Ok. In my pearl team, I wan t a Swampert with
Mirror coat
Arm hammer
Dive/waterfall
earthquake
The problem is, I want it to be maxed in Att and SP def, so I need the perfect nature to max it's evs. What is wrong with Mirror coat? I need to know. Also I need a good nature for beautifly to max in Att and Sp Def and Minun in SP Def and Sp Att.
 
use this:

Swampert @ Lefties
Impish/Careful

EQ
Arm Hammer
Snow Slide
Protect/Stealth Rock
EV's: 252 hp, 200 def, 52 atk

counters T-Tar with ease and rapes the dragon pokes to hell.

Hope i helped:)
 
you could try this
Swampert@leftovers
Brave
Snow Slide
Substitute
Focus Punch
Earthquake

EV's in HP
and then with whats left, half and half for attack and defense
also, use sub and then focus punch against T-tar and bliss.

Avalanche / Snow Slide deals jack to Salamance compared to Ice Beam, Intimidate or not. Swampert is better off going mixed considering the physical version is guaranteed to get walled by Skarmory.

The end result is still Swampert beating up Salamence, switching in or not in both cases
 
Quick question. What about Beautifly and Minun?! And nobody has still told me what's wrong with Mirror Coat. Why is everybody focusing on offense?! I know that Swampert is a physical sweeper, but it does need some sort of defensive attack and i think that's the perfect offense to grass types with the exception to physical ice attacks.
 
I'm actually using Swamps as my physical wall. He can take a beating and keep on kicking. Plus, people are hesitant to bring in Salamence or some special sweeper due to Ice Beam and Earthquake.
 
Correction: Swampert is NOT a physical sweeper, nor a physical wall. It is a bulky water. Bulky waters are specifically used to handle heavy physical sweepers like Salamence because of their ability to take attacks from them and dish it back out.

Beautifly and Minun are crap pokemon: there are way better bug and electric types out there.

Beautifly@lefties
Modest Nature
- Stun Spore
- Bug Buzz
- Shadow Ball
- Morning Sun / Roost

Minun@lefties
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- T-Bolt
- Grass Knot
- Wish / Substitute

OR

Minun@lefties / Petaya / Salac Berry
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot / Agility
- T-Bolt
- Substitute
- Baton Pass

What's the point in even having an "ingame team rate" forum if you guys are just gonna keep going back to the competetive sh*t with every "suggestion"? "It does so and so damage to Tyranitar" "Arm Hammer is only good for Mixlaxers bla bla"...how is that relevant to ingame?
 
Well, then what's the point of having an in game team rate forum?
Besides, some principles from competitive play DO still apply to in game play
 
Yeh obviously, but not the Pokemon specific damage done by certain moves...It's not like "Mixlaxers" and Tyranitars are gonna be popping up every five minutes is it? Even in the Battle tower.

You know what? You're perfectly right. There's no point in bringing competitive crap in here if it's only for ingame. In fact, I'm going to send a PM to one of the mods to close this section right now since it's so obvious everything works ingame.

Ingame RMT is such a shithole nowadays it's not even funny.
 
Maybe you should take a look at the ingame forum rules topic.

It's about being open minded and having the courtesy to appreciate that not everyone wants to use the same old powerhouse Pokemon or movesets specifically for taking out the few Pokemon eligible for competetive battling.

People don't want to hear things like "_ & _ are crap Pokemon"

If you hate it so much why not just stick to the competetive team rating.
 
Back quicky to swampert I got one

Swampert @ leftovers
Arm Hammer
Snow Slide
EQ
Stone Edge/Waterfall

A very similar and basically the same as magichand's set but with waterfall as an option.
 
You are still dodging the question??!!! What is wrong with MIRROR COAT?!!!! Explain to me why you'd rather my swampert have those attacks you posted in instead of mirror coat. Why is it not compattible with it? Is it a bad strategy? I need to KNOW!! Instead of bickering among yourselves, how about you do what the thread question is and just answer my question!! PLEASE!!!(have to still be polite even though I'm getting upset)
