Rapidash's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Rapidash PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Rapidash is a low-tier Fire-type attacker and is generally outclassed by numerous stronger Fire-types. Its September 2024 Community Day move, Wild Charge, did nothing to improve its PvE performance.

🛡️ Gyms

Rapidash is most often used as little more than a Gym slot filler. It can occupy a space, but there are far better options for both attacking and defending.

Rapidash PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Incinerate gives Rapidash excellent Fast Move pressure, while Drill Run and Wild Charge provide strong and flexible coverage. Wild Charge is especially valuable, allowing Rapidash to flip matchups it would otherwise struggle with, including Water-types like Dondozo and Araquanid, as well as Flying-types like Talonflame and Corviknight.

The downside is that Rapidash can be awkward to use. Incinerate's long animation makes timing important, Wild Charge comes with harsh defensive debuffs, and Rapidash itself is not particularly bulky.

🟡 Ultra League

Rapidash performs better here, where it can threaten Steel- and Flying-types while also beating Pokémon such as Ampharos, Shadow Ninetales, Snorlax, Cresselia, Alolan Muk, and even Skeledirge.

Its fast access to powerful Charged Attacks also creates substantial shield pressure. However, low bulk and Incinerate's long cooldown still make Rapidash somewhat difficult to use consistently.

🟣 Master League

The racetrack ends before the Master League. Rapidash simply lacks the stats and overall power needed to compete here.

Fire Fire

Pokédex informationMore information

Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%.

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
  • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
  • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
  • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.
