| HP | 40 | 40 | 40 | 50 | 50 | 27 |
| Biggest attack | 10 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 23 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 27 Swablu cards that carry one. The typical card is 40 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 40 and 50 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

| Cards with an Ability | 2 | 7.4% |
| Cards with a special rule | 0 | 0.0% |
Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 27 Swablu cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.

| Legal in Standard today | 18.5% | 5 cards |

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Swablu cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
