Should I add Swampert to my team?
I’m thinking about adding Swampert to my main team. I have for a Water type now Milotic so I would replace Milotic. I think it would work well in double-battles with Charizard and it would also add another Pokemon immune to Sand Stream damage. It would also add a Fighting type move with Hammer Arm. My current team is:
CharizardSnorlaxMiloticTyranitarGArchompMetagross

I’ll admit, as much as I am annoyed about how much spotlight Swampert gets on the site (Not the user, but the Pokemon :P), Swampert would work in perfect synergy with almost every Pokemon on your team.
Swampert can Earthquake without hitting Charizard, and can hit slow with Avalanche, while Charizard hits fast with anything! Swampert, frankly, would clash with others, like Metagross and Tyranitar, but you wouldn’t be double-battling everytime.
Swampert and Garchomp would both have STAB Earthquake, resulting in a very powerful OU team. The mixed coverage against many types would also help out your teams small weaknesses.
My only issue with Swampert in this team, is that you’d then, have a whole team of Physical attackers, with the exception of (Possibly) Charizard. Snorlax would be your only means of sponging Special Attacks, and if you come across a strong Special - based team, you’re in for a close fight, and if not, a loss.
It’s really up to you, though. If you feel that there’s more upside to Swampert than downside (based on your team), then I’m not obligated to stopping you. :P
I Could Give You 500 Reasons to do this but ill only put the top 10, as it would take forever to read 500:

Swampert would be a good choice because currently alot of your team is composed of pokemon heavily damaged by electric. Swampert would help even the odds. It would pair well with charmander because charmander would obliterate grass and ice, when swampert would destroy rock and water. all in all, it would make a great team.
It depends whether or not you want a special or
psychial sweeper
milotic hypnosis( breeding ), ice beam, surf, attract
swampert earthquake, water fall, ice punch(move
tutor), hammer arm/brick break
personally I prefer swampert becuase I like ground types
especially torterra, swampert, and groudon. and as you
can see through what I wrote milotic woud be terrible in
double battles with charizard becuase of surf but
swamperts earthquake can’t hit him.
