![]() But my OTHER recommendation is to check and double check those sims I linked above. Regular EQ Swampert uniquely beats Drifblim, Granbull, Machamp, Milotic, and Blastoise, while Shadow EQ Swampy instead overpowers Obstagoon, Escavalier, Feraligatr, and Shadow Champ. They have the same number of core meta wins, but what's IN those wins is a bit different. Shadow Swampert with Earthquake instead performs very close to regular EQ Swampert. However, to get there, Shadow SW Swampert fails against Drifblim, Granbull, and regular Machamp, which non-Shadow SW Swampy wins. Other than Lapras, regular Swampert cannot do any of that. and Obstagoon, and Tangrowth and Abomasnow and Lapras, and fellow Shadow mon Machamp. First off, with Sludge Wave, it can beat Togekiss. Now Shadow Swampert has some interesting quirks. Sludge Wave adds Shadow Abomasnow, but can't get even Togekiss and loses out on things like Empoleon, Lapras, and Blastoise.Īt least, that's all true of regular Swampert. And yes, all of that is with the standard Mud Shot/ Hydro Cannon/ Earthquake set. But Swampert takes out anything Electric, Fire, Ground (aside from Flygon and Torterra), Rock, Steel (besdies Ferrothorn and Escav), Fairy (aside from the aforementioned Flying Togekiss), Poison (as long as it isn't also Grass), and the list goes on and on, including even things like Drifblim, Toxicroak and Machamp, Snorlax, Lapras, Blastoise, Milotic, and much more. Just look at what it can handle: almost its entire loss column is filled with Grasses, with only things that resist its moves (Honchkrow, Dragonite, Togekiss, Poliwrath, Feraligatr) or just put out their own ridiculous amounts of damage (Obstagoon, Shadow Machamp, Heracross) scratching out wins over Swampy. And while there are many more Grasses to worry about in Ultra than there are in Master, it's not a great shock to see that (at the time of this writing) Swampert sits as THE top Pokémon in the UL Premier meta. Just as in Master League Premier Cup, Swampert stands mostly alone as THE Mud Boy to consider outside of Great League. ![]() Mud Shot | Hydro Cannonᴸ & Earthquake/Sludge Wave Here we go, organized by Pokémon with the cheapest cost for adding a second move and moving on through from there. We've got a lot to cover, so let's not waste any more time. We all want to field competitive teams, but where can we get the best bang for our buck and where should we perhaps instead channel our inner scrooge? Because for those on a stardust budget-and/or folks trying to save up some dust for the future-it can be daunting trying to figure out where to spend or not spend it. While not everything must be maxed here, I will still be placing extra emphasis on those mons with cheaper second move unlock costs. ![]() As you all know, normally I write this for Silph Arena Cup formats in Great League, but I branched out a bit by looking at the Master League Premier Cup, spending extra time on those with cheaper costs for adding a second charge move, as that was really the ONLY place where we could hope to get "thrifty". The "Nifty Or Thrifty" article series takes a comprehensive look at the meta for the current Cup format- Ultra League Premier Cup, in this case-particularly focused on Pokémon where you can save yourself some stardust.
