:It's pretty speculative. That said, I'd say "rampart" and "expert" are flimsy too. (And ''that'' said, I'm not saying that means "inert" should necessarily be added.)

::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. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:45, 9 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
