MetaMons competitive notes
Swampert is a water/ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 535 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 60) and a physical attacking profile. Its Torrent ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Swampert. Build around what Swampert actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
