What is a "sweep" actually?

Question

I know what's a sweep but really what is it? Lets say Excadrill took out 4 Pokemon out from the oppenent, is that a sweep or those Excadrill have to K.O all 6 Pokemon for it to be a sweep?

Answer 1

A Sweep is a term to describe knocking out an opposing team's Pokemon easily with just one Pokemon. This can vary from 3 Mons to an entire team really. There is no "general term" to describe a Sweep, it's just one of those things that you know happens.

One of my favorite sweeps.

I like the song

Answer 2

It's basically when you defeat all six Pokemon of the opponent's Pokemon without any of yours getting defeated. So, for example, 'a 6-0 sweep'.

Hope I helped. :)
