Garchomp or Swampert?

Sep. 19, 2018

This is not a “best team” thing, but my current team for online battling is Hawlucha, Mega Scizor, Garchomp, Mimikyu, Swampert and Zapdos.

Here’s the thing, I use both Swamp and Chomp on doubles, and Swamp as my singles lead, and I don’t want repetitive types so I need to ask: Should I take off Garchomp and replace it, or take off Swampert and replace it?

Comparison!

Swampert may have less weaknesses, but Garchomp’s mega rules all. Swampert is basically useless without a Keystone, Garchomp is still a great Pokemon with a Keystone or not! Also, a BST of 600 is pretty good compared to 535, but that doesn’t mean Swampert is totally useless. Garchomp is better at Solo, but Swampert is the absolute god of Doubles.

Overall, the winner is…..Garchomp!
