PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Water Gun is the best fast move available, but Bubble Beam is a very poor charge move. 
• Air Slash pairs well with Hurricane to fulfill a Flying-type role. 
• Ice Beam is underwhelming without STAB. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Air Slash performs better on defense due to its higher base power. 
• Water Gun has the perk of not being resisted by Electric-type attackers, but its damage output is still pitiful. 
• Hurricane has the earliest damage window, but may be difficult to access as a 1-bar move. 
• Bubble Beam is the easiest to dodge, but can be spammed frequently as a 3-bar move. 
• Ice Beam lies in the middle as a 2-bar move, though it lacks STAB.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Air Slash or Water Gun + Bubble Beam and Hurricane or Ice Beam

Air Slash and Water Gun both have identical STAB damage output and energy generation. Pick whichever one you need the appropriate typing coverage for. 

Bubble Beam costs the least amount of energy, and can be used to primarily bait shields, as well as debuffing the opponent. Hurricane costs the most energy, but is also the most powerful charge move available, and hits hard with STAB. Ice Beam offers Ice-type coverage, costs less energy than Hurricane, but can be underwhelming without STAB. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 2 / 5

Swanna resembles Mantine in a lot of ways, with the same Flying/Water defensive typing, and very similar coverage in their movesets. However Swanna falls behind considerably due to its higher ATK stat and consequently less bulk, in addition to worse energy generation and a slower charging Hurricane. Swanna has potential if given a moveset rebalance (fingers crossed), but for now it mostly lives in Mantine's shadow. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

With a max CP of 2088, Swanna performs poorly outside of Great League.

Master League: 0 / 5 

Swanna has hopes and dreams to fly high and soar among its competition, just not in Master League.
