With the game’s themes of land and sea, Team Aqua vs Team Magma, Swampert is a glorious example of both uniting to be a powerful force. It was born in water as Mudkip, wanders onto land and swims faster through mud as Marshtomp, and unites the two perfectly as a fully evolved beach dwelling Swampert.

Swampert getting DAMP as a hidden ability was the greatest hate crime against it by gamefreak. To this day, it still hasn't been changed and has little utility. They gave mega swamp swift swim but left base swamp untouched and unbuffed. Could also argue it's weird for an axolotl to not have viable recovery beyond rest? Thematically it should get something like recover since they can regenerate so well. Maybe switch damp for regenerator? Considering speed boost blaziken exists, i think swampert deserves some love

Swampert is the best starter for a Hoenn play through simply because of its lack of bad matchups, the only ones being the rival's Treecko/Grovyle/Sceptile, Sidney's Cacturne and Shiftry, and random route trainers who happen to have Grass Pokemon; those can be easily dealt with by a teammate. It's had solid competitive success too, even though power creep wasn't kind to it over the years and losing its Mega in Sword/Shield sucked.

to be fair, gen 3 and 4 were the gens that basically provided the foundation for modern day pokemon (1 and 2 wer almost like a completely different franchise competetively). Thus, a lot that can be said about a pokemon in those gens also applies to later gens. So they usually don't repeat those things over and over again.

Swampert remaining in OU and UU for several generations was certainly an impressive feat though falling into RU in generation 9 is somewhat of a shame. The loss of mega evolution did hurt Swampert somewhat but regular Swampert still showed just how good a Pokémon Swampert is within the competitive scene.

Great vid, I think for BW VGC you missed that Swampert did actually have an excellent showing at Worlds 2012, with Kasty reaching top 8 in the Masters division and Jaime Martinez got 2nd in Senior division. It had a niche as a bulky water that could both take on Tyranitar/Metagross/Garchomp among others whilst also not fearing Thundurus-I. Whilst it did face competition from Gastrodon - who was far superior in the Rain matchup, it could be used on compositions that covered this weakness with the other members of the team. Also Swampert won UK Nationals 2009 and was generally a strong but underutilised mon in the DPP VGC era.

Swampert is way closer to a mudskipper than an axolotl. Also, if they gave regenerator or recover to Pert it would immediately be compared to Milotic and Toxapex and hated for being do-nothing recover walls. I like how surprisingly defensive and threatening swampert is in spite of its lack of recovery.

Gen 3 Swamper may have been great, but Mega Swampert was absolutely stupid. Swift Swim on top of 150 attacking stat, STAB EQ and water attacks powered up by rain. One of my greatest fears in gen 7 OU.

Swampert, in my opinion, is the best example of how a game could manage power creep. Sure, it was affected a bit, but it was never truly "outclassed" in the excellent jobs it would take.

Swampert had a tendency to be overlooked for players of the main game in rse and oras because blaziken was a comfortable choice for the whole game and sceptile looked so cool. But damn was it a competitive beast, and it came back with even more vengeance in oras in rain teams Getting swept by it on showdown convinced me to try a rain team during gen 7 and it was the only themed team i used in ou for quite a long time, which i normally dislike due to their niche nature, but mega swampert was just that much of a beast in rain.

Mudkip isn’t exactly overlooked. In fact, it’s the best starter for a Hoenn playthrough, whether it’s R/S/E or OR/AS because its matchups against the bosses are consistent.

@fuyuk1r1ft8 9 ай бұрын
@@chaosgallade2331 it's undoubtedly the best starter, but for a first time player of the games, or someone not playing for a competition, it's unlikely they woul choose mudkip. Sceptile had huge press coverage with ash's badass one and its own cool design amd blaziken is just too comfortable early game.

@@jaretco6423 I mean there is objectively nothing wrong with Swampert and I can admit it's one of the best designed Pokemon that still holds up. But water was never one of my favorite types and growing up I clicked much more with Sceptile and Blaziken so it's probably just nostalgia for the other starters
