Swift Wing is a consumable item in the Pokémon series known for its ability to enhance a Pokémon's Speed stat. When a Pokémon consumes a Swift Wing, it grants a permanent increase of 1 EV (Effort Value) to the Pokémon's Speed stat. This makes it a useful item for players aiming to optimize their Pokémon's performance in terms of speed, allowing them to potentially outspeed opponents in battle.
Swift Wings are particularly valuable for competitive players who meticulously train their Pokémon to reach specific stat benchmarks. The item is most commonly obtained through certain in-game events, defeating specific Pokémon species in the wild, or as a reward from various NPCs within the game. In some games, Swift Wings may also be found on the ground in certain locations, or purchased with in-game currency in specific shops.
An interesting fact about Swift Wing and other similar wings (like Genius Wing for Special Attack or Muscle Wing for Attack) is that they provide a much smaller boost compared to other EV training methods,
