Week 3 (Mega Swampert) winner

sup buddies. i like m-pert a lot from an offensive team's standpoint b.c it serves as one of the most consistent pokemon to counterplay pursuit traps in the tier, a process so overwhelmingly common that i hate it has only really had arguably shuca dubdance cobalion to play off effectively. bearing that in mind, i fashioned an ho looking to facilitate pert in the most proficient manner i could, prompting the traditional revenge-killing angle on latias (while of course having it serve as a breaker in the process), and utilizing mid-game offensive outlets like cb ape and sd sciz in order to open up balances and offenses alike for it. crobat is a pokemon i've come to accept that, with the bump in speed in the meta and m-aero not necessarily being the mega for every team every time, is ok sometimes. being able to soft-check certain pokemon while keeping pressure via taunt is valuable, in addition to further baiting aero.
