🔵 Great League

Swalot is a top performer in the Great League. As stated before, Swalot is a defense-oriented Pokémon, which greatly helps it in PvP. Not only that, Swalot has access to both Mud Shot and Infestation as fast attacks, both of which generate energy quickly. Pair that up with decently spammy moves like Sludge and Ice Beam, and you have a Pokémon that can fire off quite a few charged attacks before it’s done. The only Pokémon Swalot really contests with are other Poison types in a Poison-dominated meta.

🟡 Ultra League

Swalot has a max CP of 2236, which is below the Ultra League CP cap of 2500. While some Pokémon can perform well in this league despite having a lower-than-average CP, those typically have one outstanding stat. Swalot unfortunately does not possess such a stat.

🟣 Master League

With a max CP of 2236, Swalot is far too weak for the Master League.
