Rampardos, also known as the Head Butt Pokémon, is celebrated for its remarkable physical prowess and distinctive dome-shaped cranium. Classified as a Rock-type Pokémon, it evolves from Cranidos upon reaching level 30.
Type: Rock
Abilities:
- Mold Breaker: This distinctive ability enables Rampardos's moves to bypass opponents' abilities that might otherwise nullify or impede the effects of its moves. Remarkably, this implies that it can hit a Pokémon with Levitate using a Ground-type move.
- Sheer Force (Hidden Ability): This ability amplifies the power of Rampardos's moves that possess secondary effects (such as Flinching or Burning) by an impressive 30%, albeit at the cost of eliminating these secondary effects.
Stats and Battle Attributes:
- Boasting incredibly high Attack stats, Rampardos is counted among the most potent physical assaulters in the Pokémon world.
- Conversely, it has relatively frail defenses, necessitating a combative strategy centered on swiftly overpowering opponents, rather than engaging in lengthier, more exhausting battles.
Interesting Facts:
- Due to its incomplete section, Rampardos draws its design from Pachycephalosaurus, a dinosaur known for its thick, dome-shaped skull.
- It is one of the few Pokémon that trainers can ride in certain games, providing a unique and exhilarating experience.
