Strategy Overview
Rampardos is one of the strongest wallbreakers in the tier because of its base 165 Attack stat and Sheer Force, though it can also make good use of Mold Breaker to become an effective suicide lead. Rampardos's movepool allows it to hit the majority of the PU tier for super effective damage, meaning almost nothing can switch in safely. However, its terrible defensive typing coupled with its low base Speed and bulk makes it lackluster against offensive teams and easy to revenge kill. Rampardos also faces some competition as a suicide lead from Monferno and Custap Berry Golem, which can perform a very similar role. Rampardos is, however, still a usable lead, because it is able to defeat opposing Golem and Crustle easily, has terrifying power, and can stop entry hazard removal with Head Smash.
