Rampardos Deck - Pros / Cons

No risk of Energy shortage
Consistent Deck
Draw Engine depends on the opponent

No Risk of Energy shortage

Lickilicky ex's attack allows for unlimited damage growth based on coin flips. There's a 50% chance to deal over 140 damage, and if two or more heads appear, it can One-Hit KO almost any Pokemon.

Consistent Deck

With fewer Pokemon in the deck, there's a high chance to achieve Dialga ex's Energy Acceleration. This allows for a smooth transition from Dialga ex to Lickilicky ex for continuous attacks.

Draw Engine Depends on the Opponent

As you use Chatot to cycle through the deck while consuming cards from your hand, if your opponent has fewer cards in hand, the chances of evolving into Rampardos decrease.

In certain situations, you might want to consider using Red Card to increase the opponent's hand size, which helps with drawing more cards.

Rampardos Deck Strategy

Buy time until Rampardos is ready
Protect Cranidos
Aim for Rampardos + Lucario combo

Buy Time Until Rampardos is Ready

Since Rampardos can only be brought out by the third turn at the earliest, use other Pokemon to buy time until then. With only Single-Prize Pokemon in play, the risk of Knocked Out is very low.

Protect Cranidos

Cranidos is an excellent Pokemon that can deal 50 damage with just 1 Energy, but if it is knocked out, it will prevent Rampardos from being brought out. Unless you are in a winning situation, it’s best to keep Cranidos safe for now.

Aim for Rampardos + Lucario Combo

Once you successfully evolved into Rampardos, position it on the Active Spot and start attacking. If Lucario is also set up, you can take down high-HP opponents with a One-Hit KO, allowing you to efficiently score points.
