Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them sometime!

tell me
why didn't you give it scald

I'm currently still leveling it, right now its 41

Whats so WRONG WITH TAKE DOWN

[Ad Bot]

[Zanaran2]

Whats so WRONG WITH TAKE DOWN

crappy damage (swampert doesn't even get STAB on it)
imperfect accuracy
aaaaand recoil

[Khorde]

1. Whats STAB
2. Like I said I'm still leveling it
3. I just realized I never use it anyways

I'm new to this competitive thing

1. same type attack bonus, it gives moves that match your type a 50% boost
2. irrelevant
3. use a move that you'd use rather than having a dead slot.

Ok so now my Swampert only knows Ice Beam and Muddy Water

10/10

[KoopaScooper]

Take Down
Mud Bomb

This is where you forgeted up. Replace Mud Bomb with Earthquake. I'd probably give it Rock Slide for Take Down personally.

tell me

actually now that i think of it, burning is probably better than accuracy loss

10/10

use this:

ice beam
scald
earthquake
<fighting type move> or rest + chesto berry

Terrible suggestion

i like taking 50% less damage while im walling someone

[WaffleCake]

Terrible suggestion

scald does work
i've seen it on walls
i mean, with a chance of burn, it shouldn't be THAT bad

[KoopaScooper]

yes yes i was completely wrong and was thinking of my set from gen 3

[danisaac5]

use this:

ice beam
scald
earthquake
<fighting type move> or rest + chesto berry

What about a physical STAB move? Or is swampert's sp.atk higher than its physical attack?

Is Brick break good

[Khorde]

Is Brick break good

yes, but it really depends on the situation. I carry brick break on two of my teams just to smash klefki and meowstic's walls. if you plan on swampert being a support guy, then carry it. if you want more damage -- like an aggron or tyranitar smasher, go for hammer arm, your speed really does not matter.

Ok

Time to find a Scald TM now

Or is swampert's sp.atk higher than its physical attack?

let's just say he has decent base attack stats in general
