Swablu is an avian Pokémon with a round, blue body. Since it has no discernible neck, its body appears to be all head. There are two long feathers on top of its head, and it has a short, rounded white beak and beady, black eyes. Its wings are fluffy and white, resembling cotton or clouds. It has tiny, white feet and two pointed tail feathers.
Swablu does not like dirty surroundings, so it cleans things with its cottony wings. It uses streams and freshwater springs to wash its wings when they become dirty from polishing. It is commonly found living in flocks in forested habitats, but often flies closer to towns during the spring. Swablu is very friendly and largely unafraid of humans. As a result, it frequently perches on people’s heads like a fluffy hat.
Ingredients
350g Cauliflower Florets
100g Kale (chopped)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
200g Sausage Meat
350g Cheese Sauce
100g Cheddar (grated)
Mixed Leaves (optional, to serve)
For the Swablu, I thought cauliflower would be a good ingredient to use to match the light cloud-like wings. I added some sausage and kale to add some depth and colour too.
Swablu is one of my favourite Cute Pokemon. I have a list of my favourite Pokemon, and then some cute Pokemon, which include the likes of Cutiefly, Swablu and Cubone. These would never make it in a normal team of Pokemon, but I love their look and cuteness that they get their own list!!
