Good Partner for Swampert [Post Game Emerald]?

1 minute read

I’m doing a Swampert solo run in emerald, ut post game I need a Pokemon to help swampert out in double battles (gym rematches) and the doubles battle facilities , here is the set i' using:

Swampert @ LeftoversEVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SpARelaxed Nature- Earthquake- Ice Beam- Surf- Brick Break

Just a Pokemon to help it out in double (like maybe a flying type for earthquake? I’d don’t know) would be nice, thank you!

I would definitely recommend some kind of a flying Pokemon because they’re immune to earthquake and can cover grass and bug. A fire type attack can also cover grass and bug, but I’m pretty sure flying is better because fire isn’t very effective against water and dragon, while everything that resists flying is covered by Swampert’s earthquake. (also there are no good fire Pokemon in Emerald) I think these are the best flying Pokemon.

Gyarados @ leftoversAbility: intimidateEVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpeJolly nature- dragon dance- hidden power [flying]- taunt- earthquake

Salamence @ leftoversAbility: intimidateEVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpeJolly nature- dragon dance- fly/hidden power [flying]- earthquake- rock slide

Dodrio @ choice bandAbility: early birdEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly nature- return- drill peck- quick attack- steel wing/hidden power [fighting]

Crobat @ choice bandAbility: inner focusEVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpeJolly nature- sludge bomb- fly- shadow ball- steel wing/hidden power [fighting]

Of course, you can use different items if the item clause is annoying you.
