    Swampert is a better overall poke, but it depends on your team. BTW, cursepert is really meh, I could never use it with much success. Mixpert is better. It can hit lots more, faster.
     
    I suggest Slack Off on Slowbro instead of Grass Knot. Lets you live longer and use CM then Slack off the damage.

    I would use Slowbro. I run into those alot on Shoddy and they give me a pain. They also screw my Gyarados over.
     
    Trying to depict which one to use for MFGG's Tourney, are we?

    Swampert would be the personal choice, although you shouldn't really rely on Curse for that kind of thing.
     
    Or if you're looking for a tankish Swampert, I'd go with this:

    Swampert @ Leftovers
    Impish Nature
    EVs: 252 HP/200 Def/58 Atk

    Waterfall
    Earthquake
    Stealth Rock
    Roar

    Bulkywater/Tank. Waterfall and EQ for STAB attacks, SR+Roar combo for team support and Pseudo-hazing.
     
    My all-time favorite swampert is easily mixpert with:

    Swampert @ Leftovers
    Trait: Torrent
    EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SAtk
    Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
    - Hydro Pump
    - Earthquake
    - Roar / Rest
    - Ice Beam

    Really works well.
