Anime


Rampardos made its first appearance in the episode Wild in the Streets. It was during this episode that Gym Leader Roark's Cranidos evolved into a Rampardos.

Rampardos was used again in the next episode O'er the Rampardos We Watched, where Roark used it in a Gym battle against Ash in the rematch between them. Rampardos was Roark's final Pokémon, as his first two were defeated by Aipom and Pikachu, but Rampardos powered through both of Ash's Pokémon leaving him with just Turtwig. Using a combination of strategies Ash and his Turtwig overcame Roark's Rampardos and won the Coal Badge.
