Trivia

Swampert has the highest base stat total of all the starter evolutions.
Swampert is one of only two starters in the OU metagame tier. It shares this title with Infernape. The rest reached either BL (Venusaur, Charizard, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Sceptile, Blaziken, Torterra, Empoleon) or UU (Blastoise, Meganium).

Origin

Like Mudkip and Marshtomp, Swampert is based on the mudpuppy.

Name origin

Swampert's name is probably derived from swamp and rampart, expert or inert. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of lagoon and large, referring to its size.
