Swadloon (Japanese: クルマユ Kurumayu) is a dual-type Bug/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Sewaddle starting at level 20 and evolves into Leavanny when leveled up with high friendship. Swadloon is a round, yellow Pokémon with two stubby arms inside of a cloak of leaves. It drapes the leaves over itself, with only a crescent-shaped opening for its face. This leafy cloak keeps the Pokémon warm. It has a gloomy, sorrowful, shy look. On its back are the veins of the leaf as well as a bit at the bottom tip of the cloak resembling a rounded tail. Swadloon lives on the forest floor and converts fallen leaves into nourishment, which helps the surrounding plant life grow. It prefers dark, damp places, eating fallen leaves all day. It uses the two leaves atop its head to detect air movements and feel out its surroundings. Swadloon's evolution via high friendship is sometimes interpreted as a metaphor for overcoming social anxiety.
