[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 Combusken, which has access to Speed Boost and Swords Dance and a better dual STAB typing. 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.
[SET]
name: Offensive Utility
move 1: Flare Blitz
move 2: Wild Charge
move 3: High Horsepower / Will-O-Wisp
move 4: Morning Sun
item: Firium Z
ability: Flash Fire
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

This moveset takes advantage of its decent coverage with Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers. Rapidash has decent Speed, so it can attack first most of the time. However, Rapidash has poor Attack and is very susceptible to Stealth Rock, and has poor bulk that prevents it from switching in. This Pokemon shouldn't be used since it is outclassed by Combusken, which isn't susceptible to Stealth Rock, has a dual STAB typing, and has Swords Dance and Speed Boost, allowing it to become a better sweeper.
