Pokemon Review: Swampert

Swampert: The Mud Fish Pokemon



Swampert is a Water/Ground type released in the Hoenn region, otherwise known as the third region. It came into the franchise in Ruby and Sapphire.

Swampert is the fully evolved form of Mudkip. Mudkip is the Hoenn region's water type starter Pokemon. The evolution stages go Mudkip, Marshtomp, and Swampert. Marstomp evolves into Swampert at level 36.

Swampert is known for being the water type starter for Hoenn and for being an offensive tank.

Swampert's Pokedex entries state that he is very powerful, even to the point of being able to break a boulder with a swift chop. Swampert also lives near the sea, making nests out of boulders that it carries away.

Now that that's out of the way, onto the review!

Swampert is a very bulky and very offensive water type. And is a consideration of every Hoenn team.

Swampert is my favorite starter Pokemon because of the nostalgia I get from him and from his amazing capability defensively and offensively.

My personal favorite set for Swampert is a Choice Band. It has Waterfall, Earthquake, Stone Edge and Ice Punch. This thing can wreck through teams in seconds!

In game Swampert is no wimp. Even before the Physical/Special Split it was great! He is, as stated earlier, one of the third generation's starter Pokemon. He destroys half of the game and has an immunity to the electric type, which is extremely helpful while going through Hoenn.

Overall, Swampert is a great Pokemon for any team and should be considered! Get yourself a Swampert today!
