>>29437289Swellow would have a Water/Flying form and have a light-blue replace its lighter parts, and its tail would be more wavy and free-form and light blue. This mon is also a lot more thin and agile. It'd overall have a cooler expression and learn moves like Aqua Jet/Waterfall and Ice-type moves.
Its stats would be focused on its Attack and Speed, making it a glass cannon.
Abilities would be Lightning Rod/Cloud Nine.
Its lore would be that Jubilife City trainers often used Taillow and Swellow for acrobatic acts across the city to attract large crowds, but, due to growing lack of interest, they trained their Pokemon to be able to preform during Thunderstorms, acting as living Lightning Rods, adding much to the spectacle. To do this, they had their Swellows dive down into bodies of water which were then given a shock with growing power until they became immune. However, as a slight backdraw to this, their tough feathers have lost their strength and become loose and more fur-like, and their time within the water has re-classified them to the Water typing.
(Sinnoh Form Taillow is similar in design, but much less noticeable.)
