Swampert

Swampert, The Mud Fish Pokémon. It is very strong. it has enough strength to drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. It also has powerful vision that lets it see even in Murky Water. It predicts storms by sensing subtle differences in the sound of waves and tidal winds with it's fins. If a storm approaches, it piles up boulders to protect itself. It's arms are so hard that with one swing they can batter down a foe. It nests on beautiful beaches.

Battle Moveset

A Good Moveset for Swampert would have to be this:

HP Flying OR Rock Slide

Chesto Berry

Preferred Nature:

Impish

Strategy Using Swampert

Swampert is one of the few type combinations that probably works in this pokemon's favour, making it immune to Electric types, a type it would normally be weak to if it were pure water.
Swampert's better stats is its attack, with its other stats, like special attack/special defense/defense being around average.
Curse on this pokemon will allow for some major defense and offensive increase to be gained. Along with Rest and Chesto berry, it can recover any HP lost while using Curse.
Earthquake is for stab purposes and just being an all round good move on a pokemon of this type. I would prefer HP flying on this pokemon due to the fact that its 4x weak to grass, but if you can't get HP flying, Rockslide will be one of the few choices you have.
When it comes to the nature and EV's, maxing out its defense may be a good idea although it leaves him open for a few special attacks, but you could always split the EV's into both defenses or entirely into Special defense.
Swampert has the lowest speed of all three of the Hoenn starters, but in my opinion, the more evenly spread stats out of all of them. Another possible moveset is, Swampert@chesto berry: Rest, Earthquake, Surf, Ice beam, although unoriginal.

EV Corner:

Max out the EVs in HP & Defense for Swampert with any remaining in Attack
