In-Depth Analysis
Rapidash totals 500 across its base stats, profiling as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Lean on its Speed (105) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker HP (65).
Defensively, the Psychic, Fairy combination gives Rapidash 2 resistances, 1 immunity, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Rapidash in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
