illustration for this card was crafted by artist match, who is known for a clean, dynamic style within the trading card game community. The design captures Swellow mid-flight, emphasizing the speed and agility associated with the species. Upon its release, the card was received as a standard expansion piece, appreciated by players for its inclusion in the XY base set, which served as the foundational collection for the game's new mechanics and design language during that era.
