Actually try this set

Swampert @ Leftovers
Relaxed Nature
EVs: 240 HP / 58 SAtk / 212 Def
Relaxed
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power (Electric)
-Hydro Pump

Igf HP electric is for gyarados, rock slide is better for that...swampert needs some form of recovery IMO, which is why I use rest, and roar is good for annoying little CMcunes and the likes.

Oh, okay. But I'm not too sure of Destiny Bond yet. She's pretty slow, so I don't think Destiny Bond will do too well. Any other attack possible for that slot? I wanted to give her something to cover her weakness to Flying and Fire, that's why I placed Power Gem there in the first place.

Power Gem can work then if you had that consideration. But would it survive the attacks?

*avoids Flame war*

Candymancan, it seems the last warning I gave you because of your serious attitude problem hasn't helped you at all. Therefor I shall give you another. Even if you don't agree with someone else, you can still behave like a civilized person. Funny how you call others immature, but at the same time you're the one throwing insults at people.

Oh, and by the way, if you would have played Pokémon, you'd know that even if "Hax" means hacked in other games, in Pokémon it means twisting the odds or getting ridiculously lucky with added effects and the like.

THANK YOU SMARTIES! Now then...

It just occured to me we don't even know if Satsusen wants to use swampert O_O But if you do, I encourage you go with mixpert. Cursepert is okay, but not as good...

How does one properly utilize Swampert anyway? I've always made mine a Physical Wall-sweeper.

I'd give her full HP EVs, most likely. And with her defenses, yeah, I'm guessing she would. I'd avoid Rock as much as I can, though. :|

EDIT: SMARTIES-CHAN! Thank you! (Are you really just 10 yrs old? That's incredible... 0_o)

Swampert don't usually need Rock Slide but since I've never tried Swampy with Rock Slide I'm not going to argue there...

I was thinking..swap either EQ/ Hy Pump for Rest?

Swampert is too slow to sweep. It counter TTar very niceley, and takes a chunk out of skarmblissdol, mostly skarm. It can't really hurt bliss much, especially since levitators and flyers switch in like crazy against it, which is hydro pump's main use. It 2HKOs skarm, though I haven't run claculations for claydol.

It is mostly a tank really, and can PHaze too. With enough special attack, ice beam will be totally loling at dragons (and with enough defense and HP, swampert can take a hit easily from Cbmence and launch back IB for the OHKO). It was the best starter ever, though infernape now gives it a run for its money.

You know what Im thinking? Swampert will own in a Trick Room user team..and lets EQ stay since steel types are common nowadays (feed that to TTar hmm), oh plus the Ice Beam for Mence, Garchomp and all that jazz..

Blissey... THAT'S why that Swampert had Hammer Arm! Lol!

Okay, okay... So my old Pert wasn't exactly a "sweeper" per se. I guess I misused the term. I meant that it could take out a lot of enemies by itself. I think "tank" would've been the appropriate term. Sorry for the mix-up.

I've always loved Swampert, but felt too incompetent in using him competitively since I didn't know which one of his many builds to use in battle most efficiently. He became confusing to me, and I stopped using him altogether.


Follow-up: Could a mod please delete the unnecessary flame war posts and quotes from the thread, please? They kinda bring me down everytime I have to scroll past them. Thank you!

Well, mixpert is the best build IMO. Blissey probbaly won't be staying in long against swampert anyways, so yeah...
