Ninjask support on him would be...well, it'd kinda be game ending as a thing with 165 base attack with jask support....ouch

WTF? there are new D/P names ya know,

Rampy with Rock Polish is pointless without Focus Sash. Focus Punch is pointless since the chances are that the opponent will only attack on Rampy.

Crunch instead of Focus Punch imo.

Yeah, I'm finding out Crunch is generally more useful for the likes of Cresselia. It was copied and pasted from an old notepad file of D/P movesets I have, which is why the old names are there.

This moveset fails since it isn't going to last after a Rock Cart. And Leichi Berry? It's health is gonna be 0 and Leichi Berry never had a use. Most likely the opponent is gonna be attacking at Rampardos, so Focus Punch fails.

Rock Polish is the only reason to use Rampardos. Either that or run it with Choice Scarf.

It's too slow to attack, and it sucks at taking damage.

Rock Polish only works with a Focus Sash. Choice Scarf is still too slow.

Only problem is, Rampardos can get owned pretty bad in one hit. The only real use I see in him at the moment is BPing Ninjask's speed (and possibly attack, if you gave it a berry) to him, WHILE the substitute on 'jask is still in play. (So paralyzing them before throwing Ninjask out may be a good idea.) Having a Rampardos with godly speed and attack, and a substitute on him for the switch-in is nothing to sneeze at, and will definately sweep a couple teams. :P

So with Ninjask, he may definatly be usable. Not invincible, as he will still be pretty slow, but enough to wipe out some major threats.

rampardos is fun ingame because the opponents seem to follow a script, using a sequence of moves no matter what the situation is. so its monster attack is all it needs. alone, its not very strong against other battlers.

if you like it, then yes, it's worth using. it has a decent movepool and nice ability to boot.

i'd use it myself if it weren't such a monstrosity. the designer overdid it with all the horns =/

Rampardos can survive a lot more than you give it credit for. Just enough to put it in Liechi range, which it really needs because without the Attk boost it isn't going to be OHKOing much and you'll die the next turn anyways. Yes, I know Focus Punch is pretty bad. I'm going to change it.

You're everywhere, shedinjask! Well, Rampardos is so scary, no self respecting person will allow it to survive. That one hit MUST kill it, or else...

WaterFall = Dead, Close Combat = Dead, Power Whip/Leafstorm= Dead three times over. Rampardos is not the fastest thing in the game either.

Oh, but so many things don't OHKO it. Especially in Sandstorm. Just get it in on something. There's more than you think.

Let's see what kills it physically, Swampert = Dead , Infernape = Way dead, Leafeon= Super Dead.

I'm so close minded.
