Well, let’s see what we have here… Bulky Water type with only one weakness, amazing Attack stat, and can set up Rocks… Let’s begin, shall we?

Swampert @ LeftoversTrait: TorrentEVs: 252 Atk / 176 HP / 80 DefAdamant Nature- Stealth Rock- Waterfall- Earthquake- Stone Edge

So, the goal of this set is only to set up Stealth Rock. If you accomplish that and can take another hit or two or twenty, then this set provides some physical coverage for you. Waterfall just lets you hit anything like the firetrucker you are. Earthquake and Stone edge let you form an EdgeQuake combo, thus meaning nothing will be resisting these moves. Working best in OU (with this set), you are guaranteed to take stuff down, or set up rocks at least :P

Swampert @ LeftoversAbility: TorrentEVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SpDCareful Nature- Flip Turn- Earthquake- Stealth Rock- Waterfall/RoarA stealth rocks lead. Flip Turn pivots out, and Earthquake and waterfall are stab. Leftovers can heal off damage, and it can take hits and lay out the stealth rocks. Roar can force switches

Swampert @ LeftoversAbility: TorrentEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpABrave Nature (+Atk, -Spe)

Substitute allows it to pull off Focus Punch and is good all around protection.Focus Punch has very good power and can be used pretty reliably thanks to Sub.STAB Earthquake has very good power as well.Ice Beam rounds out the coverage by hitting Flying types, mainly.Ice Punch can also be used if you prefer to stick to Physical moves.Brave nature is used to boost attack while still not lowering any of the defenses or SpA so Ice Beam can be used.

Doubles Support SwampertSwampert (M) @ Sitrus BerryAbility: TorrentEVs: 252 HP / 220 Atk / 36 SDefCareful Nature- Wide Guard- Waterfall- Earthquake- Roar

Wide Guard and Roar are handy in that Wide Guard allows your team to avoid spread damage attacks, allowing the partner to avoid damage from the likes of Earthquake, Rock Slide, etc. while attacking the opponent, and Roar can force out a potentially burdensome opponent, like a trick room user (it should be noted that roar has a greater priority than trick room) and disorient the opposing player. The EVs allow Swampert to survive a water gem boosted Hydro Pump from Politoed in rain, Latias’s dragon gem draco meteor, and even support Thundurus’s Grass Knot to name a few, while also granting Swampert considerable attacking power.

Made this set during my car ride to Florida, just now getting around to posting it up!

Da Swamp (Swampert) @ Lum BerryAbility: TorrentNature: ModestEVs: 196 HP / 252 SpA / 60 SpD

-Scald (STAB. Burn gives good physical protection.)-Ice Beam (Great coverage.)-Hidden Power [Electric] (More great coverage. Pairs well with Ice Beam.)-Rest (Gives some kind of reliable recovery to an extent. I also have mine on a team with Cleric Bliss. So… Wish passing and Heal belling ftw!)

Swampert @ Petaya BerryTrait: TorrentEVs 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Hp / 4 AtkQuiet Nature~Substitute~Hydro Pump~Earth Power~Ice Punch

So everyone knows how “SubPetaya Empoleon"was a threat in UU Thats how I came up with this set Tho Swampert isn’t the fastest he is pretty bulky and has an average Sp.Atk stat with can be worked around with EV investment. So basically the strategy is to set up sub till your down to 25% then Smash. AnywayFeel free to leave comments on this

This one’s my personal favorite. Swampert is beast!

Swampert @Assault VestAbility: TorrentEVs: 252 Attack, 252 HP, and 4 DefNature: Adamant (+Att , -Sp.Att)

This was my first post on this website so thanks for reading!

Swampert@SwampertiteAbility:DampEVs:252 Atk / 8 Def / 252 SpeAdamantNature-Rain Dance-Earthquake-Waterfall-Ice Punch

Swampert is a monster in the rain. Rain Dance is in my opinion, the better option rather than wasting a slot for Politoed in a team, since Swampert definitely has the bulk for setting up a Rain Dance with 100/110/110. Once in the Rain, you can outspeed almost everything barring Scarfed Greninja and kill them with that epic 150 attack with a rain-boosted STAB Waterfall.

