For ranked battles, give Swampert Earthquake, Waterfall, and Ice Punch, then use the last move slot for Stealth Rock or another coverage move. The supplied set offers attack options for different matchups, but it does not establish that this build is a proven or reliable sweep strategy.
Choose Swampert’s moves
- Earthquake: The draft identifies this as Swampert’s main Ground-type attack and lists Steel-, Electric-, and Rock-type targets.
- Waterfall: The draft lists Fire- and Ground-type targets and notes its chance to flinch.
- Ice Punch: The draft presents this as coverage against Grass- and Flying-type Pokémon.
- Last slot: Choose Stealth Rock if you want the listed support option, or use another coverage move, such as Liquidation, if you prefer an additional attack. The supplied material does not compare their results, so make this choice based on what your team needs.
Bring Swampert in carefully
The draft recommends switching Swampert into Electric-type attacks or predicted Fire-type moves, then using its attacks to pressure the opposing team. It also suggests bringing Swampert in after a teammate weakens the opponent. Treat these as situational choices, not guaranteed safe entries or knockouts.
Swampert can struggle against Grass-type attacks and faster opponents, according to the draft. Avoid exposing it to a likely Grass-type move, and consider team support or speed control if those are problems for your lineup. The supplied material does not provide specific teammates, item choices, or tested performance results.
