Anti Sweep Rampardos

Got the idea for this from my Drifblim post when I was looking up Berry stuff.

Item: Custap Berry

Nature: Adamant

Evs: 255 Attack / 255 Spd

Moveset:
Endure
Head Smash
Earthquake / Double Edge / Endeavor
Brick break / Double Edge / Endeavor

Point of this set:
Your opponent is preparing for a sweep. They've some how managed to super stat up their gyrados or T-tar and it's all your fault. They also set up stealth rock so the lucario that you might possibly have for this sort of situation is useless, but fear not for Rampardos is on the case. You simply endure the first hit, then, while at 1hp your berry will activate. This miraculous berry will let you go first no matter what move you are using or they are using. Unless they are well educated in the fields of Pokemon they will most likely not know what this berry does. Thus you also have the element of surprise. Ohko with brick break on the t-tar, and OHKO with Head Smash on the gyrados. Just with head smash, you are sure to die too.

Counters for this set:
1.Luck Hax, counter of all, unfortunatly Head Smash only has an 80 percent acuracy.

2.Stuff that sweeps with a focus sash

3. I guess if they knew ahead of time they could taunt your rampardos so you can't use endure.

4.A sweeping P-wall? Endeavor to cripple atleast...

5. Possibly Garchomp, I haven't done the calculations yet, but if sand storm is up, you have a lesser chance to hit. Also you don't hit super effective with any type. I guess that's what endeavor is for though...

Opinion
I have to say, I like this set... It can really save you in almost any situation... Heck, you could even use it to break a wall... or atleast mostly break one... All in all, this set stops sweeps. The only flaw that I can really see is that Head smash has 80% accurracy.... Well don't blame me, blame luck hacks...
