Moves
========
  • Strongest STAB and gets rain boosted
  • Spread is neato and it also hits some Water resists
  • Kills some problematic Dragons such as Mence and Zygarde
  • Protect does Protect stuff
Set Details
========
  • Swampetite is necessary to allow Swampert to mega evolve
  • Damp is the preferred since Torrent is useless. It also protects Swampert from the rare Explosion and what not.
  • 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe and an Adamant Nature let pert hit as strong and as fast as possible, also letting it outspeed such threats as Deoxys-A under Rain or even speed tie with opposing Swampert in the case of a mirror match up.
Usage Tips
========
  • :thinking:
Team Options
========
  • Pelipper/Politoed are mandatory. Pelipper is especially good cause its immune to Pert's EQ. Politoed can be used if you want a bulkier, more reliable weather setter.
  • Checks to Grass-types. Skymin, Kyurem-B, etc.
  • Checks to Water-types. Skymin, Koko, Zapdos, etc.
  • Checks to TR

Other Options
=============
  • Rock Slide
Checks and Counters
===================

**Grass-type Pokemon**: It's 4x weak lol. Bulu also weakens EQ. Amoonguss can safely Spore it. All of them have to watch out for Ice Punch tho.

**Water-type Pokemon**: Fini, Milotic, etc.

**Opposing Weather**: Ttar, Zard, Tails, etc.

**Intimidate**: It's a physical attacker lol. Lando and Mence are still gonna die tho, and Scrafty will take a sizeable chunk in Rain.

**Tailwind and Trick Room**: By the very virtue of being a Swift Swim attacker, Swampert is vulnerable to opposing Speed control since it takes away one of its best virtues. Zap or Skymin for Twind, Hoopa or Zong for TR.
