Mega Swampert is an amazing wallbreaker on rain teams due to its ability to outspeed most offensive threats like Dragapult, Tapu Lele, and Zamazenta with Swift Swim and threaten them with strong attacks that are further boosted by rain. Its Ground typing is also useful for these types of teams, as it gives them a Pokemon that can reliably take on Electric types like Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko. Flip Turn lets Mega Swampert lure in checks to it like Alomomola and Rotom-W and bring in teammates like Raging Bolt and Archaludon that can reliably take on these Pokemon. Stealth Rock takes advantage of the multiple switches that Mega Swampert and its teammates force to rack up chip damage against foes such as Ferrothorn and Mega Venusaur for Mega Swampert eventually being able to break through. Ice Punch hits Pokémon such as Rillaboom, Dragonite and Zapdos, while Superpower deals with Ferrothorn as well as being the best option against Ogerpon-W.

Mega Swampert is exclusively found on rain teams. Due to this, Pelipper is a required teammate, and it can get Mega Swampert in with U-turn against foes such as Raging Bolt. Because Mega Swampert struggles breaking through bulky Water-types such as Alomomola and Slowbro and also struggles with Grass types such as Rillaboom and Tangrowth, Pokemon like Zapdos and Tornadus-T are amazing partners, as they can reliably take them out for Mega Swampert. Mega Swampert outside of rain also has a very middling Speed tier, allowing Pokémon like Ogerpon-W and Zamazenta to effectively revenge kill it, and even in rain it is still outsped by options like Booster Energy Iron Valiant, so Pokémon like Raging Bolt and Barraskewda are effective partners to deal with these Pokemon. Raging Bolt in particular, as well as Archaludon, further help Mega Swampert against Grass-types by using them as setup fodder.

Mega Swampert is an amazing wallbreaker on rain teams due to its ability to outspeed most offensive threats mention what it outspeeds here with Swift Swim and threaten them with strong attacks from it's high attack stat further boosted by rain. It’s Ground typing is also useful for these these types of teams, as it gives them a Pokemon that can reliably take on Electric types like Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko. Flip Turn lets Mega Swampert lure in checks to it like Alomomola and bring in teammates like who? State them here that can reliably take on these Pokemon. Stealth Rock is an amazing option, as it allows Mega Swampert to take advantage of the multiple switches that it and it's teammates make to rack up chip damage, eventually leading to Mega Swampert being able to break through. Ice Punch allow Mega Swampert to hit Pokémon such as Rillaboom and Dragonite. Rillaboom was more relavant as it does swich into Mega Swampert is used for Grass types like Serperior and Meowscarada although they could 1v1 it in certain scenarios they don’t really switch into mega Swampert.,which can be very threatening to Mega Swampert due to it's quad weakness fluff , as well as dealing with Zapdos and Dragonite, while Superpower deals with Ferrothorn, as well as being the best option against Ogerpon-W.

Mega Swampert is exclusively found on rain teams, as it can use Swift Swim and it's Ground typing to switch in, outspeed, and threaten KO's on a vast majority of Pokemon with a rain boosted Liquidation. Due to this, a rain setter like Pelipper is a required teammate, as it can reliably get Mega Swampert in on an Electric-type attack aimed at it, and can start breaking down the opposing team get Mega Swampert in with U-turn against foes such as Raging Bolt. Even though Mega Swampert is an extremely strong Pokemon, it cannot touch Pokemon like Ogerpon-W and Alomomola, as well as Ferrothorn and Dragonite without coverage, so Pokemon like Zapdos and Tornadus-T are good partners to offensively pressure these Pokemon I feel these lines need to be reworded something along the lines of “Mega Swampert struggles breaking through bulky Water-types such as Alomomola and Slowbro.” “Mega Swampert also struggles with Grass types such as Rillaboom and Tangrowth. Mega Swampert outside of rain also has a very middling speed tier, allowing Pokémon like Rillaboom and Zamazenta to effectively revenge kill it, (RS)and even in rain it is still outsped by options like Booster Energy Iron Valiant, so Pokémon like Raging Bolt and Barraskewda are effective aamazing partners to deal with these Pokemon. Raging Bolt in particular also helps Mega Swampert with Mega Charizard Y, as the sun that it sets up removes the rain that Mega Swampert is so reliant on, and can OHKO it with Solar Beam. This sentence make it seems that Swampert is weak to Zard which isn’t really the case yes that scenario does exist but it really doesn’t wanna switch into Swampert. Instead you can mention how Raging Bolt and Archaludon answers the Grass-type Pokemon it struggles with such as Rillaboom.

