A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.). Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves. | A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team.
