I was thinking about Swalot when I caught a Gulpin a few days ago...

Swalot @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Sticky Hold
Nature Att+, SpAtt-
~Sludge Bomb
~Amnesia/Body Slam
~Acid Armor/Body Slam
~Rest

**Amnesia and Acid Armor to put up a great defense/special defense. Chesto Rest if needed, then Sludge Bomb away
**If you think that it could use another attack, then you could put Body Slam over Amnesia or Acid Armor.

If Swalot didn't have that mustache thing, then it would look like a rich Grimer

btw: I just caught a bagon with a net ball... weird, I couldn't catch it with 2 pokeballs, 8 ultra balls, and a timer ball.

Why would you want the moveset
Yawn
Toxic
Acid Armor
Sludge Bomb

Yawn and Toxic just cancel each other out. No point to that.
I like the set g-rock has.

[soggy_cardboard]

yawn is like roar, forcing the opponent to switch, helpful vs steel.
then ya can toxic the incoming poke

so its alright to have both, IMO

Swalot is a Muk wannabe.

The only thing it has over Muk is yawn + encore. However, it is too slow to use encore effectively, but yawn is useful for forcing switches.

I'd go for something like...

Swalot adamant
@leftovers
yawn
sludge bomb
snatch
protect

[Slaking master]

I like

Swalot@leftovers

yawn
dreameater
sludge bomb
bodyslam/return/acid armor/giga drain

Yawn works way better than hypnosis with dreameater

[ralts_mudkip]

I think that there has alredy been a Swalot discustion. -_o I can't think of a Swalot move set right now.
