Biology

Physiology

Rampardos is a large, dark-gray dinosaur-like Pokémon which, like its predecessor Cranidos, is based upon a Pachycephalosaurus. Rampardos has a blue stripe on its tail and one blue stripe on each of its knees and wrists. Rampardos also has a spike on each knee. Rampardos has a blue collar on its neck with two spikes on it. Two of Rampardos's head spikes are bigger than the other two. Its red eyes are obstructed by its dome-shaped head. Two short spikes are on this Pokémon's nose.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Like its pre-evolution, Rampardos's strength lies within its fierce head-butting attacks. A charging Rampardos can knock down virtually anything with one hit.

Behavior

Rampardos enjoy barging into objects with their heads to train their strength and reflexes.

Habitat

Rampardos once lived in jungles, but has been extinct from the wild for 100 million years and only exists via being cloned from fossil samples. Fossils from which Cranidos can be resurrected are only found in the Sinnoh and Unova regions.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Rampardos tears down jungle trees while catching prey.

In the anime

Roark's Cranidos evolved into a Rampardos in Wild in the Streets. It battled against Ash in his rematch. During the battle, Rampardos defeated Ash's Aipom and his Pikachu. It was defeated by Ash's Turtwig. It returned in Ancient Family Matters! where it fought Byron's Bastiodon.

A Rampardos appeared in the opening scenes of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Trivia

• Rampardos has the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon.
• Although Rampardos attacks primarily with its head, it could not learn Iron Head until Pokémon Platinum, and cannot learn Skull Bash. It also can't have the ability Rock Head.
• Rampardos and its pre-evolution Cranidos are the only Fossil Pokémon that are not dual-typed.
• Rampardos has the lowest base Defense of all fully-evolved Rock-type Pokémon.

Origin

Rampardos is based on the family of dinosaurs known as Pachycephalosauridae, although the head ornamentation resembles that of the Stygimoloch or Dracorex because of its height.

Name origin

Rampardos's name combines the words "ram" (to slam into), "rampage", "hard", and "rampart" (a type of fortress). The suffix "dos" is a common ending for dinosaur names.
