==Effect==
===Generation III===
This move will fail if the user has not used . If Swallow is used after stockpiling, it recovers the user's HP depending on the number of times Stockpile was used:
* 1× → 25% of the user's maximum HP
* 2× → 50% of the user's maximum HP
* 3× → all of the user's maximum HP
After Swallow is used, the stockpile count will be reset to 0.
Swallow can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if was used in the previous turn.
===Generation IV===
Swallow now removes any Defense and Special Defense boosts gained through Stockpile. However, it simply will say the effect wore off without showing stat changing, unlike Stockpile.
===Generation V onwards===
The Stockpile removal is now shown as a stat change. For each Stockpile that successfully changed a defensive stat, that stat will drop by two stages if the Pokémon has at the time of using Swallow, rise by one stage if the Pokémon has at that time, or drop by one stage with any other Ability. Stockpiles that did not result in stat changes (most likely because the stat was already maxed out) are not taken into account for this adjustment, but Stockpiles that resulted in stat changes which were later erased by a move such as or are.
Swallow can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, giving an extra three appeal points if was used in the prior turn.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Swallow, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
