    Hey everyone, I have played the first two generations of Pokemon extensively, and almost beaten gen 2. With my gen 2 playthrough almost complete, I'm gonna play gen 3 next, playing Pokemon Sapphire next. I'm gonna choose Mudkip as a starter because it does best against the Hoenn gyms.

    Can you suggest which Pokemon would best fit a Swampert team? I'm wanting to choose Pokemon that would cover Swampert's weaknesses on the team and help the team hit whatever it can't.

    PS: This team cannot include legendaries or postgame Pokemon.
     

    Nah

    First thing to look into getting would be a Grass type counter, as that is Swampert's most obvious weakness. You have plenty of options for that given that Grass has several type weaknesses, but a Flying type would be a good choice, as it means you also have your Fly HM needs covered too.

    Having something else that can learn some of the Water HMs would be good too, so Swampert doesn't have to know all three Water HMs and so can diversify its moveset and be more useful.
