Swampert Weakness
Swampert is weak to Grass. Watch out for Grass attacks, those deal 4x damage. On the flip side, it's immune to Electric-type moves entirely. The Water/Ground typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Swampert's overall bulk (100/90/90) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

How to Get Swampert in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Can't catch Swampert directly. Start with Mudkip in the wild from the locations below, then evolve at level 36. The 3-stage chain from Mudkip to Swampert is where the leveling time goes.
Swampert Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Swampert works as a tank with 535 BST behind it. A-Tier on our list: a strong pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's competitive scene. Stealth Rock with Life Orb is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, yes. Mega Swampert is the evolved form, sitting at 635 BST. Big power spike over base Swampert (535). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
Torrent is the go-to ability for Swampert. It strengthens water moves to inflict 1.5× damage at 1/3 max HP or less. Its hidden ability Damp can work in specific setups.
Swampert is a mixed attacker with base 110 Attack and 85 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. Fits the tank role.
Game Availability
Available since Ruby & Sapphire, Swampert appears in 16 games spanning 8 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 6.
