In-Depth Analysis
Rampardos's 495 base stat total marks it as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Attack (165) carries most matchups, but a low Special Defense stat of 50 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Rock combination gives Rampardos 4 resistances and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Rampardos a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow Then Very Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
