252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Rampardos Head Smash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Clefable: 844-994 (214.2 - 252.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252+ SpA Transistor Regieleki Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Rampardos: 348-409 (103.8 - 122%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Rampardos becomes a natural part of the ever-evolving metagame, becoming another part of the deep, intricate puzzle of competitive play. Thanks to the meta not being decided by the knee-jerk reaction of a biased ""council""s first impression, the game can naturally and organically evolve to a healthy, stable, and innovative new level.

>Fanfic
Recognizes that anything that can insta-kill the best defensive core in the game without having to set up is a win button which goes against the spirit of competition, skill, and sportsmanship.

>actual meta
“Fixes” the broken element by adding in more broken elements, which makes about as much sense as using cane toads for pest control. The meta becomes such a restrictive powercrept clusterfuck that the only thing that determines who wins is speed ties and random chance.

Don't worry, I don't expect you to listen to logic or evidence- you're too far into your smoggie cult group-think. But, after all your doublethink and mod-enforced echo-chamber rhetoric, you should wonder why Smogon has failed to hold a genuinely competitive, high-profile tournament in 17 (seventeen) years.

I think your underestimating how strong huge power with base 165 attack is. With a choice band it would have 1400 attack with no set up. Add on to of that STAB priority that OHKOs anything that isn't a dedicated physical wall or a resist (but it has priority coverage for it's resists and can easily OHKO walls with head smash). The only counters I can think of are conkeldurr and tapu Lele and they'd still take massive damage and only force it out until later. Rillaboom can revenge kill it consistently I'm pretty sure it serious through any team without one of those three Pokémon. This thing would be insta-banned to Ubers

Huge Power = ちからもち = Chikaramochi = mochi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit

>In Chinese folklore, the rabbit often is portrayed as a companion of the Moon goddess Chang'e, constantly pounding the elixir of life for her and some show the making of cakes or rice cakes; but in Japanese and Korean versions, the rabbit is pounding the ingredients for mochi or some other type of rice cakes.
