Mega Swampert is a great Pokémon on both the Water and Ground type fronts, but it's not in the same tier of power and dominance as Mega Sceptile and Mega Blaziken.

While the other two manage to hold top DPS spots despite competition from numerous Legendaries, Shadow Pokémon, and other Megas, Mega Swampert has to compete with the two mighty Primal formes in both its types, though it is very good in the Water typing.

Primal Kyogre completely dominates Mega Swampert in raids but not by a huge margin. Thanks to the powerful Hydro Cannon in its movepool and high attacking power, Mega Swampert is genuinely fantastic here. While the attacking power is not as high as the other two Hoenn Starter Megas, it does its job well. Due to its Ground subtyping, Mega Swampert is amazing against Rock raid bosses.

From the Ground category, it falls short of the omnipotent Primal Groudon, as well as Mega Garchomp, Landorus Therian, and numerous Shadow Pokémon. Obviously it's good but the others have more efficient moves, making them more convenient in usage too.

📈 Should you max out Mega Swampert?

Not really.

Mega Swampert is great, no doubt, but the Primals are destined to remain the ultimate brutes in the Water and Ground types. You can power it up to a certain level and use a good amount of success as a Water Pokémon but it's just not that strong as a Ground Pokémon.
