Strategy Overview

With a gargantuan Attack stat and relatively decent Speed with a Choice Scarf, Rampardos stakes its claim in NU as one of the strongest revenge killers in the tier. To complement its impressive Attack, Rampardos also has a fantastic movepool and possesses the ability Sheer Force to boost most of its moves' power. Aside from its Attack, however, Rampardos's base stats are terrible and hinder its effectiveness. Its only relevant set is Choice Scarf, meaning that it will be locked into one move, and with its low base Speed it can also end up being outpaced by the likes of Floatzel and other relevant Choice Scarfed Pokemon such as Rotom, Jynx, and Primeape. Rampardos also possesses terrible defensive stats, which further decrease its overall offensive potential. On top of all this, Rampardos is also usually outclassed by other common offensive Rock-types such as Archeops and Barbaracle due to their better base Speed and dual typings.
