Good moves for Swampert

NEVER use neutral natures, theres always one stat you can do without.
This is my moveset, works a charm.

Swampert@Lefties
252Att/152HP/100Def
Adamant
Waterfall
EQ
Avalanche
Protect
Compared to its physical attack, its special isn't worth using. So dont. Swampert's never going to be hitting first so after being hit avalanche is as strong as blizzard anyway. Protect to scout for the all too common grass knot and the other 2 for STABed coverage.

thanx, but I dont have avalanche.. I used it already. Is there anything else that would be a good sub?
 
Penguin, where have you been?

Swampert @ Leftovers
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SAtk
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Roar / Rest

It amazes me that nobody uses hydro pump on tyhis thing anymore when it 2HKOs a whole slew of stuff, most notablyu skarmory. Gengar doesn't like it either.
 
Ice Beam is a TM in ADV, I know that for sure. I think you can is D/P, but I'm iffy on that.
 
I think you get it at the game corner.
 
Ice Beam is obtainable at the Game Corner for 10000 coins (200000$ if you just buy coins. Also there is T-bolt, Flamethrower, and Psychic at the same price. Gyro Ball is 15000, and Giga Impact is 20000, although nobody really uses it.
 
You don't have to go to the Game Corner you can get the TM by using Rock Climb on the Route to Snowpoint.

Ding ding ding! You win the lottery!
