As a Rock-type with a great Attack stat but relatively low Defense stat, Rampardos' best moveset will allow the Pokemon to inflict maximum damage before it faints.

Rampardos trainers should keep in mind that the Pokemon is weak against Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-types. However, Rampardos excels against Fire, Flying, Normal, and Poison-type opponents.

The best quick-move for Rampardos

Smack Down, a Rock-type attack, is easily the best quick-move for Rampardos to know. It inflicts a good deal of damage and takes advantage of the crucial Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB). The second best fast-move that Rampardos can know in Pokemon GO is Zen Headbutt, but this Psychic-type move isn't recommended to use in many situations.

The best charged-move for Rampardos

A Rampardos that has the moves Smack Down and Rock Slide in its arsenal will be best equipped to deal the most damage to enemies. While Rampardos does have charged-moves such as Flamethrower and Outrage in its movepool, these really aren't going to do it as much good as its Rock-type attack options.
