How to Play Rampardos Deck

Best Starting Hand

Best Starting Hand

Start off with tanking with Regirock while you build up your Cubone and Skull Fossil in your Bench. If you're going first, try to read if your opponent would use decks like Darkrai ex where they can easily pick off you Skull Fossil.

Other Good Starting Cards

Recommended Starting Hand

In situtation where you don't get Regirock or your fossil, you can start with Cubone and try to chase after your Skull Fossil, Rampardos,or Marowak ex depending on the situation you see yourself in.

The Giant Cape along with Cubone's Growl is decent enough for you to survive a few turns from cards like Farfetch'd or Kangaskhan

Rampardos is strong with Lucario. The +20 damage buff ensures that most Pokemons are in the OTK range. I also run a single Hitmonchan for early agro with 2 X Speed. That is helpful in you go first: You may want to retreat Riolu, evolve it and attack for 30+20 or 50+20 (Cranidos). Leaf isn't needed in most cases, and "clashes" with Prof. Research. I don't run any HP buff/heal cards, nor EXs. I think Cyrus is slightly better than Sabrina. That approach is f2p friendly and A tier imo.
