[SET COMMENTS]
Swampert's good matchups against entry hazard removers like Excadrill, Rotom-W, and Salamence and access to Flip Turn make it a solid option for offensive teams as a Stealth Rock setter. Its typing allows it to check important threats like Cinderace, Victini, and Excadrill, and utility options like Toxic and Yawn are useful to pressure Defoggers or force switches, respectively. Flip Turn allows Swampert to function as a slow pivot and bring another teammate in safely against Pokemon like Mega Venusaur, Clefable, and Slowbro. Toxic cripples Defoggers like Rotom-W and Salamence and walls like Slowbro, Tangrowth, and Gastrodon. Yawn is an alternative that can discourage setup sweepers like Calm Mind Latias or Clefable from taking advantage of Swampert, and it synergizes well with Flip Turn and entry hazards by forcing the opposing Pokemon to switch out and surrender momentum. A Relaxed nature with 0 Speed IVs is used to ensure Swampert is as slow as possible, letting it use Flip Turn after the opposing Pokemon attacks. Swampert fits best on offensive teams looking for a pivot that can set up Stealth Rock and safely bring in frail wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Latios against walls like Slowbro. Pivots like Cinderace and Thundurus-T can create VoltTurn cores and enjoy Swampert bringing them in against Pokemon like Mega Venusaur and Celesteela. Celesteela in particular appreciates Swampert's Electric immunity and ability to check Cinderace, Rotom-W, and Zeraora; in return, Celesteela deals with Grass-types that annoy Swampert like Tangrowth, Amoonguss, and Tapu Bulu. Slow wallbreakers like Iron Hands, Choice Band Tyranitar, and Choice Band Bisharp can pressure Pokemon that Swampert invites in like Slowbro, Salamence, and Clefable. The latter two are especially notable since they can Pursuit trap Slowbro, and all of them enjoy Swampert's ability to keep entry hazards up and maximize their wallbreaking potential. Finally, Swampert is very reliant on Leftovers to check threats like Cinderace as it lacks other forms of recovery, making Knock Off absorbers like Mega Tyranitar, Mega Venusaur, and Z-Move Hydreigon great partners.

Swampert's good matchups against entry hazard removers like Excadrill, Rotom-W, and Salamence and access to Flip Turn makes it a solid option for offensive teams as an entry hazard setter. Its typing allows it to check important threats like Mega Tyranitar, Pert dislikes Knock a ton, it's a shaky and another example is probably better Cinderace, and Excadrill, while utility options in Toxic or Yawn are useful to pressure Defoggers defoggers or force switch ins switches, respectively. Flip Turn allows Swampert to function as a slow pivot and bring another teammate safely against Pokemon like Mega Venusaur, Clefable, and Slowbro. Toxic cripples Defoggers defoggers like Rotom-W and Salamence and walls like Slowbro, Tangrowth, and Gastrodon. Yawn is an alternative that can discourage setup sweepers like Calm Mind Latias or Clefable and sinergizes synergizes well with Flip Turn and entry hazards by forcing the opposing Pokemon to switch out and generate momentum. A Relaxed nature with 0 Speed IVs are used to ensure Swampert is as slow as possible to use Flip Turn after the opposing Pokemon attacks. Swampert fits best on offensive teams looking for a pivot that can set up Stealth Rock and safely bring in frail wallbreakers against opposing walls. Give examples for both Pivots like Cinderace and Thundurus-T can create pivoting cores and enjoy Swampert bringing them in against Pokemon like Mega Venusaur and Celesteela. Celesteela in particular appreciates Swampert's Electric immunity and ability to check Cinderace, Rotom-W, and Zeraora; in return, Celesteela deals with Grass-types that annoy Swampert like Tangrowth, Amoonguss, and Tapu Bulu. Slow wallbreakers like Iron Hands, Choice Band Tyranitar, and Choice Band Bisharp can pressure Pokemon that Swampert invites in like Slowbro, Salamence, and Clefable. The latter two are notable as they can Pursuit trap Slowbro and all of them enjoy Swampert's ability to keep entry hazards up to maximize their wallbreaking potential. Finally, Swampert is very reliant on Leftovers to check threats like Cinderace, Explain why making Knock Off absorbers like Mega Tyranitar, Mega Venusaur, and Z-Move Hydreigon great partners.

Swampert's good matchups against entry hazard removers like Excadrill, Rotom-W, and Salamence and access to Flip Turn makes make it a solid option for offensive teams as an entry hazard a Stealth Rock setter (no reason to not be specific since it learns no other hazards). Its typing allows it to check important threats like Cinderace, Victini, and Excadrill, while and ("while" is improper here because you'd usually use it to display contrast, but instead it was used here to connect two separate points about Pert's strengths) utility options in Toxic or Yawn like Toxic and Yawn are useful to pressure defoggers Defoggers or force switches,(AC) respectively. Flip Turn allows Swampert to function as a slow pivot and bring another teammate in safely against Pokemon like Mega Venusaur, Clefable, and Slowbro. Toxic cripples defoggers Defoggers like Rotom-W and Salamence and walls like Slowbro, Tangrowth, and Gastrodon. Yawn is an alternative that can discourage setup sweepers like Calm Mind Latias or Clefable from taking advantage of Swampert,(AC) and it synergizes well with Flip Turn and entry hazards by forcing the opposing Pokemon to switch out and generate surrender momentum (the opposing mon isn't generating momentum, Pert is generating momentum). A Relaxed nature with 0 Speed IVs are is used to ensure Swampert is as slow as possible,(AC) letting it to use Flip Turn after the opposing Pokemon attacks. Swampert fits best on offensive teams looking for a pivot that can set up Stealth Rock and safely bring in frail wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Latios against walls like Slowbro.
