Evolution

2 stages
SwinubPiloswine

Evolves into Piloswine at level 33.

Evolve now or wait

from the game's learnsets and the relearner rule

Swinub evolves at level 33. Nothing is lost by evolving straight away: every move Swinub learns after that, Piloswine learns too.

Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner on Two Island (he takes two Tiny Mushrooms or one Big Mushroom) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
