Mega Swampert is a premier special wall thanks to its great typing and decent bulk. It has a good matchup against common special attackers like Miraidon, Eternatus, and Blacephalon. Knock Off is a useful utility move, removing items like Imposter Chansey's Eviolite, Miraidon's Covert Cloak, and Primal Kyogre's Assault Vest. Stone Axe can be used to set up Stealth Rock, and threaten physically frail Pokemon like Mega Beedrill and Blacephalon, while Mortal Spin can be used for entry hazard removal, and in conjunction with Knock Off, poison walls that would otherwise be immune thanks to Covert Cloak, like Miraidon and Ice Scales Primal Kyogre. Mega Swampert is a particularly good user of this Mortal Spin thanks to hitting Steel-types like Mega Steelix and Dialga-O with its Ground-type STAB move. Mega Swampert is mainly used as a special wall and slow pivot, making teammates such as Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Diancie suitable partners. Despite its good special bulk being further boosted by Assault Vest, its physical bulk is middling at best, meaning common mixed attackers like Mega Mewtwo X and Deoxys-A largely don't have trouble with it. Therefore, Fur Coat Miraidon and Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy are nice defensive options. Since Mega Swampert's Mortal Spin + Ground-type STAB move threatens most Pokemon, a Take Heart Arceus forme with a held Plate is the easiest Imposter-proofing option.

Mega Swampert is a premier defensive wall This is rather misleading as Swampert is neither a premier defensive pick nor is RegenVest mainly as a defensive wall thanks to its great typing and decent bulk. It's typing and item helps it against common special attackers like Blacephalon, Mega Gardevoir, and Lunala Compress these two sentences to something like "... capable of checking (or has a good matchup against) ...", also it most certainly does not handle Mega Garde and neither Lunala when SNR Lunala's Stored Power is a 43.8% to OHKO, pick some other examples. Flip Turn is Mega Swampert's STAB pivoting move and is used to gain momentum STAB + mandate pivot on RegenVest, don't need to mention, Knock Off is a useful utility move removing items like Imposter Chansey's Eviolite, Miraidon's Covert Cloak, and Primal Kyogre's Assault Vest. Stone Axe can be used to threaten frail physical like Mega Beedrill and Blacephalon What does this mean? It makes it sound like you are using Stone Axe to damage them (when your Ground STAB does more) and you skipped mentioning the important part of Axe, while Mortal Spin can be used for entry hazard removal, and in conjunction with Knock Off, can poison walls like Covert Cloak Miraidon and Primal Kyogre Mention how Swampert is a solid user of the move due to STABs. The fourth option is a secondary STAB move for Mega Swampert, Precipice Blades for more power, while Earthquake can be used for less power but more accuracy. Mega Swampert is mainly used as a special wall and slow pivot, making teammates such as Mega Beedrill and Mega Diancie suitable teammates Is there anything that sets these two apart. Despite its good bulk being further boosted by Assault Vest, it is very weak to Magic Guard users that run Chloroblast like Mega Mewtwo X and Deoxys-A. Therefore, Fur Coat Miraidon and Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy are nice defensive options. Mention Imposter-proof

Mega Swampert is a premier defensive wall thanks to its great typing and decent bulk. It has a good matchup against common special attackers like Blacephalon, Arceus-Ghost, Eternatus Miraidon, Eternatus, and Blacephalon. listed in order of importance; far and away the biggest reason you use this mon is as a mirai annoyer, etern does so much dmg to where the best case early on is just trading knock for ~80% hp. arc-ghost mention gone because take heart and snr sets laugh at this Knock Off is a useful utility move removing items like Imposter Chansey's Eviolite, Miraidon's Covert Cloak, and Primal Kyogre's Assault Vest. Stone Axe can be used to set up Stealth Rock, which threatens frail physical like Mega Beedrill and Blacephalon, while Mortal Spin can be used for entry hazard removal, and in conjunction with Knock Off, can poison walls like Covert Cloak Miraidon and Primal Kyogre that would otherwise be immune thanks to Covert Cloak, like Miraidon and Ice Scales Primal Kyogre. Mega Swampert is a particularly good user of this move thanks to hitting Steel-types like Mega Steelix and Dialga-O looking to switch in with its Ground-type STAB move. The fourth option is a secondary STAB move for Mega Swampert,; (comma to semi-colon) Precipice Blades for has more power, while Earthquake can be used for less power but more accuracy is more accurate. Mega Swampert is mainly used as a special wall and slow pivot, making teammates such as Mega Beedrill Mega Mewtwo X more relevant example that enjoys not having to switch in on knocks and Mega Diancie suitable teammates. Despite its good bulk being further boosted by Assault Vest, it is very weak to Magic Guard users that run Chloroblast like Mega Mewtwo X and Deoxys-A its physical bulk is middling at best, meaning common mixed attackers like Mega Mewtwo X and Deoxys-A largely don't have trouble with it. Therefore, Fur Coat Miraidon and Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy are nice defensive options. Since Mega Swampert's Mortal Spin + Ground-type STAB move threatens most Pokemon, Kartana and Celesteela are good Imposter-proof options for Mega Swampert a Take Heart Arceus forme with a held Plate is the easiest Imposter-proofing option. double passive slow pivots, esp when steela's getting knocked + axed, is really not worth

Mega Swampert is a premier defensive special I'm going to assume Mega Swampert is purely a special wall as you outright mention its middling physical bulk later on. wall thanks to its great typing and decent bulk. It has a good matchup against common special attackers like Miraidon, Eternatus, and Blacephalon. (AP) Knock Off is a useful utility move, (AC) removing items like Imposter Chansey's Eviolite, Miraidon's Covert Cloak, and Primal Kyogre's Assault Vest. Stone Axe can be used to set up Stealth Rock, (RC) which threatens frail physical and threaten physically frail Pokemon like Mega Beedrill and Blacephalon, while Mortal Spin can be used for entry hazard removal, and in conjunction with Knock Off, can poison walls that would otherwise be immune thanks to Covert Cloak, (RC) like Miraidon and Ice Scales Primal Kyogre. Mega Swampert is a particularly good user of this move Mortal Spin thanks to hitting Steel-types like Mega Steelix and Dialga-O looking to switch in that's already implied with its Ground-type STAB move . There is a space between "move" and the period, remove it The fourth option is a secondary STAB move for Mega Swampert; Precipice Blades has more power, while Earthquake is more accurate. This sentence is largely fluff and dex info, I recommend stating important KO thresholds for Precipice Blades. If you do add them, you can delete "The fourth option is a secondary STAB move for Mga Swampert;" as that's already very clear here. Mega Swampert is mainly used as a special wall and slow pivot, making teammates such as Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Diancie suitable teammates partners. To avoid repetition of "teammates" Despite its good special bulk being further boosted by Assault Vest, its physical bulk is middling at best, meaning common mixed attackers like Mega Mewtwo X and Deoxys-A largely don't have trouble with it. Therefore, Fur Coat Miraidon and Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy are nice defensive options.

- As GP. we want to avoid making content changes. Changing defensive to special makes sense and you've justified it, but it's better to just leave a comment suggesting content edits instead of making them yourself. Some writers see the red blue markup and blindly make changes withotu questioning if they're accurate to teh meta or not, so commenting means they have to engage and choose.
- I think "looking to switch in" is important content to keep - it's not common knowledge that a Steel-type would hard switch into a Ground-type regardless, so keeping the info that they switch in to block mortal spin can help a new player make that connection. Particularly in complex OMs, removing implied information may make sense to you but could be harder for a new player to understand. Again, just a comment instead of a removal goes a long way in letting the writer assess how true the change would be to the meta.