Swampert@SwampertiteAbility:DampEVs:248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpDor248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpDImpishorCarefulNature-Waterfall-Earthquake-Rest-Sleep Talk/Toxic/Yawn/Roar

And lets make use of those good defenses with a ResTalk set to take hits and wear opponents down. Swampert has 336 attack uninvested, so it’ll still hit things relatively hard for such a defensive Pokemon. Get in there with STAB Waterfall and Earthquake, then Rest and Sleep Talk for healing and continuing to get damage off. Toxic can also work if your team needs it, or Yawn or Roar for forcing switches.

I think that with the speed Swampert has, I won’t boost it.

Swampert (M) @ LeftoversAbility: TorrentEVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def / 4 SpABrave Nature- Stealth Rock / Roar- Earthquake- Ice Beam- Hammer Arm / Roar

Mainly for UU. This Swampert aims to stay in on threats that wall it, and destroy them with ease. Roar is a great asset to this Swampert, for if you don’t need either of those moves, replace it with Roar. Standard EVs from TankPert. Ice Beam over Waterfall to destroy those pesky Gligar and Grass Types more easily. Snorlaxes and Porygon2s with Thunder Wave can get destroyed by Hammer Arm.

-Waterfall / Aqua Tail (STAB)-Earthquake (STAB + very good move)-Ice Punch (Swampert’s main coverage + every Water type should have Ice type moves)-Stone Edge (High crit chance + very good move)

Swampert @ LeftoversAbility: TorrentEVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDefAdamant Nature- Waterfall- Avalanche- Earthquake- Curse

This is my opinion.

Hey guys this is my 1st guide so I hope you guys LIKE it :P

WarNinG (Swampert) (M) @ LeftoversAbility: TorrentEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk/ 4 SpDAdamantNature

-Earthquake: (STAB MAN!)-Ice Ball: (Coverage, and it is painful due to the POWER-UP-PUNCH!)-Power-Up-Punch: (Good to increase Swampert’s Attack and become muscular fish…..lol)-Substitute!: (To block the status like burn, and is a combo with Ice Ball + Power-Up-Punch!)

Well my Swampert will basically switch in when against a wall or something that can’t hurt Swampert badly, such as Blissey or Fire Punch. Then I will use Substitute first for some protection. After that, I will see what Pokemon the enemy switches in. If it is not harmful to Swampert, I will use MUSCLE-BUILD-PUNCH and raise my Attack 1 stage. In the opposite scenario, I will switch or damage it with Earthquake. Then, I will see my Substitute has break or not. If not, I just Earthquake it to death, or I will use Substitute again. Due to Swampert’s Attack, you may have a chance to OHKO it with the boosted Earthquake, if it is not, just use Ice Ball :D This works when the opposing Pokemon faints with 30 base damage Ice Ball, then the Ice Ball will become a Super Sweeping Ball! So this is my guide, you can comment this if you want :)

Swampert @ Assault VestAbility: Damp / TorrentEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDImpish Nature-Avalanche-Earthquake-Power-Up-Punch-Stone Edge

This was inspired by a Mudkip I got on Wonder Trade. This is tested in Pokemon Showdown, and he is the end of the world if used right. And you don’t have to use use Politoed, but you can use my Empoleon set! He is a support Empoleon, so look at it in his moveset question. Now, here is the set.

Swampert @ SwampertiteAbility: Damp / Swift SwimJolly NatureEVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HPIVs: 0 SpA

-Waterfall (for STAB and killer coverage.)-Earthquake (must I say why?)-Ice punch (for giving Grass types frostbite.)-Brick break (for breaking bricks.)

And just to note, if you can’t use my Empoleon set (which is recommended), you can use anyone who has Drizzle. Hope you like it :)
