Swampert

Swampert distinguishes itself from other bulky Water-types thanks to the combination of its wide utility movepool and Ground typing that leaves it with only one weakness, letting it compress roles for offensive teams. Additionally, its solid bulk lets it function as a blanket check to physical threats like Bisharp and Mamoswine. However, Swampert's lack of reliable recovery makes it prone to getting worn down by the Pokemon it's supposed to check; it can also be whittled down by fellow utility Pokemon like Umbreon and Chesnaught. Additionally, Swampert struggles to handle strong Flying- and Grass-types like Noivern and Hisuian Lilligant, respectively. At most, Swampert can only remove their items with Knock Off before being threatened out by their powerful attacks that target its lower Special Defense and its 4x Grass weakness, respectively. Swampert also competes with the tier's many bulky Water-types for a teamslot; in particular, thanks to their access to reliable recovery, Slowbro and Empoleon give it competition as a physically bulky Water-type and Stealth Rock setter, respectively.
