Strategy Overview
Rapidash is a poor Fire-type for a team. It is a utility attacker with decent coverage and Will-O-Wisp. Sadly, Rapidash is outclassed by other Fire-types like Simisear and Combusken, which have access to setup moves, and Combusken has a secondary STAB and Speed Boost. It also has a weakness to entry hazards such as Stealth Rock and Spikes and suffers recoil from its moves. While it has a great Speed tier, it has a subpar Attack and a movepool that hurts more than it helps.
