Base Stats

Rampardos owns one of the highest Attack stats in the game at 165, but everything else is a liability: 60 Defense, 50 Special Defense and just 58 Speed mean it is fast enough to be outsped by most of the format yet too frail to take a hit. That combination screams Trick Room, where its slow Speed becomes an advantage and a single turn can produce a knockout.

Type Matchups

Abilities

• Sheer Force — removes the secondary effects of moves with added effects in exchange for a 30% power boost. The standard pick: it turns Rock Slide, Earthquake, Fire Punch and Zen Headbutt into even harder hits.
• Mold Breaker — ignores defensive abilities such as Sturdy, Levitate and Intimidate-adjacent immunities, letting Earthquake hit Levitators and Stone Edge break Sturdy bodies.

Best Moveset

Rampardos wants to come down before it can be answered and then click the hardest button available. For Regulation M-A doubles:

Trick Room wallbreaker (Sheer Force)

• Rock Slide — spread Rock STAB that pressures both opponents and benefits from Sheer Force.
• Earthquake — spread Ground coverage; pairs with Trick Room partners that resist it or fly.
• Fire Punch or Zen Headbutt — coverage into Steel and Grass / Poison and Fighting respectively, both Sheer Force-boosted.
• Protect — buys a turn so a partner can set Trick Room safely.

Mold Breaker single-target

• Stone Edge — single-target Rock STAB that punches through Sturdy.
• Earthquake + Superpower or Close Combat-style coverage via Superpower.
• Swords Dance — if it survives a turn, +2 Attack makes nearly everything a clean OHKO.

Its absurd coverage also includes Stealth Rock, Crunch, Iron Head, Thunder Punch, Outrage, Ice Beam/Fire Blast for a special surprise, and Tera Blast.

Suggested SP Spread

With the Champions SP system (66 points, max 32 per stat), Rampardos pours everything into Attack and HP — its Speed is best left low for Trick Room, so a Speed-lowering Stat Alignment can actually help. Extra HP is more useful than raising its already-poor defenses. Check the Level 50 numbers in the team builder.

Competitive Role in Regulation M-A

Rampardos is a pure wallbreaker with no pretensions of bulk or staying power. In standard play its 58 Speed is a death sentence, so its home is a dedicated Trick Room team: under the room it moves first and a Sheer Force Rock Slide or Earthquake threatens to knock out almost anything that is not a hard resist. Mold Breaker offers a second mode that ignores Sturdy and Levitate, valuable in a format where those abilities deny so many KOs. Bring redirection and Fake Out support to guarantee it survives long enough to fire, and it will tear holes that the rest of the team cleans up.
