::Expert makes very little sense to me, which is why I even bothered with this. At least the Wiktionary definition of rampart talks about "a defensive mound of earth," which works because it's Ground-type, usually with "a stone parapet," which is a low wall, which you can get from the ridges on Swampert's head. But ''expert''? Frankly, I'd just replace expert with inert outright.

:::I thought about it a bit more afterwards and I kind of like the idea that "ert" could be a corruption of "earth". It's at least a lot closer (conceptually) than the other options right now.

== Gill-man == | |||
Does Mega Swampert remind anyone else of the Gill-Man [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gill-man]]? It does to me for three reasons. | |||
1. Mega Swampert resembles a humanoid fish just like the Gill-man. | |||
2. The orange pads on Mega Swampert resemble armored scales and the Gill-man often has armored scales on it's body. | |||
3. Both can be considered to be swamp monsters.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 16:57, 24 April 2019 (UTC) | |||
