Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings
Limited field sample — not seen enough in the last 30 days of GBL Note data, so the analysis below is based on simulation and type matchups.
✔ Strengths & how to use
Its Lead · Closer · Switch role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Tinkaton(#2) · Guzzlord(#18) · Empoleon(#19), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it resists Fire · Electric · Poison · Rock · Steel, holding up well against those attackers.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is doubly weak to Grass, so watch out for those attackers.
That said, it's unfavored into threats like Shadow Sableye, so avoid that head-to-head.
GBL Note verdict
It's barely seen in the last 30 days of field data. On paper it's A-tier, with an edge expected in matchups like Tinkaton(#2) · Guzzlord(#18) · Empoleon(#19).
Shadow Swampert — Great League A-tier. Recommended movesets are based on public battle simulation (PvPoke); counters and favorable matchups come from sim results. Pick rates are anonymous aggregates of opponents GBL Note users actually faced. Log my battles →
