Swampert (M) @ Rindo Berry
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Counter
- Mirror Coat
- Earthquake
- Waterfall

Answer 1

• Waterfall (STAB + AMAZING with Swampert's attack)
• Avalanche (for grass coverage, complements Hammer Arm)
• Hammer Arm (good power and accuracy)
• Earthquake (obviously)

Comments

The ice type attack is nice, But Swampert won't be taking grass type attacks well, Especially the STAB ones, He shouldn't stay in on them anyway.

Answer 2

Gen V

Swampert (M) @ Rindo Berry
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Mirror Coat
- Roar
- Counter
- Stealth Rock

Answer 3

Swampert @ Leftovers

Trait: Torrent

EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpA

Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spe)

• Substitute
• Focus Punch
• Earthquake
• Ice Beam/Ice Punch

Substitute allows it to pull off Focus Punch and is good all around protection.
Focus Punch has very good power and can be used pretty reliably thanks to Sub.
STAB Earthquake has very good power as well.
Ice Beam rounds out the coverage by hitting Flying types, mainly.
Ice Punch can also be used if you prefer to stick to Physical moves.
Brave nature is used to boost attack while still not lowering any of the defenses or SpA so Ice Beam can be used.

Answer 6

Tank Swampert

Ability: Torrent
Item: Rindo Berry
Nature: Adamant (+ Atk, -SpA) OR Careful (+SpD, -SpA)
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 SpD, 4 HP OR 252 HP, 252 SpD, 4 Atk
- Waterfall- physical STAB move
- Earthquake- coverage, STAB, and generally awesome
- Curse- increase your power and bulkiness while reduce your pointless speed
- Stone Edge/Avalanche- high power coverage move

Comments

Careful raises SpD, not Speed.

That's what he put. SpD is Special Defense, not Speed. Spe is Speed.

Answer 7

Item: Evolite
Ability: Torrent
Nature: Brave
Role: Tank

---

Toxic
Protect
Earthquake
Avalanche

---

Toxic+Protect is a deadly combo. Earthquake is for coverage annoying Steel types. Avalanche covers Grass Types.

Comments

Just a note: I use this same set on my Marshtomp, but instead of Avalance use Waterfall, that also works pretty nice for the little dude.

I think that with the speed Swampert has, I won't boost it.
