Swoobat questions

Is Swoobat a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Swoobat joins the collection from the Unova gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Swoobat in PokéSurvivor?

Swoobat is Psychic / Flying. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Swoobat be shiny?

Yes. A wild Swoobat is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Swoobat a rift legendary?

No. Swoobat can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
