Torrent

Description

When this Pokemon is at 1/3 HP or less, all of its Water-type moves will have 50% more power.

Competitive Use

It has next to no use as an ability these days. None of the Water-type starters get much love these days, except for maybe Blastoise, who would much rather use Rain Dish to heal its health in Rain. Swampert has fallen from grace a by quite a bit, arguably being outclassed by Gastrodon and Quagsire in the Water/Ground department, and as Swampert is the most likely Pokemon to be seen with Torrent, it is very rarely seen as an ability.

Related Abilities

Overgrow, Blaze, and Swarm all do the same thing as Torrent except for Grass-, Fire-, and Bug-type moves respectively.
