Mega Swampert Team Help and Suggestions

fleetpanther-97 OP

Hi all, I originally built this team with the intention of having arch and scarf staraptor in the lead to either u turn into peli to switch in rain after mega or to nuke my opponent’s mega lead with final gambit. Then I’ve got mega swamp in the back to clean.

I kinda just threw sinistcha and drampa to have an alternate trick room mode if I ever run into a matchup I really don’t like with swampert but I feel like my current set doesn’t synergize well with my other mons. Would love suggestions

I kind of agree I just put drampa on for a backup trick room mode but I have yet to use it

Staraptor has been nice because unless my opponent leads with priority tailwind, I can swap pelipper in off scarf u turn to reset weather after zard y mega evolution