Mega Swampert is an amazing wallbreaker on rain teams due to its ability to outspeed most offensive threats like Dragapult, Tapu Lele, and Zamazenta with Swift Swim and threaten them with strong attacks from it's high attack stat that are a bit filler further boosted by rain. It’s Ground typing is also useful for these these types of teams, as it gives them a Pokemon that can reliably take on Electric types like Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko. Flip Turn lets Mega Swampert lure in checks to it like Alomomola and Rotom-W, (AC) and bring in teammates like Zapdos Raging Bolt zapdos is ehhhh on rain compared to bolt and Archaludon that can reliably take on these Pokemon. Stealth Rock is an amazing option, as it allows Mega Swampert to take advantage of the multiple switches that it and it's teammates make to rack up chip damage against foes such as Ferrothorn and Mega Venusaur felt like examples were useful here, eventually leading to Mega Swampert being able to break through. Ice Punch allow Mega Swampert to hit Pokémon such as Rillaboom, (AC) Dragonite and Zapdos fixed sentence structure and Dragonite, as well as dealing with Zapdos and Dragonite, while Superpower deals with Ferrothorn, as well as being the best option against Ogerpon-W.

Mega Swampert is exclusively found on rain teams, as it can use Swift Swim and it's Ground typing to switch in, outspeed, and threaten KO's on a vast majority of Pokemon with a rain boosted Liquidation. Due to this, a rain setter like we aint using politoed Pelipper is a required teammate, as it can get Mega Swampert in with U-turn against foes such as Raging Bolt. Even though Mega Swampert is an extremely strong Pokemon, it struggles breaking through bulky Water-types such as Alomomola and Slowbro, and also struggles with Grass types such as Rillaboom and Tangrowth, so Pokemon like Zapdos and Tornadus-T are amazing partners, as they can reliably at least chip them down to the point where Mega Swampert can this is super vague ngl, how are they not taking them out, cuz if they switch then they wont get chipped either (esp tang), so the sentence doesnt rlly make sense take them out. Mega Swampert outside of rain also has a very middling speed tier, allowing Pokémon like Ogerpon-W and Zamazenta to effectively revenge kill it, and even in rain it is still outsped by options like Booster Energy Iron Valiant, so Pokémon like Raging Bolt and Barraskewda are effective partners to deal with these Pokemon. Raging Bolt in particular, as well as Archaludon, also help with Grass types, as Mega Swampert tends to struggle with these. further help against Grass-types by using them as setup fodder for Mega Swampert.

Mega Swampert is exclusively found on rain teams, as it can use Swift Swim and it's Ground typing to switch in, outspeed, and threaten KO's on a vast majority of Pokemon with a rain boosted Liquidation already stated in intro, and Liquidation isn't on this set (!!!) Due to this, Pelipper is a required teammate, as and it can get Mega Swampert in with U-turn against foes such as Raging Bolt. Even though Because Mega Swampert is an extremely strong Pokemon, it struggles breaking through bulky Water-types such as Alomomola and Slowbro, (RC) and also struggles with Grass types such as Rillaboom and Tangrowth, so Pokemon like Zapdos and Tornadus-T are amazing partners, as they can reliably take them out for Mega Swampert.
