Rampardos Trick Room Tech & Caly Suggestions
Join CommunitySummary
This Pokémon Champions forum discussion centers on building a competitive team, specifically exploring the viability of using Rampardos with the Room Service item under Trick Room conditions. Key points include suggestions for improving Calyrex-Ice's survivability with Protect, debates over move choices like Trick Room on multiple team members, and the introduction of alternative team compositions featuring Tornadus, Whimsicott, Kyogre, Flutter Mane, and Calyrex-Shadow. The conversation highligh...
Wait rapados can work really well with room service, too bad it cant take advantage of sheer force life orb.
rampados might work?

It outspeeds calyrex ice outside of trick room and room service allows it to outspeed inside trick room too, i may be onto something like with psyduck
I’d suggest utilizing protect more, and giving Indee Tera Grass to redirect spores for ur hitters. I also suggest giving Caly-I protect.
I have a bad habit never managing to fit protect lol. I ran protect for a while but never really worked out on Caly I.
All of Caly I's moves stop something impotant that threaten it otherwise
i mean that’s completely fine
the only problem is, you have trick room on 3 mons, and no redirection for Caly to set it up himself
Other than indee who also has TRA
i do like ur Ram
I have indeene with follow me tho, plus a hatterene and indeene lead blocking fake out and taunt.
I never like running pure meta, always try to fit in weird pokemon and it works a lot
Even when i do run meta pokemon, I like running weird sets like:

Naive Nature

Yeah, but why waste an entire move slot on arguably your hardest hitter when you already have enough mons to setup TR. Yk?
I'll try switching TR for dazzling gleam for a few matches and see how it feels
Unless you suggest another move?
dazzling is a special atk….
I do…
protect
And let me tell you why
Oooh your talking about caly
If you Follow Me with indee any attacks will 100% hit indee
i was talking about hatterente lol
if you protect with Caly and TR with your chance at not taking damage with indee increases
I get what your going at, but on caly it just doesnt feel right? idk how to explain it
Or, you can trade out TR on indee for protect and TR with caly
You’d definitely survive longer
Ill try it a bit, see how it feels
i'll run 5 matches and decide

this is the team i ran for Reg I in the ladder this past week
i got up to 1400 Elo with maybe 4 loses
Arec you in a certain reg?
I decided i dont want protect, because it feels good, but i dont like being put in front of mirdon when i cant follow me trick room with caly
^
as long as it allows 2 resticteds, i practice on ubers lol
I understand what you’re talking about.
But getting hit twice when you could have a chance at getting hit once is better
Besides, what if the terrian gets changed and Caly gets FO
then just follow me?
unless they plan to switch in something like rillabom and fake out dispite psychic terain being up, its not something that really happens
the problem with Follow Me is that it doesn’t work with Multi Target Attacks, and if they double into Caly you can protect to negate all the dmg
Rampardos is really cool . He seems like a cool iron ball Mon with his awkward speed stat
Huge attack stat
They did him dirty like my boy Tyrantrum . They both need megas
