And isn't that just badass?

But this is pretty muh what he needed to become competitive! More buff! The only thing that sucks is his ability.


Noooooo!!!! He actually has a chance to be banned bro, his ability is perfect. If they dont even touch his speed (meaning reduce it), it has a good chance of going into ubers imo.

Here is a quick analysis of why M Swampert can go into Ubers (they need to nerf that speed if 60 already)...

                                                  HP     Atk     Def   Sp.Atk  Sp.Def   Spe

Swampert:      Water/Ground  100    110     90     85       90       60

M. Swampert: Water/Ground  100   140    120   105     110      60     Swift Swim

The problem is already its a tank with the uncommon type grass being its only weakness (thank arceus its x4!). 60 Base Speed doubled in rain makes it faster than every pokemon without any boost. Top this off with 140 base atk and Waterfall (80→120→240 Base Atk) with flinching O.o

Remember this, Mega Swampert looks slower so even if they refuce the speed to a 40 from 60, it still outspeeds many pokemon and that extra 20 goes into another stat!!!

What were they smoking when they decided to give this guy swift swim? Normal Swampert is already a friggin tank with literally just one uncommon offensive type weakness. M.Swampert is gonna be tanking hits AND outspeeding you in rain (although yes rain has been nerfed considerably in gen 6 but it can still work). I'm curious to see if he gets any proper stat boosting moves. Knowing GF they'll probably give him swords dance just for the lols.
