Swoobat works as a great Calm Mind sweeper with its fantastic Speed, solid movepool, and its ability Simple. Stored Power is Swoobat's best Psychic-type STAB move, since it can accrue boosts quickly with Kee Berry + Calm Mind, surpassing Psychic's power after a single Calm Mind. However, Psychic can be used for more immediate damage and to revenge kill weakened or frailer foes like Simisage and Simipour. Signal Beam helps it hit the likes of Krokorok, Bronzor, and Duosion. Roost gives Swoobat a reliable recovery option to ease setting up, whereas Substitute blocks status from Pokemon like Servine, Klang, and Carbink and protects Swoobat from Sucker Punch from the likes of Furfrou and Pignite. Taunt takes on a similar status-blocking role like Substitute, but it has the added benefit of shutting down other utility moves like Calm Mind from Duosion, RestTalk from Klang, and Haze from Dusclops. Kee Berry boosts Stored Power more quickly and works around strong physical attackers like Persian and Pignite, whereas Leftovers helps Swoobat gain some passive recovery while it boosts up against slower attackers or is behind a Substitute.

Swoobat works best on hyper offensive teams that are looking for a sweeper. Meowstic is a great support Pokemon alongside Swoobat, with its dual screens giving Swoobat a much easier time at boosting in front of strong foes. Special wallbreakers like Magmar and Simipour help break down walls like Klang, Scraggy, and Dusclops, giving Swoobat an easier job at sweeping. Physical wallbreakers like Pignite, Sawsbuck, and Krokorok can make Swoobat's sweep easier, since they can help chip down threats like Gigalith, Politoed, and Bronzor. Entry hazard removers like Vibrava and Dustox as well as Taunt users like Pignite and Krokorok are vital, since they help Swoobat avoid taking too much chip damage. Hazard setters like Marshtomp, Whirlipede, and Gigalith help ease Swoobat's sweep, letting it hit KO ranges like OHKOing Offensive Stealth Rock Krokorok with +2 Signal Beam after Stealth Rock and a layer of Spikes.

Swoobat works as a great Calm Mind sweeper with its fantastic Speed, solid movepool, and its ability Simple. Stored Power is Swoobat's best Psychic STAB move since it can accrue boosts quickly with Kee Berry + Calm Mind, surpassing Psychics Psychic's power. However, Psychic can be used for more immediate damage without having to rely on setting up first. (This part is implied so I'd just add an example or two + smth like to pick off weakened foes because that's common enough on Screens or HO) Signal Beam helps it hit the likes of Krokorok, Bronzor, and Duosion. Roost gives Swoobat a reliable recovery option to ease setting up, whereas Substitute is to block status from Pokemon like Servine, Klang, and Carbink and protect Swoobat from Sucker Punch from the likes of Furfrou and Pignite. Taunt takes on a similar status blocking role that Substitute does, but has the added benefit of shutting down other Calm Mind from Duosion, RestTalk from Klang, and Haze from Dusclops. Kee Berry is for a quicker boost to Stored Power and a work around strong physical attackers like Persian and Pignite, while Leftovers helps Swoobat gain some passive recovery while it boosts up against slower attackers or is behind a Substitute.

Swoobat works best on very offensive teams that are looking for a sweeper. Meowstic is a great support Pokemon alongside Swoobat with its Dual Screens giving it a much easier time at boosting in front of strong foes. Special breakers like Simipour and Magmar Magmar and Simipour help break down walls like Klang, Scraggy, and Dusclops, giving Swoobat an easier job at sweeping. (Dusclops walls Magmar and Specs Magmar needs to hit 3 Fire Blasts to KO it, so this edit is just sentence structure/parallel since Knock Simi cripples Dusclops) Physical breakers like Pignite, Sawsbuck, and Krokorok can help ease Swoobats sweeping ability since they can help chip down threats like Gigalith, Politoed, and Meganium Bronzor. (More relevant+ sentence structure) Hazard removers like Vibrava and Dustox, as well as hazard preventors like Pignite and Krokorok, are vital since they help Swoobat from taking too much chip damage.

Add entry hazard setters as they're p common on HO and help Swoobat sweep more easily. For example, +2 Signal Beam OHKOes Krokorok after SR and a Spike.
