An overall crazy rampardos

Rampardos - Adamant
Custap Berry
252 HP, 252 SpD/Def, 6 Atk
Curse
Pain Split
Rock Slide
Earthquake

This came to me after seeing another certain battlers Toxic using Medicham. Both pokes have terrible defenses but decent movepools. So pretty much, start cursing up (Sandstorm would be nice), and if they knock your HP down into Custap range, use pain split to gain a good bit back. This will more than likely be sandstorm only, so im a bit confused on where to but the defensive EV's. any help wanted




I made this set a few weeks ago and didnt get comments on it, so since ive been away for awhile i thought id show you all this. dont try to dissect it down to counters, just the idea that every egg move has its place

lol was it xenon?

You should give him 252 HP, 176 Sp. Def, 80 Def with a careful nature and pair it with sandstorm. This will allow his defnsive stats to be relatively = after sandstorm and a curse. The moves look fine to me, and whatdoes cutsap berry do?

IIRC, it reduces the damage output from SE Fighting attakcs

yup xenon ill try those EV's, but im still thinking that the curses should give him enough that 252 SpD EV's can be invested. and custap berry gives pretty much a one time quick claw effect when HP is low, but is not banned.

L that is the chople berry you are thinking of

Oh, right. Well, if thats the case, I have a bad new for you: priority moves always outspeed Custap Berry, not that it matters much with a curser, but always take it in mind against common users of them, such as Hitmontop or Feraligatr

yeah i learned that recently, but other than mach punch and bullet punch it shouldnt be too bad

edit: o yeah, and aqua jet like you suggested

Lol chalk one up for Shnoogle

Yeah, if you aren't sure you can just experiment with dif. EV spreads tll you find a good one. I'm pretty sure you have 'sav so it shouldn't be that much of a hassle

haha i see someone else watches xenon once in awhile too. but yeah EV's are something i sometimes struggle with, so your right experimentation will be needed

Not bad of a set. Though Scizor wrecks through it.

A little shameful that SCIZOR is the first pokemon you refer to. -_-

Well, after all, Scizor WILL be the main hidrance to this set, I know you dread OU, but facing the facts, if this is meant for OU, Scizor WILL wreck the fun

then you need to pair this with a hippopotas lead... it's the only UU pokemon who can set up sandstorm.
