Alright so right now i'm looking for a defensive wall but cant decide between swampert or bronzong. well actually i already have bronzong and it's a pretty decent tank but i'm wondering if swampert's better.
Bronzong~occa berry
nature: impish
Trick room
earthquake
explosion
gyro ball
Ev's 252hp 152attk 100spD (special defence)

so i plan to get a swampert like this:
Swampert~leftovers
nature: careful
curse
earthquake
avalanche
protect

if somebody has a better version of a swampert please tell me and also tell which is better (in your opinion)

... no recovery? one of the things that makes a wall a wall... is recovery... sweampert is a great wall with left overs and recover... with out a grass attack (or toxic), swampert can be near impossible to kill xd

Don't listen to that last part, slaking can 1 hit KO ANY pokemon in the game if you hit with a super effective attack.

and yet.... slaking DOES'NT get a super effective attack on swampert (as it is only weak to grass)... so shut up Mos :XP:

besides, it wouldn't be super effective and STAB... and with swamperts amazing HP stat and great def stat, with say impish nature and lots o' EV's he could stall your slaking with ease.

Mos, stop trolling. >.>

If your gonna train a Bronzong, I'd go for Levitate because you can cover Fire-types with EQ, and most Fire-type moves are Special (since you're raising it in Sp. Defense). And if this Bronzong is going to be shifted to a Black/White game, you may want to switch out Explosion for a Heavy Bomber, a move that does more damage the heavier the Pokemon is. This is good for covering Steel-types that are generally impervious to Explosion and are known for Sturdy, which is Focus Sash in the form of an ability. Trick Gyro is a good addition.

On the account of Swampert, if it's going to be a tank, Endeavor might be smart to use after a Curse because of the lowered Speed + the turn from before. What you switch out for Endeavor is up to you.

If this doesn't help, you could always look them up on Smogon, it has a could competitive battling Pokemon database.
