Sproink, Blazion and Swelton

Blizzaria
Swelterrier and Blizzaria have a very turbulent relationship. Despite Blizzaria trying to hang around with him under believing that Cold and Hot groups are more equal than different, she does not realize she is causing more harm than good -albeit unwillingly- with her ice powers. In turn, Swelterrier seems to panic when Blizzaria encounters him.

History
Swelterrier first appears in EP081, when he, Blazion, Sproink and Swelton enjoy a party at Nate's House - as suggested by Blazion - and causing extreme heat to Nate and his friends. Nate summon Walkappa to try dowsing the heat, but naturally the kappa cannot stand the heat and wrinkles. The tables are turned when Blizzaria arrives at the house in search of Swelterrier and unwillingly crashes the party with her ice powers. Swelterrier then gives Nate his Yo-kai Medal - encased in ice.

In EP083, in Inaho and USApyon's quest for Blizzaria -which is the Yo-kai needed for their rocket's cooling system- Swelterrier appears with his group and Blizzaria once again freezes them cold.

In EP091, Swelterrier and his group participate in the Red and White Song Battle as the 'Atti Soul Brothers', on behalf of the Red Team.

In EP095, Nate first summons him to help Annojoe with his training by having him withstanding the extreme heat. However, the training is thwarted by Blizzaria, who is searching for Swelterrier once again.
