Swampert-Mega @ Swampertite
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 248 HP / 84 Atk / 176 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Refresh
- Flip Turn / Liquidation
- Stealth Rock / Knock Off
Mega Swampert brings a refreshing change of pace thanks to its Refresh set giving it additional longevity. With Refresh, Mega Swampert has far more freedom to click STAB moves such as Earthquake and Liquidation to dish out heavy damage against Mega Aggron and Slowking, who otherwise wear it down with status. Mega Swampert can run Flip Turn to generate momentum off of Grass-types it lures in such as Mega Sceptile, Tapu Bulu, and Tangrowth; bringing in progress makers such as Slither Wing or Okidogi. Liquidation can be used on bulkier teams looking for a tank to spread damage against Gligar, Crobat, and Bulky Slither Wing. Mega Swampert employs a utility move, such as Stealth Rock or Knock Off, on its last slot to maximize its value due to taking a team slot reserved for bulky Ground-types like Gastrodon or Mega Steelix. Mega Swampert's EVs are set up to 3HKO Mega Aggron with Earthquake and outpace Modest Primarina to hit it with Earthquake before it’s hit by Hydro Pump or Energy Ball. Mega Swampert synergizes with pivots such as Crobat or Cyclizar who U-turn against Ground-type weak switch-ins such as Tinkaton or Fezandipiti. Both offer removal for Mega Swampert and serve as a buffer against Grass-types and Electric-types that carry Grass-type moves like Mega Manectric and Thundurus.
