I was playing around with this mon a week back. I came to this exact set except I would alternate between a Kasib or Babiri berry. Babiri for the tech against the Sub-NP Steel/Dark move Hydreigon set that shot in popularity and is a standard set now. Kasib was for unsuspecting Dragapults (which is a crazy mon with a crazy speed tier). In both cases, Rapidash would win the Dynamax war.Seeing as this has had a surprising amount of discussion I will just step back in to say the set has been updated to such
Rapidash-Galar @ Expert Belt / Life Orb
Ability: Pastel Veil
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Wild Charge
- Low Kick
TPP has kindly given a response above on how such set should be used.
This mon isn't terrible. It has good speed and attack. It is just kinda frail and simply outclassed. However, I think it will have a place maybe in RU or NU.
Dynamax allows it to set Misty terrain and beat walls (in particular while I was playing GCorsola) after an SD - in particular those that tend to go for burn initially.
I found that Wild Charge (for Gyara and Corvignight) and Low Kick (for Ferro and Exca) is the best coverage.
