A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
Colorless type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥25 effectively one-shots it.
A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

How to beat Swablu

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Swablu is real?

Swablu is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
