4th Gen Rampardos vs. Bastiodon

[Ruin Maniac]

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 :)

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

 

[XxRogueTrainerxX]

I prefer Rampardos, both in appearance and power.

 

[PiPVoda]

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

 

[NickofTime]

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

 

[ThatOneGuy_21]

Rampardos is purely awesome.

...nuff said.

 

[celebi72]

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

 

[kolupee]

rampardos has good stats but he has never worked for me

 

[empty streets]

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.]

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 :)

 

[Le Creep!]

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★]

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

 

[Angelroid]

I'll have to say Rampardos.

 

[Zaroas]

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]

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...

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.

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]

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

 

[DarkVhozon]

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.
