Tips
- Consider having a Pokémon with Swarm in your party when battling trainers or wild Pokémon that are weak to Bug Type attacks.
- The HP condition for the boost means it's most effective when your Pokémon is low on health, so use it strategically.
- If you enjoy hearing rarer Pokémon cries, keeping a Swarm Pokémon in your party can enhance that experience.
