>>23353783This team is all about shielding powerful (Explosion and Selfdestruct, to be exact) or OHKO moves. Swampert has Damp, which will neutralize the effects of said powerful moves, along with the Aftermath ability. For the one-hit knockout moves, Skarmory has Sturdy. Swampert, on the other hand, can use Substitute, and when it is hit by a OHKO attack, all damage will be negated, and it can use Counter (in case of Guillotine, Fissure or Horn Drill) or Mirror Coat (in case of Sheer Cold) to knock the opponent who used the move out right away. On to the technical stuff, Skarmory can use Sandstorm to continuously damage your opponents while not damaging either of them, and Swampert can use Earthquake without damaging Skarmory. Also, although Swampert's Rindo Berry will shield it from some of the super-effective damage from Grass-type attacks, it may not always be enough, so Skarmory can protect it with X-Scissor, which is super-effective on Grass-types.
