Pros:
- It has 165 Attack.
- If you pull up with it on high ladder and win, everyone will think you’re cool.
- That’s kinda it.
- Okay maybe you can use it in Trick Room or something.
Cons:
- Everything.
- You’re literally using Rampardos.
- Became the subject of a False Swipe Gaming video that ruined competitive discussion on social media for a while, because people missed the whole point of the theorem.
- Rampardos can’t even wallbreak well. It has to rely on Stone Edge as its only STAB, which sucks because Rock has pretty bad coverage, and the fact that you’re using an 80% accurate move, and the fact that it isn’t as strong as something like Close Combat so Rampardos isn’t as strong as you’d think.
- If you pull up with it on high ladder and lose, everyone will laugh at you :(
