Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Flip Turn
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge / Mirror Coat
[SET COMMENTS]
With an excellent defensive typing, solid bulk, Flip Turn, and good utility with Knock Off, Swampert is a premier RegenVest pivot that checks notable special attackers such as Gholdengo, Zapdos, and Iron Moth while also getting in offensive teammates with its slow pivoting. Stone Edge hits Zapdos, Volcarona, and Dragonite, while Mirror Coat can be used against setup attackers like Enamorus-T and strong special attackers such as Walking Wake and Latios. Flying-types like Corviknight and Mandibuzz appreciate Swampert's Electricimmunity, letting them reliably check physical attackers and remove entry hazards. Frail offensive Pokemon like Azelf, Chien-Pao, and Barraskewda benefit from Swampert, as its slow pivoting lets them come in more safely, and they can also take advantage of its Knock Off removing items from their common checks such as Deoxys-D and Corviknight. Swampert maintains much of its special bulk through its Assault Vest, so it's vital to have Knock Off absorbers such as Corviknight and Great Tusk for Swampert to more reliably check special attackers. Grass-resistant Pokemon like Heatran and Well-Baked Body Gholdengo are also good teammates for Swampert, as special attackers such as Iron Moth and Deoxys-S frequently run Grass-type coverage predominantly for it.
