Haxorus or Rampardos?

I have 2 Rampardos and a Cranidos ready to level up to 100 but i’m not sure which one to choose one of these or my Haxorus which is already to level 100. Rampardos has amazing attack but not the best move pole (leveling up), While Haxorus has great attack too but not as much as Rampardos. It has a great move poll with Outrage, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, and Gulliotine. I still like Haxorus a lot better (he’s my favourite Pokemon). But i’m not really sure.

I’m going to have to argue forHaxorus

Rampardos does indeed pack more powerful attacks, but it is very slow, and with relatively little bulk and a whopping 5 weaknesses, it will often die before it gets the chance to attack. Trick room or rock polish can help with this, but Rampardos will find it hard to find a chance to set up.

Haxorus on the other hand has decent base 97 speed, which can be further boosted by dragon dance, allowing it to fire off powerful attacks before its opponents. With great moves like outrage, earthquake, aqua tail and superpower it can decimate all foes, even the steel types that resist its dragon moves. It’s defensive typing isn’t to bad either, with only two weaknesses and four resistances. Here’s a set I used ingame

Hope this helps

I would say Haxorus. It can learn Dragon Dance and it also has amazing attack. It can survive a hit with it’s decent defence, and Outrage and Earthquake are great moves. It can learn Iron Defence, so that it can raise defence and use Dragon Dance for even more turns (if the opponent is a physical attacker). It can make even legendaries fall face-down on the floor with Dragon Claw, which doesnt confuse Haxorus. Haxorus can also learn Iron Tail and Superpower. Of course, a Scarfed Rampardos with Head Smash is always nice, but Haxorus can destroy Rampardos, and many other Pokemon, in battle. I hope this helps! -Jellohamster

First of all, these are tough choices as both mons function very efficiently in the same way.

Haxorus has a higher base speed than Rampardos, however, Rampardos' attack is higher.

Rampardos functions well with a choice scarf, but Haxorus can be banded

Haxorus has an excellent ability in mold breaker, but Rampardos has the same ability and a better one in Sheer Force, which makes its attacks even more powerful.

Haxorus can use STAB outrage, which has a base power of 120, however, Rampardos gets head smash, which is 30 points more powerful at BP 150.

So, in the end, I would have to say Rampardos due to its ridiculous attack and its versatility, as it can also be run with Mold Breaker over Sheer Force to set rocks.

Haxorus is better. let me explain why. Rampardos, even scarfed, is not much faster than hax.Scarfing it will make it just a little bit faster than haxorus. But banding haxorus can make its attack reach 600 which is much more than the speed advantage scarfed rampardos will get. So, it’s better to use haxorus.
