In the anime

Tommy's Swampert

Swampert first appeared in Abandon Ship. It evolved from a Marshtomp that was living in an abandoned ship ever since it was separated from its trainer.

Morrison introduced his Swampert to Ash and friends in Saved by the Beldum.

Tucker used his Swampert and Arcanine to battle against Ash's Corphish and Swellow in a double battle in Tactics Theatrics!.

A Swampert was shown under the ownership of Brendan in his cameo appearance in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. This is to keep in theme with the games of the rival's starter Pokémon having a type-advantage over the player's starter Pokémon (in this case, May's Blaziken).

A Swampert appeared in a flashback in Mutiny in the Bounty! as one of J's captured Pokémon.
