Trivia
- Swampert has the highest base stat total of all the starter evolutions.
- It also has the highest base HP of all final evolution starter Pokémon.
- Swampert is tied with Empoleon for the second lowest base Speed of all final evolution starter Pokémon at 60, second only to Torterra, which is four points lower at 56.
- However, all three have high Defense and Special Defense when compared to other final stages of starter Pokémon of their respective regions.
- Swampert, and its pre-evolution Marshtomp, is the only starter-type to have a 4× weakness against another starter type (with Water and Template:Type2 being weak to Template:Type2).
- Swampert is the only fully evolved Template:Type2 starter Pokémon that does not learn Hydro Pump by level up, although it can learn it as Mudkip before evolving.
- Swampert, and its pre-evolution Marshtomp, are the only Water/Ground-type Pokémon that do not have HP as their highest stat.
Origin
Like Mudkip and Marshtomp, Swampert is based on the mudpuppy or mudskipper.
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.
