Ice Punch or Avalanche for Swampert?

Question

Swampert's speed is pretty low so I was just wondering if Ice Punch or Avalanche would be better? It's defense is strong enough to withstand an attack from a grass type attack (hopefully) so I would think Avalanche is better, but I need some second opinions.

Also, is there any other way to get Avalanche without breeding? All like 7 of my Mudkips/Marshtomps/Swamperts are male... -_-

Answer 1

Avalanche is arguably best for regular Swampert, and Ice Punch for a Mega Swampert.

And the only way to get Avalanche on it without breeding is by TM... in Gen 4. So yeah, breeding only.

Oh I guess I'll go with Ice Punch then. Thanks!

Answer 2

ice punch is physical and does more damage that avalanche.If swampert is low,swampert will just be killed since avalanche has a priority of -4
