Mega Swampert is a common pick on rain teams thanks to Swift Swim and its typing. Its Electric immunity is invaluable for rain teams, which can struggle against foes such as Tapu Koko. Ice Punch covers foes such as Mega Latias, Tangrowth, Tera Grass Volcarona, and Dragonite. Flip Turn provides momentum against defensive checks such as Tera Water Skeledirge, Slowbro, and Rotom-W. Alternatively, Superpower hits Ferrothorn and secures a KO on Kartana, while Stealth Rock takes advantage of forced switches. However, losing Flip Turn's momentum can be harmful for rain teams, since they have a limited number of weather turns to take advantage of. Pelipper sets rain for Mega Swampert while also acting as a slow pivot, granting it free switches. Ferrothorn sets entry hazards to weaken foes for Mega Swampert, checks opposing rain teams featuring faster Swift Swim users such as Barraskewda and Floatzel, and switches into foes such as Dragapult. If Mega Swampert runs Stealth Rock, Ferrothorn can take advantage of the extra moveslot to run more utility options. Mega Swampert struggles against foes such as Ferrothorn and Tangrowth, so it appreciates Tornadus-T handling them. Tornadus-T also switches into Grass-type moves for Mega Swampert, helping alleviate its massive weakness against foes such as Kartana. Mega Swampert also appreciates Barraskewda significantly wearing down their shared checks such as the previously mentioned Rotom-W and Slowbro, which creates opportunities for each other to sweep the opposing team.

Mega Swampert is the premier rain attacker thanks to its Swift Swim ability and typing. i would rly argue that barra is more dangerous than it rn, reword to make it not sound like its this good The Electric immunity it provides is invaluable for rain teams, which can struggle against foes such as Tapu Koko. Earthquake hits foes that resist Waterfall such as Toxapex or Tera Water Gholdengo. would honestly use another example like gastro Ice Punch provides coverage for foes such as Tera Grass Heatran or Garchomp without Tera. tran shouldn't be teraing in front of you unless flame body + chomp is a shoddy switchin, use examples like dnite Flip Turn provides momentum against foes such as Tera Water Skeledirge, Slowbro and Rotom-W. Alternatively, Superpower allows Mega Swampert to hit opposing Ferrothorn while Stealth Rock takes advantage of forced switches to set hazards. mention freeing up a slot for ferro as well so it can run spikes Mega Swampert fits exclusively on rain teams, where it can take advantage of teammates such as Pelipper, Ferrothorn and Tornadus-T. filler, we know this Pelipper sets rain for Mega Swampert to activate its Swift Swim ability and elevate its wallbreaking potential with boosted attacks. Pelipper also acts as a slow pivot, granting free switches for Mega Swampert. against what mons? also mention scald burns wearing down those same mons Ferrothorn sets hazards to weaken foes for Mega Swampert, while checking opposing rain teams featuring faster Swift Swim users such as Barraskewda or Floatzel. Mega Swampert struggles against opponents such as Tera Water Skeledirge and Tangrowth, so it appreciates Tornadus-T handling them. Tornadus-T also switches into Grass-type moves for Mega Swampert, helping to alleviate its massive weakness to Grass-type attacks. mention barraskewda wearing down shared checks significantly alongside mpert

Mega Swampert is a common pick on rain teams thanks to its Swift Swim ability and typing. The Electric immunity it provides is invaluable for rain teams, which can struggle against foes such as Tapu Koko. Earthquake hits foes that resist Waterfall such as Toxapex or Gastrodon. Ice Punch provides coverage for foes such as Mega Latias, Tangrowth, Tera Grass Volcarona or Dragonite without Tera. Flip Turn provides momentum against foes defensive checks such as Tera Water Skeledirge, Slowbro and Rotom-W. Alternatively, Superpower allows Mega Swampert to hit opposing Ferrothorn and securing a kill on Kartana while Stealth Rock takes advantage of forced switches to set hazards. mention the drawback to using them over flip turn. Stealth Rock also frees up a moveslot on Ferrothorn to use Spikes. Pelipper sets rain for Mega Swampert to activate its Swift Swim ability and elevate its wallbreaking potential with boosted attacks. In terms of teammates, Pelipper sets rain to boost Mega Swampert's offensive prowess, while also acting as a slow pivot, granting free switches for Mega Swampert against foes such as Great Tusk and Mega Scizor. idk which gtusk or msciz is coming in on peli. List mons that would typically want to come in and take advantage of peli, which then peli can then uturn on to bring in mpert to clean up. Pelipper also has a chance to burn these foes with Scald, helping to wear them down. Ferrothorn sets hazards to weaken foes for Mega Swampert, while checking opposing rain teams featuring faster Swift Swim users such as Barraskewda or Floatzel. mention the ferro spikes pt here Mega Swampert struggles against opponents such as Tera Water Skeledirge and Tangrowth, so it appreciates Tornadus-T handling them. Torn doesnt rly handle skele at all, find another eg. Tornadus-T also switches into Grass-type moves for Mega Swampert, helping to alleviate its massive weakness to Grass-type attacks. instead of saying grass attacks mention the specific grass attackers ie kart ferro. Mega Swampert also appreciates Barraskewda significantly wearing down their shared checks, which creates opportunities for them to sweep the opposing team. shared checks like who?

overall some common problems i read are
- sentences just flowing weirdly; a lot of the time you wrote a few words about one aspect when you could've more than likely combined it with the other sentence.
- examples not being fleshed out enough; while they might be good egs in theory, in actuality the situations they're portrayed in would not happen as much. I think you had some decent ones at the start but not as much in the end.

if you want any pters feel free to pm me, lmk when implemented

In terms of teammates, Pelipper sets rain to boost Mega Swampert's offensive prowess, while also acting as a slow pivot, granting free switches for Mega Swampert. Pelipper takes advantage of hazard setters such as Great Tusk looking to set rocks against Ferrothorn to double switch and U-turn on them to bring Mega Swampert in. Ferrothorn sets hazards to weaken foes for Mega Swampert, while checking opposing rain teams featuring faster Swift Swim users such as Barraskewda or Floatzel. Could also say it fulfills a role your typical steel ie pivoting into pult/lele If Mega Swampert chooses to run Stealth Rock, Ferrothorn can also take advantage of an extra moveslot to run more utility options to set Spikes. Mega Swampert struggles against opponents such as Ferrothorn and Tangrowth, so it appreciates Tornadus-T handling them.
