Swampert (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Marshtomp}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Mudkip}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Swampert''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Swampertite}}.

Swampert is a bipedal Pokémon. It has a large cobalt blue body and large three-fingered hands. It has two orange gills that protrude from round patches on its cheeks. Its head has two large semicircular black fins that extend from the top of its orange eyes to the back of its head. Its tail fin is big, broad, and black. It has a white underside and orange ridged portions above its hands and three-toed feet.

Swampert is very strong with enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton, batter down opponents, and swim faster than a jet ski. It has powerful vision, enabling it to see even in murky water. Swampert also has the ability to predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. When a storm is approaching, Swampert will pile up boulders to protect its nest. It makes its nests on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|beautiful beaches}}.

As Mega Swampert, this Pokémon gains considerable bulk. Its upper body and arms are more muscular, while its lower body is smaller in comparison. The raised patches above its feet vanish, but it gains two additional ones on each wrist and one on each shoulder. The bumps and its gills become a darker, redder shade of orange, and the gills are now larger and extend slightly past its mouth. The black fins on its head are shorter, more streamlined, and extend down past its shoulders. The tail fin now forms a short ridge that extends up to this Pokémon’s forehead. Mega Swampert's fingers and toes are more defined, and its fingers turn black. According to the [[XY043|anime]], Mega Swampert fills the organs on its back with air before diving underwater or battling. It uses that pressure to increase the power of its punch.

Swampert debuted in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]''. It evolved from a Marshtomp that was living in an abandoned ship ever since it was separated from its Trainer {{OBP|Tommy|AG032}}. Since then, it believed that Tommy had abandoned it. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived on the abandoned ship and ran into Tommy, they started to get captured by Swampert one by one and trapped in the webbing of its {{p|Spinarak}} partner until only Ash, Brock, Tommy, and Pikachu were left. After getting Swampert to remember him, and informing it that it wasn't abandoned after all, Tommy ended up reuniting with Swampert.

{{adv|Ruby}}'s Marshtomp evolved into Swampert in ''[[PS231|Master Class with Masquerain]]'' from his concussive battles throughout the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}.

He also appeared on Ruby's active team in the {{chap|Emerald}}, but didn't participate in the battle with [[Emerald's Sceptile]]. In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, he has obtained a [[Mega Stones|Swampertite]], with it he can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Swampert.
