Rampardos vs. Bastiodon
 
Which one of the two fossilised pokemon do you prefer?

My favourite one is definately Rampardos. Fair enough, Bastiodon does have amazing defense but that doesn't make up for It's less than Mediocre attack.

On the other hand, Rampardos quickly K.O's the enemy pokemon instead of just stalling it and eventually grinding down its HP.

Personally, I prefer Bastiodon. I've used Rampardos before when borrowing my Cousins Pokemon Diamond (I've got Pearl) and it does deserve credit. It knew;

ThunderPunch,
FirePunch,
ZenHeadbutt and
BulkUp,

which gave it a massively diverse moveset. Although I feel like it's missing something...
Which is solved by Bastiodon.

Bastiodon has an amazing type advantage, having only three weakness, an immunity and an endless list of advantages. Combined with its naturaly huge defense make in an awesome Tank.

Mine knows.

Protect,
Toxic,
Roar,
IronHead.

Which is a fantastic moveset... Woot...

Design-wise I'd say Rampardos. Any other way I'd still say Rampardos.
The first one I got was Bastiodon, I used it for a while but I didn't like it very much and traded it for a Rampardos. It was so deadly I couldn't believe the power it had, I just went round pwning everything with it :)

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty July 4th, 2010 12:16 PM

Bastiodon is cuter. :> This is pretty much all there is to my judgement.

XxRogueTrainerxX July 4th, 2010 12:53 PM

I prefer Rampardos, both in appearance and power.

PiPVoda July 4th, 2010 1:20 PM

Rampardos in apperance, and neither as a part of my team.

NickofTime July 4th, 2010 8:41 PM

BASTIODON
he's a beast, can't deny it.

ThatOneGuy_21 July 4th, 2010 8:49 PM

Rampardos is purely awesome.

...nuff said.

celebi72 July 4th, 2010 9:47 PM

Rampardos, all the way. i mean he is a t-rez. a destroyer, a legend, a true pokemon ;)

kolupee July 5th, 2010 1:59 AM

rampardos has good stats but he has never worked for me

empty streets July 5th, 2010 2:27 AM

Rampardos. I wanted to make it my team member once, but that never happened for some reason xD Probably because of it's speed..

rndm. July 5th, 2010 2:34 AM

Tough choice. Both are good in their own way. Bastiodon owns with Metal Burst and Rampardos just owns if it gets some speed.
So, no vote here :)

I always liked Bastiodon; but I had a hell of a time defeating it in one of the gyms, so I'd go with Rampardos; it's movepool and capability of learning very good TMs.

Charizard★ July 5th, 2010 5:42 AM

Rampardos for me. I love its attack and moveset. :3

Angelroid July 5th, 2010 6:05 AM

I'll have to say Rampardos.

Zaroas July 5th, 2010 6:06 AM

Rampardos for me. He was part of my team for a while on Wi-Fi, and actually did pretty well with it's massive attack stat and it's movepool in which it could learn a lot of good moves. It's defenses aren't so great, though. That's where Bastiodon comes in. Although it's defenses are a bit better, I still liked Rampardos more because it's not too bad especially with a Swords Dance set on it.

GoldvsRed July 7th, 2010 3:32 PM

I've owned neither a Rampardos or a Bastiodon, but judging by looks and ability alone, I'd choose Bastiodon. It's simply more interesting to me...

I disagree.
The type is very poor for the meta game.
x4 weakness to fighting and ground. Pretty much everyone runs a earthquake at least and most run a STAB earthquake which, in most cases, will OHKO it.

Elyssa July 9th, 2010 7:13 AM

Although neither of them are on my team, I still prefer Rampardos for some reason. I think it may be the design. (:

DarkVhozon July 9th, 2010 11:46 AM

I like my Ramprados but if it doesnt OHKO an opponent u can pretty much prepare to switcch to another Pokemon. Bastidon is a knockoff of the other Rock/Steel pokemon with a bit better Sp.Def. I would use it as a wall while i heal my team.

Been a while since I posted here sup pokecommunity

Agent Clank July 9th, 2010 12:07 PM

I would say Ramprados.
cause he is cooler and stronger.

lionrt60 July 9th, 2010 12:31 PM

I use & love both xD defensive metal burst bastiodon=win and trick room ramparados=win

Resultz July 12th, 2010 2:16 AM

I dont see how people can like Rampardos PURELY because of power.. It's like discrimination.

Bastiodon may have poor typing, but it can atleast stay in the battle for more than 1 turn.
Atleast it can turn its poor attack into something decent, such as metal burst...
I dont see rampardos using moves like Iron defense or light screen to its advantage..

Yeah I know what you mean. I like neither, but for arguement's sake I'll side with you. Rampardos has a lot more weaknesses and its ability is really only used against Shedinja. Heck, it's only effective against Shedinja. Bastidon's abil is better than Rampardos in more situations.

However, I like Rampardos more because it looks better. (Had I another choice I'd choose Skarmory or Glaceon)

potatoman12 July 12th, 2010 6:00 AM

Rampardos is amazing. Sky high attack stat + STAB Head Smash = instant pwnage.
