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.
