[OVERVIEW]
Water
========
Swampert has a phenomenal Water / Ground typing that leaves it with only one weakness and provides Water teams with a very important Electric immunity. Furhtermore, Swampert has access to a wide array of useful utility moves to support the team such as Stealth Rock and Roar. Its amazing bulk allows it to take hits and safely set entry hazards or run defensive sets as Mega Swampert. Mega Swampert is a solid sweeper as well thanks to gaining Swift Swim as an ability, outspeeding many offensive threats in rain such as Landorus, Mega Lopunny, and Tapu Bulu. The last is a giant threat to Water teams, which makes Mega Swampert’s access to Sluge Wave notable. However, Swampert is held back by an unfortunate lack of reliable recovery and therefore no longevity. Furthermore, it has a 4x weakness to Grass-type moves, which is very counterproductive for Water teams. Another setback for Swampert is that it has no offensive presence unless it's Mega Swampert, and despite an amazing base 150 Attack stat, Mega Swampert is often walled because it lacks a wide pool of reliable coverage moves. It is also completely crippled by burns, as it will no longer be the great wallbreaker it was. Lastly, despite Swampert’s solid bulk, its vulnerability to residual damage prevents it from switching in and out of the battle constantly.

name: Defensive (Water)
move 1: Stealth Rock

move 4: Earthquake
item: Leftovers / Swampertite

nature: Relaxed
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
Stealth Rock breaks opposing Focus Sash and gets useful residual damage against the opposing team that Swampert's teammates take out opposing threats like Zapdos more easily. Scald is used to get burns against threats that would normally switch in on Swampert, wearing them down. Roar prevents sweepers from easily setting up on Swampert because of its lack of offensive presence. Earthquake is used to hit the Electric-types that give Swampert's teammates a lot of trouble.
Set Details
========
Maximum Defense and HP investment paired with a Relaxed nature gives Swampert enough bulk to take hits from imposing physical attackers. Torrent is the preferred ability, as it gives a weakened Swampert a strong Scald. Furthermore, Explosion and Self-Destruct are not relevant, so Damp wouldn't have any use. Leftovers is used to make up for Swampert’s lack of a reliable recovery move. However, Swampertite is another possible item because Mega Evolving gives Swampert better bulk.
Usage Tips
========
In general, Swampert should be the lead, as getting Stealth Rock up as soon as possible is very important. As it has a very important utility role on the team, Swampert receiving too much damage when its Electric immunity is essential should be avoided. It should also be preserved in matchups where Stealth Rock pressure and the ability to phaze sweepers are extremely important. Another way to ensure Swampert's longevity is to prevent it from being hit by Knock Off, which removes its only form of recovery. In addition, it should not take too much residual damage from entry hazards and must not be affected by status such as burn or poison. Therefore, Swampert shouldn't stay in on walls known for carrying status moves such as Porygon2. Despite this, Swampert can take the burn for a teammate if absolutely necessary, as it relies more on spreading burns with Scald than actually being a physically offensive threat. While Swampert is used for its Electric immunity, it needs to be wary of the many Electric-types that carry Grass-type coverage. It is essential to be careful around Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Xurkitree, and Alolan Raichu, which can proceed to trample the team if they catch Swampert with a Grass-type move. To prevent Swampert from being setup bait, use Roar to force out Pokemon that try taking advantage of its passive nature. Said move also prevents opponents from pulling double switches and in fact should be used to push out incoming threats while also slowly weakening them with residual damage. Swampert can safely pivot in on threatening physical attackers and cripple them with burns. In similar fashion, its Scald can also be used to burn bulkier threats. If Swampertite is being used instead of Leftovers, it is essential to Mega Evolve immediately to get the increase in bulk. However, defensive Mega Swampert needs to be played with very carefully because it has absolutely no form of recovery.
Team Options
========
Gyarados is a great sweeper that can check the Grass-type Pokemon that threaten Swampert thanks to its Water / Flying typing and access to Supersonic Skystrike. Also, Swampert can safely switch into the Electric-type and Rock-type attacks directed at Gyarados. While not a sweeper like Gyarados, Mantine is a great partner for similar reasons. Together with Swampert, it forms a solid defensive core in which each Pokemon can safely take the attacks that would be super effective on the other. Mantine can also assist Swampert in shutting down setup sweepers by neutering special attackers like Volcarona with Haze. Toxapex can also easily switch in on Grass-type attacks, wear down the opposing team with Toxic Spikes, and use Haze to render setup sweepers useless. Tapu Fini prevents status and entry hazards from causing too much residual damage to Swampert thanks to Misty Terrain and Defog. In addition, it also handles the Dragon-type Pokemon that Swampert struggles against. Calm Mind Mega Slowbro takes the dangerous physical attacks that would hurt Swampert too much. Another amazing Calm Mind user is Substitute + Calm Mind Suicune, which is an excellent partner because of its ability to completely break down teams and stall out Mega Venusaur. Mega Sharpedo and Mega Gyarados take advantage of the residual damage caused by Swampert’s Stealth Rock and Scald burns to sweep opposing teams. Greninja can also sweep opposing teams with support from Swampert while also checking threats that completely wall it such as Grass-types, Dragon-types, and bulky Psychic-types with moves like Ice Beam, Gunk Shot, Hidden Power Fire, and Dark Pulse. Another special attacking option would be Keldeo, which can assist Swampert by taking on threats like the Eviolite core of Chansey + Porygon2.

