Thanks. Would you mind telling me what that move to cover that weakness is? Swamperts/Mudkips/marshtomps weakness is grass and the move that it can learn is ice beam, which counters grass, but ice beam is a TM not a naturally learned move. Unless you were thinking of TM`s lol.
I never said anything about only naturally learned moves. Blaziken and Sceptile's best moveset both include Move Tutor moves only accessible at the Battle Frontier, a place you can only get to after you beat the E4. Swampert gets Surf, Ice Beam, and Earthquake long before then. I am not encouraging trainers to waste their EQ on Swampert, but stating the fact that it can learn it before then.
Swampert is a great physical sweeper but IMO that brick breack would be better used for a fight type, like breloom or hariyama.
NEVER use Brick Break on a Ground Poke. A STAB EQ does more damage than a SE BB. The physical sweeper is Curse/EQ/RS/Rest.
My emerald file was "erased due to corruption or damage" and I dont know why, which is why I needed this starter help :)
So now that i`ve chosen mudkip.....Any tips on how to train it?
