Sam Champion
 
After looking at Tortured Soul's thread, I've realized the awesomeness of Rapidash. Therefore, here is the best set for her ever.

Spoiler:
Rapidash:
Nature:Relaxed
Ember
Poison Jab
Fire Blast
Bounce

Killer.


In all seriousity, here are my ideas:

[email protected] Orb/Focus Sash***Loquacity (It's not over yet, Loquacity! Not till I get those secrets!)
Nature:Naive
Megahorn
Flare Blitz/Fire Blast/Overheat
Will-o-Wisp
Hypnosis
EV:???


See, here is my plan. With her SPD, she can outrun those critical pokes, like Garchomp or Nape, for a burn or a sleep.


But, the dilema. I can give it Flare Blitz, & make it a physical Attacker, or I can make it mixed, like my Flygon. But I need help with those EVs.

What in the world do you want from me? ;_; By the way Focus Sash + Flare Blitz is a no. But I'm sure you know that.

sims796 January 12th, 2008 7:16 PM

I know you know I know. Was with Life Orb, although in afterthought, that is recklessly suicidal. Then again, she isn't meant to take hits.

What do I want? The secrects of WORLD DOMINATION!

How about 252spd/ 180spatk/ 76atk?

Iceman3k January 12th, 2008 7:27 PM

Make it all Physical. Give it Shell Bell, if that helps.
Otherwise, you should go Wide Lens to help Hypnosis.

But man, Will-O-Wisp + Hypnosis on Rapidash... Even I couldn't think of anything that sexy. Too awesome for words. :cool:

luke January 12th, 2008 7:32 PM

Rapidash's greatest role is one as a Double Status Agent. Good job:

- Flare Blitz
- Megahorn
- Will o Wisp
- Hypnosis

sims796 January 12th, 2008 7:41 PM

That makes EV distribution all the easier.

Classic 252 ATK/252 SPD, 6 whatever.

Also, go Jolly now. Ah Jolly Unicorns, gotta luv'em. I wouldn;t use a Life Orb eith Flare Blitz, I would go Focus Sash.

sims796 January 12th, 2008 9:17 PM

Jolly & Naughty is debatable.Whichever pops out first. Either way, her spd will increase, & ATK won't decrease, so whichever comes first.

I'm personally a fan of suicide moves + Life Orb, especially on Pokemons with low survivability.
You know, to catch people off-guard and do more hurting than usual.

But since your Rapidash has two support moves, I guess it's not optimal.

i use that exact rapidash, and yes, i run it with focus sash. decent starter.

just go with a simple jolly 252 SPD/252 ATK rapidash.

Faceless* January 13th, 2008 5:55 AM

o.o Rapidash can learn Hypnosis..? Lol.

I would make it all physical, even Skarmory wouldn't want to come out on Rapidash

Cause a switch with Hypnosis, and burn the next one that tries to get in