Moves
========
Stealth Rock facilitates sweeping for Mega Swampert and it’s teammates by breaking Focus Sash and weakening the opposing team with residual damage. Overall, it helps Mega Swampert's teammates KO opposing threats like Zapdos much more easily. Waterfall is a powerful STAB move that is used to sweep opposing teams in the rain. Earthquake is the STAB attack that can be used to beat Pokemon that Waterfall can’t such as Toxapex, Volcanion and Jellicent. Sludge Wave is used to take out the immense threat that is Tapu Bulu, which Mega Swampert can OHKO after Stealth Rock damage despite its lacking Special Attack.
Set Details
========
252 Attack EVs paired with an Adamant nature allow Mega Swampert to sweep in rain. 4 Special Defense EVs prevent Pokemon with the Download ability from getting a Special Attack boost when they switch into Swampert. 252 Speed EVs and Swift Swim allow Mega Swampert to outspeed a big part of the metagame in rain, therefore placing a lot of pressure on the opposing team.
Usage Tips
========
Swampert should be used as a lead to get up Stealth Rock early-game. This puts a lot of pressure on the opponent, limiting their switches. However, be wary of Grass-type coverage on Electric-type Pokemon. Swampert won't always be able to freely get up Stealth Rock against them. It is crucial to avoid being crippled by burns, which render Mega Swampert practically useless for the remainder of the battle. In fact, it is best to save Mega Swampert for a late-game sweep once its threats are either weakened or knocked out. Also, it should absolutely be used only in rain to sweep and break teams. Outside of rain, it would be too slow to perform as a sweeper and would lack slightly in power without the rain boost on Waterfall. Sludge Wave should be carefully used and not revealed in order to bait in and KO an opposing Tapu Bulu. Fast Choice Scarf users, such as Latios and Terrakion, should be removed before Mega Swampert attempts to sweep because they can possibly revenge kill Mega Swampert even with its Swift Swim boost.
Team Options
========
Pelipper is a crucial partner for Mega Swampert, as it can set rain, get rid of entry hazards, and allow Mega Swampert to take advantage of rain on several occasions thanks to its nice bulk and access to recovery. With access to U-turn, Pelipper can safely bring in Mega Swampert once the rain is up. To support Pelipper, Politoed with Eject Button can be used as a secondary rain setter. Its item will allow Swampert to safely enter the battle without suffering too much unnecessary damage. Kingdra is an amazing Pokemon to pair with Mega Swampert, as it helps it in sweeping and breaking the opposing team under rain. While Mega Swampert can take care of more specially defensive Pokemon, Kingdra can attack the physically defensive ones. Also, it handles the Dragon-types that Swampert can't touch without Ice Punch. Gyarados and Manaphy are great Z-Move users to pair up with Mega Swampert because they both can check Mega Venusaur. Gyarados in particular has great synergy because Mega Swampert can switch in on the super effective Electric-type and Rock-type attacks. Choice Band Azumarill helps break frustrating defensive cores like Porygon + Chansey and Cradily + Ferrothorn. It can also help against Dragon-types. Likewise, Keldeo is another Pokemon that can help break those defensive cores while simply being a reliable sweeper to assist the team. Greninja can set up Spikes to cause even more residual damage to the opposing team and also be an offensive threat with its wide variety of coverage moves. It can help against the Grass-types, Dragon-types, and Psychic-types that are quite troublesome for Mega Swampert. On the more defensive side, Toxapex is also an interesting partner that can wear down the opposing team with Toxic Spikes. This makes it easier for Mega Swampert to sweep as the game progresses. Also, it can safely switch in on attacks aimed at Swampert such as Grass-type ones.

