Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Ruby	SWELLOW flies high above our heads, making graceful arcs in the sky. This POKéMON dives at a steep angle as soon as it spots its prey. The hapless prey is tightly grasped by SWELLOW’s clawed feet, preventing escape.
Sapphire	SWELLOW is very conscientious about the upkeep of its glossy wings. Once two SWELLOW are gathered, they diligently take care of cleaning each other’s wings.
Emerald	A SWELLOW dives upon prey from far above. It never misses its targets. It takes to the skies in search of lands with a warm climate.
FireRed / LeafGreen / X	If its two tail feathers are standing at attention, it is proof of good health. It soars elegantly in the sky.
Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2	It circles the sky in search of prey. When it spots one, it dives steeply to catch the prey.
HeartGold / SoulSilver / Y	It dives at a steep angle as soon as it spots its prey. It catches its prey with sharp claws.
Omega Ruby	Swellow flies high above our heads, making graceful arcs in the sky. This Pokémon dives at a steep angle as soon as it spots its prey. The hapless prey is tightly grasped by Swellow’s clawed feet, preventing escape.
Alpha Sapphire	Swellow is very conscientious about the upkeep of its glossy wings. Once two Swellow are gathered, they diligently take care of cleaning each other’s wings.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
