Is Trick Room Rampardos viable in Doubles?

Apr. 7, 2015

Little idea for doubles.

Lead with an attack invested, speed reduced Rampardos and a trick Room user. Equip a focus sash to Rampardos and then let it go with Stone Edge or another hard hitting move?

Or..

Switch in same but banded Rampardos with trick room already up and let it run riot with some hard hitting moves?

Thoughts?

Choice Scarf Ramparados doesn’t work, so this may be a viable option. If you are to set this up, try out these sets:

Rampardos @ Choice BandAbility: Mold BreakerEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 DefBrave NatureIVs: 0 Spe- Head Smash- Crunch- Double-Edge- Protect

Cresselia (F) @ MagnetAbility: LevitateEVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpDRelaxed NatureIVs: 0 Spe- Trick Room- Psychic- Charge Beam- Protect

Try this out, it’s a great idea! Hope I helped and good luck!
