- Premise: Most Swamperts really want to be in Torrent for the Magma and Aqua hideouts. This is so important that we try to stall for Torrent against Winona, which is very inconsistent. This strategy aims to add consistency to Torrent manipulation.
- Requirements (Lv. 36):
- - 1 X Special, or 29+ IV Sp. Atk and Mystic Water
- - 1 X Speed, or 28+ IV Speed
- - 3 X Attacks
- - Good HP/Sp. Def combo
- Requirements (Lv. 38):
- - Mystic Water
- - 1 X Speed, or 20+ IV Speed
- - 4 X Attacks (3 if YOLO strats)
- - Not terrible HP/Sp. Def combo
- There are several ways to handle Swablu, Tropius and Pelipper. The goal is to be at +3 Attack, faster than Altaria and in Torrent before killing Pelipper. Here is an outline of the standard fight at Lv. 36:
- SWAMPERT ENEMY
- Turn 1 Rock Tomb --
- Turn 2 X Attack Charges Solarbeam
- Turn 3 Heal to full Solarbeam (always hits into Torrent)
- Turn 4 Strength Charges Solarbeam
- Turn 5 Strength Strength
- Turn 6 X Attack Protect (Pelipper is guaranteed to use it unless Water Gun can kill)
- Turn 7 X Attack Protect (^)
- Turn 8 X Special Protect (^)
- Turn 9 X Speed Protect (^)
- Turn 10 Mud Shot Protect (^)
- Turn 11 Strength Protect fail/Water Gun/Supersonic
- Turn 12 Surf --
- Turn 13 Rock Tomb --
- The above outcome isn't guaranteed, as the fight can go wrong in several ways:
- - Rock Tomb missing Swablu + Perish Song (4%)
- - Solarbeam criticaling (6.25%)
- - Solarbeam high rolling, forcing a YOLO or additional healing (% varies)
- - Pelipper wasting turns with Protect (~25%)
- - Rock Tomb missing Altaria (20%)
- The standard Winona fight with current strats also takes about 13 turns on average, but it manipulates Torrent with much less consistency. The best-case scenario (Altaria hitting Swampert into Torrent on its second turn) is extremely rare. A more likely outcome is to stall for 1-2 turns with Mud Shot, then correctly guess that it will use EQ/Aerial Ace on its final turn. Even more likely, however, is that the fight will go wrong in one of many ways:
- - Swablu using Perish Song, forcing a switch
- - Pelipper wasting turns and PP with Protect
- - Pelipper hitting Supersonic, wasting a confusion healing item
- - Swablu/Pelipper hitting you into Torrent for Skarmory, forcing a Rock Tomb/heal/X Special so you don't knock it into heal range
- - Swablu/Pelipper/Skarmory hitting you deep into Torrent for Altaria, forcing a heal
- - Skarmory using Sand-Attack, potentially wasting turns/PP or forcing a heal/ending the run
- - Rock Tomb missing Altaria
- - Rock Tomb criticaling Altaria, so you don't get Torrent
- - Altaria using Dragon Dance when you predicted EQ/Aerial Ace, so you don't get Torrent
- Money for X items shouldn't be a problem, as there is an HP Up outside of Rusturf Tunnel that takes 8 seconds to get and sells for $4900.
