Since they have a Blaziken vs Goukazaru poll, I decided to make one for Swampert and Dotaitos. Their first type is different, but their second type, Ground, is the same. And if you think about it, they are both attackers with high HP, good defenses and low speed, so in spite of primary type differences, they're actually more alike than we think.

My choice is Dotaitos. I sure love Swampert, but I still prefer Dotaitos, even though he has more weaknesses than Swampert :p.

Anyway, start voting!

The funny thing is that they both have the ability to inflict 4x damage to eachother.

Dotaitos needs a strong Grass attack.
Swampert needs a strong Ice attack.

I'm usually a fan of the Grass starter Poekmon ( well not really Chikorita ) but I am leaning more towards Swampert.
I dislike Mudkip/Marshtomp but Swampert was a great PKMN for my team in Emerald.

Dotiatos because it's Grass type.

But you all saw that coming, didn't you? (Well, maybe not)

Swampert, however, is probably one of my favourite starters that isn't Grass type, being an all round good Pokemon with only one weakness (albeit being a 4x weakness, but the fact that the type happens to be Grass is probably one of the reasons why I like Swampert - I can easily beat it with my favourite grassies).

I like dotaitos. It just be sweet to have a giant tortoise on my team :)

Somewhere a Blastoise weeps. :(

lol.

Anyway, I say Dotaitos due to it's uniqueness, swampert's shares it's type combo with Quagsire and Wiscash.

I like Raguraji better because it looks better to me.

But Dotaitos does have a unique type combo...

I still say Raguraji.=)
 
Swampert because it has good stats and good moves. Its combination makes it so it only a few weaknesses. And Swawmpert looks way better in my opinion.

I like Swampert better. I used to think it was creepy but now I think it's cool.
