Rampardos's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Rampardos PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Rampardos is a PvE monster, the definition of a strong glass cannon. It boasts the highest Rock-type DPS for a non-Mega/non-Shadow Pokémon, leading many powerful attackers in its typing as well. With Rock being an excellent offensive typing in Pokémon GO, Rampardos is a great addition to your collection.

⚔️ Raids

Rampardos’ DPS is higher than even Mega and Shadow Tyranitar, giving an idea of how powerful it is. Keep in mind that it is fragile, so dodging is absolutely necessary even when Rampardos resists the Raid Boss’ moves.

🛡️ Gyms

Rampardos has poor bulk and is tainted with five weaknesses, making it a poor Gym defender.

Rampardos PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Rampardos is purely a PvE attacker and despite its insane ATK stat, it suffers from extremely low bulk. And to reiterate, Rock is a bad defensive typing. These factors lead to Rampardos getting beaten easily even from Fast Moves. Leave this one only for Raids please!
