Thread: Blastoise vs Swampert

I said Swampert,but I'm not really a Water type user, I have both and they make a good tag team.Perfect for Protect/Earthquake combo.

Swampert. He shreds nearly everything.

Swampert. Its usefulness is immediately apparent. With Blastoise, their are better spinners out there. But Blastoise is quite awesome too.

BLASTOISE GO GO GO!

Blastoise. Of course. :]

Swampert. Better movepool and I prefer its typing to Blastoise.

Blastoise could beat Swampert with water type moves such as Hydro Cannon since he's also ground but Swampert can also fight Blastoise with some hard moves like Earthquake and Hammer Arm...so I like both of them but a turtle with pumps in its shell is totally cool so I vote Blastoise (since I cant vote both)

Swampert. Not only is it good at what it does (taking hits, supporting the team, attacking when necessary), it's also got only 1 weakness (Grass, though it's 4x). It also evolves from the epicness that is Mudkip.

Only thing thats more awesome than A Mudkip is A SHINY one! (I have one)

I generally prefer Swampert, because of it's typing and awesome looks.

Blastoise would probably win in a battle, though Hydro Cannon/Hydro Pump are rare in competitive Blastoise. Therefore Surf or HP Grass would be Blastoise's primary attacking forces, which, when combined with it's superior speed, would probably 2HKO or OHKO Swampert if Blastoise is holding Choice Specs.

Choice Specs Blastoise (315-181-236-295-246-240) vs. Mixpert (Lead) Swampert (404-257-306-206-216-140)
Blastoise: HP Grass = 412-488 Damage (102% - 120.8%)

Choice Specs Blastoise (315-181-236-295-246-240) vs. Choice Band Swampert (375-337-233-185-216-181)
Blastoise: HP Grass = 412 - 488 Damage (109.9% - 130.1%)

Utility Blastoise (362-181-328-207-246-192) vs. Mixpert (Lead) Swampert (404-257-306-206-216-140)
Blastoise: Surf = 98-116 Damage (24.3%-28.7%)
Swampert: Earthquake = 84-100 Damage (23.2%-27.6%)
Bottom Line: Assuming that they hit with maximum damage each time (which is EXTREMELY unlikely) Blastoise would win after 5 turns, even with Leftovers factored in.

Utility Blastoise (362-181-328-207-246-192) vs. Choice Band Swampert (375-337-233-185-216-181)
Blastoise: Surf = 98-116 Damage (26.1%-30.9%)
Swampert: Earthquake = 166 - 196 Damage (45.9%-54.1%)
Swampert would probably win this one, scoring a 3HKO with Blastoise's Leftovers.

Overall, I prefer Swampert though. Due to a wider movepool and general bulk.

I vote Blastoise.

Turtle + cannons = Awesome.

Swampert, even though Blastoise seems like a better defender.

Also because it's Ground type, and so it's both 2x and 0x against Electric.

I like both, but Swampert's type is better.

Swampert is a overall the correct poke'mon for the job.

And not that I care what the poke'dex tells but.....

Swampert
Ruby
Swampert is very strong. It has enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. This Pokémon also has powerful vision that lets it see even in murky water.

HG/SS
Its arms are hard as rock. With one swing, it can break a boulder into pieces.

Blastoise
R/S
Blastoise has water spouts that protrude from its shell. The water spouts are very accurate. They can shoot bullets of water with enough accuracy to strike empty cans from a distance of over 160 feet.

HeartGold
It deliberately makes itself heavy so it can withstand the recoil of the water jets it fires. Overall winner is Swampert

Fuck nostalgia, man. Swampert, no question. Superior in every way.
