Rampardos Trick Room Tech & Caly Suggestions

rampados might work?

https://pokepast.es/41a685742300a8b8

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:
Landorus @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Sheer Force
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fissure
- Sludge Wave
- Protect
- Earth Power

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

it halso gets so much coverage, but everything else sucks

Yeah I’ve tried him and genuinely wish he was better . Needs a mega

Hes probably the cover image for raw power isnt everything

hes tied for 9th highest attack

of all time (Including megas and alternate forms like ultra necrozma)

Isn’t that wild ! I think iron ball is his most playable item haha

Tyrantrum doesn’t even have a crazy attack stat

I feel like room service is better because it can outspeed caly ice outside of trick room and in trick room too

2 fire punches on it's attack can go a long way

You could be right !
I’ve seen some strange interactions with room service

Like sometimes it didn’t go off and I don’t know why

It torments me till today

It's really sad it has such akward speed it cant run the item it dreams of

Life orb sheer foce would have been terrifying

He deserves a mega

I remember people trying to use scarf on him too.

But every team has a scarf Mon now

And rampardos won’t be the fastest

I've tried scarf, aand it's speed still kinda sucks

you wont outspeed much

Yep. I can’t even think of a way to proper run him
Was going to say sableye but the support Mon might ohko him if they hit him hard enough

Like you can only stop one mon and ramparodos could die to anything

Even a foul play

Especially a foul play lol

Goodra rampardos and Tyrantrum all need a mega ev

Image available on Discord

Hey, at least goodra got a regional form

That’s true !

It’s a tanky thing

the only one who got nothing was dragapult but erm i dont think it needs buffs

I like dragapult
Need to get one and move it to home

there are some pokemon that I loved until fighting them competitivly that i now hate

Haha hmmmm archuludon I find annoying

Its so hard to beat dragapult on some teams I use so I run foul play electrode

Smart
Pretty cool utility mon with electro web too

Things like fluttermane is why he isn’t used

It is quite annoying when i run teams with like 1 special attacker lol

Some dude won something recently with a team of 6 attackers

I mean other than regieleki hes the fastest thing around

I swear he had to only be fighting blisseys or something

Yep! Can’t remember who it was but someone was saying how regieleki made Jolteon useless haha
Same Happned to electrode but seems he atleast got a huge move pool

Regieleki is very limited to like hyper beam and acient power haha

hey, it still gets used on my eeveelution only team

quick feet is pretty good

and tera blast was it's saving factor

Be nice if all the eevees get mega evs

They’re all visually pleasing mons

They all are, especially leafeon, 1 of the only 2 that didnt make the team
