Swampert (Japanese: ラグラージ Laglarge) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Marshtomp starting at level 36. It is the final form of Mudkip. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Swampert using the Swampertite.
Biology
Swampert is a large amphibian-like creature with a primarily cobalt-blue body and four limbs, including two long forelimbs and short, thickset back legs. Swampert is nominally bipedal, able to stand on its three-toed feet, but on land, it generally assumes a posture crouched over on all fours. It has orange conical gills that protrude from round patches on either side of its face. Two large fan-like black fins extend from the top of its orange eyes to the back of its head. Similarly, a black fan-like tail fin extends upward from its tail-end. Swampert has a white underside as well as orange ridged padding on its forearms and thighs.
Swampert boasts the physical strength to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton, batter down opponents, and swim faster than a jet ski. It has keen eyesight, enabling it to see in murky waters. Swampert also has the ability to predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. When a storm is approaching, Swampert will pile up boulders to protect its nest. It makes its nests on beautiful beaches.
As Mega Swampert, this Pokémon gains considerable bulk. Its upper body and arms become more muscular, bulging compared to its squat lower body. The orange padding on Swampert's thighs vanish, but it gains two additional patches of orange padding on each wrist and another patch on each shoulder. This padding and its gills become a darker, redder shade of orange, while the gills are now larger and bulbous, with filaments extending past its mouth. The black fins on its head are thicker and now extend down past its shoulders. The black tail fin is still shaped like an upward-turned fan, but it now forms a short ridge that extends up to this Pokémon’s forehead, flanked on either side by the aforementioned head-fins. The digits on Mega Swampert's "hands" take on a black color and now feature better defined articulations. According to the anime, Mega Swampert fills the organs on its back with air before diving underwater or battling; it uses that pressure to increase the power of its punches.

Ruby's Marshtomp evolved into Swampert in Master Class with Masquerain from his concussive battles throughout the Ruby & Sapphire arc. With his increased strength and knowledge of the moves Muddy Water and the previously known Earthquake, he proved to be a formidable battler and driving force of the double team of the boy and Sapphire against Maxie and Archie. He also appeared on Ruby's active team in the Emerald arc, but didn't participate in the battle with Emerald's Sceptile. In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, he has obtained a Swampertite, with it he can Mega Evolve into Mega Swampert.

Trivia
- Mega Swampert has the highest base stat total of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
- Mega Swampert is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 635.
- Swampert and its pre-evolution Marshtomp are the only starter Pokémon to have a 4× weakness against another starter type.
Origin
Like Mudkip and Marshtomp, Swampert is based on the mudpuppy, axolotl, mudskipper or possibly the gilled African lungfish.
Name origin
Swampert may be a combination of swamp and rampart or expert, or a corruption of the word earth.
Laglarge may be a combination of lagoon and large (referring to its size). It may also involve lag, as in "to lag behind," due to its size and weight.