Other Options
=============
Water
========
Swampert can run Mirror Coat with Rindo Berry, a set that has the niche of catching big threats by surprise. Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard Y, and many other special attackers can be easily dealt with this way. However, it can be unreliable once your opponents gain knowledge of your use of this set. For example, Mega Venusaur can easily scout for this set by hitting Swampert with Leech Seed or Sludge Bomb. An alternative way of forcing threats to switch out instead of Roar is Yawn. However, it doesn't have the same guarantee of pushing out a threat that Roar provides. Swampert can also run Toxic to spread status, but that would require replacing one of its very important moves. Also, it can run Protect along with Leftovers in order to regain some health and to scout the opponent. Mega Swampert can also run a Jolly nature in order to outspeed threats like Choice Scarf Latios and other fast Choice Scarf users such as Terrakion and Nihilego in rain. It can run Ice Punch as another attack in order to help against Dragon teams and Grass-type Pokemon. However, this leaves it completely vulnerable to a fully healthy Tapu Bulu. Another attack option is Superpower, as it aids against threats such as Ferrothorn, Cradily, Porygon2, and Chansey. However, the Attack drop kills Mega Swampert's ability to sweep. Lastly, Mega Swampert has enough bulk to run Rain Dance to safely set up its own rain.
Checks and Counters
===================
Water
========
**Grass-types**: Bulkier Grass-types such as Cradily, Ferrothorn and Mega Venusaur can completely shut down Swampert and use it as a way to get back HP through Recover, Synthesis, Leech Seed, Giga Drain.
**Grass-type Coverage**: Swampert's quadruple weakness to Grass-type moves makes it very vulnerable to Grass-type coverage from the likes of Tapu Koko, Xurkitree and Alolan Raichu.
**Dragon-types**: Without Ice-type coverage, Swampert can't pressure Dragon-types that have Levitate or that are part Flying-type. These Pokemon, on the contrary, can heavily damage Swampert or even OHKO it.
**Fast Choice Scarf Users**: As Mega Swampert has such a low Speed stat, extremely fast Choice Scarf users like Latios and Nihilego can easily outspeed Adamant Mega Swampert in rain and OHKO it.
**Physically Defensive Walls**: Pokemon like Porygon2 and Slowbro can safely take hits from Swampert and whittle it down with moves like Toxic and Scald.
**Bulky Water-types That Are Immune To Ground**: Swampert is completely walled by Pokemon like Mantine and Rotom-W. Not only do they safely take hits from it, but they can also cripple it with burns. Mantine is an especially nasty threat because of its ability to absorb the Water-type attacks Swampert uses and Defog away Stealth Rock.
**Status**: Being a physical sweeper, Mega Swampert becomes practically useless when burned because it cannot break foes effectively. Poison can also hinder Swampert's longevity.
**Trace**: Pokemon with Trace can copy Swift Swim and possibly sweep Swampert’s team if the right conditions are met.
**Wallbreakers**: Powerful wallbreakers, such as Keldeo, Mega Charizard Y, and Landorus, can completely obliterate Swampert while not being too threatened by its lacking offensive presence.
**Knock Off**: Knock Off, from the likes of Bisharp and Mega Gallade, removes Leftovers Swampert's only way of recovering some HP, which reduces its presence in the battle.
