When you use Mud Shot, all your opponent has to do is block. It charges up moves at the speed of light and makes it more difficult for them to avoid getting hit with something they don’t want in their face!
Why? Because of Hydro Cannon.
Hydro Cannon is the charge move with high DPE and fast enough to dish out massive damage. What makes this even better? Mud Shot, which also deals good amounts of it in minimum time! Beat that? Water Gun has an added bonus: if Swampert takes some hits while using this attack combo—it’ll be giving back more than you took off its opponent’s HP bar!
Earthquake is a super-powered move that works well as an extra charge. Despite being limited to just 1 bar, Swampert’s Mud Shot shines and helps power up this potentially OHKO attack quicker than anything else in the Master League meta! And with its abilitycharge up quicly Earthquake you can take out some of those premier monsters here on your way down lower ranks.
Hydro Cannon is a powerful move that can charge up quick. The power of Muddy Water steps over it completely and may not be amazing, but still very interesting nonetheless! Yes- you heard me right; I just said “Sludge Wave” which happens to have mixed reviews when fighting Swampert’s Grass counter foes like Venusaur (due to its own secondary Poison typing). This particular attack doesn’t do much against any other type besides Steel because they’re weak types with low attacking stats on their own so use this wisely until we get more information about your opponents’ teams or what moves could neutralize them better than others.

Hydro Cannon has truly changed the fortunes for this ruler of the muddy throne. PvP is not always about having a high DPS, it’s actually all about which moveset you have and how fast they are when your opponent needs them most! Accordingly Swampert struck gold in its super powered charge move alone – with only single type weakness too boot (though there could be more than one). What else can we ask?
One of the most fantastic aspects about Swampert is that it has a mega evolution. If and when Niantic implements this, I can guarantee you’ll be seeing more trainer teams with starters like Starmie or Suicune in them because they are just so powerful!
A starter Pokémon’s power lies not only in its abilities but also their type advantage which makes them perfect for inexperienced players who want an easy win before moving on to harder battles later down road. Starter Pokemon make great partners too- if your boi ( mud)friend loves water types as much as mine does then give him/her another reason why doing battle together never gets old by giving someone such amazing stats from birth.
